To apply to the graduate program with Dental Specialty training applicants must complete the online application form from the School of Graduate Studies website at: https://admissions.sgs.utoronto.ca/apply/.
Please note that you must apply one full year in advance of your intended start date and that application deadlines vary by specialty as follows:
June 1: Endodontics & Periodontology
August 1: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery & Prosthodontics
September 1: Dental Anaesthesia, Oral Medicine, Oral Medicine and Pathology, Oral Pathology, Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, and Pediatric Dentistry

In addition to the online application form the following documents must be received by the Admissions Office by the application deadline:
- Non-refundable application service fee of $ 290.00 CDN payable to the University of Toronto. Payment may be made by credit card.
- A statement outlining your interest in the program. Include information on your background, interest, aptitude and ability for the Specialty Program. If available include information on the research project you wish to pursue.
- A Curriculum Vitae or Resume
- Official transcripts of your academic record from each university attended are required for admission. Applicants who attended universities outside North America must provide notarized English translations to accompany all foreign documentation not written in English. It is the applicant's responsibility to arrange for transcript(s) to be sent directly from their institution to the Admissions Office. Academic records must be enclosed in an envelope provided by the institution(s) concerned and sealed or signed across the back of the envelope. Do not open. University of Toronto students applying to the dentistry program do not need to send in their official University of Toronto transcripts. We will download them from ROSI.
If academic records are interim pending completion of studies in progress, official final academic records indicating that the degree has been conferred must be submitted to the Admissions Office as soon as possible and before admission can be finalized. The School of Graduate Studies includes instructions about clearing these conditions on the Offer of Admission.
- At least TWO supporting letters of reference are required. If referees are submitting hard copies of their reference letters, ask your referees to enclose the letter (there is no departmental form to be completed) of reference in a sealed envelope with a signature across the seal.
- Proof of English facility (if applicable) sent directly by the testing agency to the University of Toronto.
- For international students proof of sufficient funding for the duration of the intended program of study is required. Documentation is to be prepared and submitted by your financial institution or financial sponsor.
Applicants to the M.Sc. or Ph.D. degree programs with specialty training in Dental Anaesthesia are required to register with the Postgraduate Dental Matching Program.
The online application allows applicants to manage and submit all the required admissions documents listed above. All documents may be submitted together with your online application electronically, or hard copies can be submitted directly to the Admissions Office at:
