The University of Sydney School of Dentistry
Australia's first dental school
For more than 100 years, we have provided education and training in dentistry and oral health, creating exceptional graduates, conducting research with a real-world impact and offering continuing education.
About the Sydney Dental School
Our school is based in integrated research, teaching and clinical settings. We have connections not only with Sydney Dental Hospital, Nepean Hospital and the Westmead Centre for Oral Health, but also with other other local health district dental hospitals in remote, regional and rural NSW such as Ballina, Broken Hill, Dubbo, Orange and Armidale.
This allows our students to step outside their comfort zone, meet patients, learn from diverse oral health issues, interact with dental and medical professionals and develop an understanding of current issues in healthcare.
Our academics are expert oral health professionals, and our researchers are pioneering new dental treatments to improve patient outcomes. Our graduates are caring, clear thinking, clinically outstanding and research capable. They are engaged and globally aware and have the capability to become leaders in oral health and dentistry practice and research.
