At UTHealth Houston School of Dentistry, innovation meets tradition in the heart of the Texas Medical Center, the world’s largest medical complex. Here, future dentists learn alongside world-renowned health care professionals in a collaborative environment built on excellence, compassion, and discovery.
Our Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) program blends cutting-edge technology with immersive, hands-on learning. In our Clinical Simulation and Learning Center, students practice on virtual patients with lifelike cases — complete with digital records, diagnostic images, and 3D models before treating real patients in our modern clinics.
Each year, we welcome more than 100 aspiring dental professionals who are ready to transform smiles and improve lives through science, skill, and service. With opportunities for research, community outreach, and even a dual-degree DDS/MPH pathway, UTHealth Houston School of Dentistry prepares graduates to lead in every area of oral health care.
