Giving to make lives better

Building a LEGACY for the School of Dentistry

Welcome to the School of Dentistry at the UT Health Science Center San Antonio! The School of Dentistry accepted its first class of students in 1970 and rapidly rose to a level of national and international distinction. For more than 45 years, we have graduated top oral health care professionals, conducted pioneering research, and successfully treated tens of thousands of patients in San Antonio and across South Texas.

Our School of Dentistry offers state of the art clinical facilities in our newly opened Center for Oral Health Care & Research, scientists collaborating with clinicians and research teams worldwide, and students dedicated to achieving excellence in the field of oral health care.

With your help and continued support, we can continue to make lives better.
