Touro College of Dental Medicine

What Touro College of Dental Medicine does

Touro College of Dental Medicine (TCDM) is a private nonprofit dental school founded in 2016 and operating as part of the Touro University system. It is the first dental school to open in New York State in over 50 years and the 66th dental school in the United States, with its primary campus on New York Medical College's 54-acre site in Westchester County, NY, and a second campus that opened in April 2025 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on the Lovelace Biomedical Research Institute grounds. The institution enrolls approximately 214-218 students per DDS class across four years, supplemented by CODA-accredited post-graduate programs in Orthodontics (36-month residency), General Practice Residency (20 positions across multiple hospital sites), and Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery (with an M.D. option through NYMC School of Medicine), plus ADA CERP-recognized continuing education courses.

TCDM was architecturally designed as one of the first fully digital dental schools in the country, integrating digital workflows from day one through the Konikoff Digital Dental Studio (opened March 2021), the Konikoff Education Center (opened July 2023), a 116-seat dental simulation laboratory, and a clinical technology stack that includes intraoral scanners, cone beam CT, panoramic radiographic units, chairside digital scan design, and a complete digital laboratory for printing and milling. The 115-chair Touro Dental Health teaching practice in NY, together with the new NM facility and Touro Dental Health Kids, supports hands-on clinical training while delivering over 45,000 patient visits annually across general dentistry, oral surgery, orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, and special needs care. Outcome metrics are strong: the Class of 2026 achieved a 100% residency match rate, and the Class of 2020 posted a 94.5% NBDE Part 1 pass rate versus a 90% national average.

The business model is tuition-driven, with first-year DDS tuition of $94,250 and total cost of attendance around $116,000, generating subscription-style revenue from approximately 850 DDS students across four cohorts plus a smaller post-graduate population. Patient care services at Touro Dental Health and continuing-education course fees provide secondary revenue streams. The institution holds full CODA accreditation without reporting requirements (granted August 2021), Middle States Commission on Higher Education accreditation, and ADA CERP recognition. Go-to-market is admissions-driven through the ADEA AADSAS application portal, with the Class of 2029 receiving 3,370 applications for 214 seats, indicating strong demand and selective admissions. Clinical training is delivered through a multi-site hospital network including NYC Health + Hospitals/Metropolitan, Westchester Medical Center, Phelps/Northwell, and Open Door Family Medical Center, supplemented by community outreach programs such as Smiles for Vets and Give Kids a Smile.
