Civilian Career Paths

Career associations are editorial assessments of the cited evidence, not an official crosswalk unless the evidence explicitly says so. O*NET supplies civilian occupation information, not proof of a military match. Related experience does not confer civilian qualifications. Tasks and tools below describe civilian work, not military training.

Prosthodontists

Military experience treating complex occlusal problems and replacing missing teeth and associated structures with prostheses directly aligns with civilian prosthodontic practice.

How to prepare: Ask the intended state's dental board to review your dental degree, examination history, and postdoctoral specialty training against its licensing and specialty-practice requirements. State licensure is required, usually with an accredited DDS or DMD and written and clinical exams; specialty practice also requires postdoctoral training.

What the civilian work involves
  • Examine patients to diagnose oral health conditions and diseases.
  • Fit prostheses to patients, making any necessary adjustments and modifications.
  • Replace missing teeth and associated oral structures with permanent fixtures, such as implant-supported prostheses, crowns and bridges, or removable fixtures, such as dentures.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Henry Schein Dentrix
  • Image management software
