UTHealth School of Dentistry (UTSD) is located in the Texas Medical Center (TMC), the world's largest medical complex with 48 member institutions dedicated to the highest quality in patient care, research, and education. The most advanced equipment and educational technology are available in UTSD. For example, our Clinical Simulation and Learning Center was the first in the world to incorporate electronic patient records, multi-media, and mannequins in an actual clinic setting. Before treating real patients, our students train with virtual patients complete with demographics, medical histories, diagnostic images, photographs, and even digital models. The School of Dentistry admits 105 predoctoral dental students each year. The school year consists of two 18-week semesters and one eight-week summer session.

Founded in 1905, The University of Texas School of Dentistry at Houston was the first dental school in Texas and was a founding institution of the world-renowned Texas Medical Center. The school continues to lead dental education today as part of The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth).

The University of Texas School of Dentistry, a part of UT Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth), educates dentists, dental hygienists, and dental specialists, including oral and maxillofacial surgeons, orthodontists, endodontists, periodontists, prosthodontists, and pediatric dentists. The school also offers a general practice residency and advanced education in general dentistry.
