The mission of the UNLV School of Dental Medicine goes far beyond graduating the next generation of leading dental professionals. It is centered on providing care for underserved populations and discovering advances that will improve oral health care in the future.
We are educating dentists who are committed to serving the needs of our changing society. Through our efforts, we complete approximately 70,000 patient visits each year. Between 2011 and 2019, our faculty, resident, and student dentists provided more than $5.1 million in free care to more than 20,000 Nevadans through funded community outreach initiatives, and more than $3.5 million in free care to those most in need through philanthropic support at our on-site clinics. We are discovering breakthroughs, developing stronger educators, creating future professionals, and building better communities.
Thanks to the generosity of our faculty, alumni, friends and community partners, much has been accomplished since our founding in 2002. Join us as we take the next step toward creating a brighter future in oral health care and an improved quality of life for all.
