Committment: You must attend dental school and then do very well to be near the top of your class. Then you have to be accepted into a residency program which is from 4-6 years depending on whether you desire to get a medical degree as well. Oral and maxillofacial surgery is a very competitve fied, but it is also very rewarding.
