A significant component of the D.M.D. curriculum is administered through the Department of Restorative Sciences. This includes activities within the Comprehensive Care Clinic and the Limited Care and Treatment Planning Clinic. The department also houses the first year Preclinical Dentistry and Operative Dentistry components of the D.M.D. curriculum.

Additionally, Prosthodontics emphasizes the didactic and clinical educational activity in fixed, removable, occlusion and implant prosthodontics within the D.M.D. curriculum as well as a postgraduate Surgical Implantology course. Clinical care in Prosthodontics is provided in the Comprehensive Care Clinic, and is supported by a full-service dental laboratory and administrative staff. Most of the second-year preclinical activities are within Prosthodontics.
