Postgraduate Education in Esthetic Dentistry


Welcome from the Head of the International Master's Programs

Univ.-Prof. Andreas Moritz, MD, DMD

The University Clinic of Dentistry is proud to introduce its International Master's Program in Esthetic Dentistry. The purpose is to train dentists in the rapidly expanding market of esthetic dentistry. The program is designed for practitioners who treat their patients in a general dental practice environment and seek to gain knowledge and skills for an evidence-based approach to esthetic treatment. Lectures by renowned specialists, pre-clinical hands-on training, case supervision, e-learning and much more are offered. We are delighted you are considering joining us for this important next step in your academic career and making us part of your future.

Looking forward to seeing you in Vienna!

Due to the amendment to the University Act in October 2021, the curriculum is currently being adjusted. Hence the admission process is on hold.
