We hear this question quite frequently—What is the difference between DDS and DMD? As you walk in the front door to Inland Family Dentistry, Dr. Goyer is listed as Nannette Goyer, DDS while Dr. Coe is listed as Doug Coe, DMD. Unfortunately, the answer is fairly anticlimactic. There is no difference. The Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) and Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) are the same degrees. It depends on which university the dentist attended. Dr. Goyer attended the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, and Dr. Coe attended the University of Oregon Health Science Center in Portland. Since I like my job, I’ll omit their graduation dates! Hope that helps solve one the great mysteries of dentistry!
