As the only university in British Columbia offering dental, dental hygiene and graduate specialty education all under one roof, the UBC Faculty of Dentistry holds a unique and vital role in shaping the future of oral healthcare. We are committed to advancing knowledge and practice in oral and general health through progressive clinical education, innovative research and community engagement. With more than 4,000 alumni spanning the globe, our impact is both local and international.
At the heart of everything we do are our students. In our state-of-the-art Nobel Biocare Oral Health Centre, they gain meaningful, hands-on clinical learning experiences while serving our diverse patient community.
Your support makes all of this possible. Every gift allows us to adapt to the ever-changing needs of oral health, pursue cutting-edge research and continue delivering a distinctive, high-quality education to our students. By giving to UBC Dentistry, you are helping create a world with better, more accessible oral healthcare and education for everyone.
Being a university student can be challenging and now, more than ever, supporting our students to thrive is top priority. That’s why to celebrate our 60th anniversary we are establishing the Dentistry Student Wellness Fund to support students’ mental, physical and emotional wellbeing.
The Community Access Fund at UBC Dentistry will provide comprehensive dental treatment to patients who cannot afford to pay for it. Your gift will help a patient access the dental care they need, while providing invaluable educational opportunities for the student dentists who are treating them.
Your gift to the Dentistry Research Fund fuels vital advancements in dental research and supports both faculty and students who are thinking big and making a difference in the future of oral health.
The UBC Geriatric Dentistry Program operates with a team of dentists, dental hygienists, certified dental assistants, and is supported by a specialized team of administrative personnel at UBC Dentistry.
UBC Dentistry students are each uniquely talented and academically outstanding, however, not all have the same opportunities. They are the next generation of dental leaders ready to create lasting and meaningful change and tackle the challenges that affect us all.
