Which of the following accurately depicts the educational investment required to become an oral and maxillofacial surgeon?

Oral and maxillofacial surgeons complete extensive training: typically a bachelor’s degree, dental school, and an accredited residency, which may also include medical-school training. This can take about a decade or longer overall. A dental degree followed only by licensing, as in choice B, does not provide the required surgical residency training.
