About The Virginia Commonwealth University School of Dentistry
As one of the top dental schools in the country and the only in Virginia, VCU School of Dentistry plays a vital role in preserving and improving the oral and general health of the state. Located on the VCU Health Campus in historic Richmond with a robust fully specialized dental practice within the school, we utilize state-of-the-art technologies to provide a unique, hands-on educational experience to students in our dentistry, advanced dental education, graduate research, and dental hygiene programs. Founded in 1893, we operate in accordance with the standards established by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of the American Dental Association.
From clinical and materials studies to cutting-edge biomedical research conducted at our Philips Institute for Oral Health, often in collaboration with National Cancer Institute-designated VCU Massey Cancer Center, research is present throughout our school. We serve the community by providing affordable dental care to those in need at our downtown clinics, through service-learning collaborations at 13 community clinics throughout the state, by facilitating care at outreach events in underserved communities, through international volunteer missions, and by educating the public on topics involving oral health, not to mention countless hours of volunteer work and fundraising efforts led by our students and faculty.
