About

Oral Health is Our Priority.

The West Virginia University School of Dentistry offers a Doctor of Dental Surgery, a Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene, advanced education programs in Endodontics, Orthodontics, Periodontics and Dental Implant Surgery and Prosthodontics, and residency programs in General Practice, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Pediatric Dentistry. Small class sizes allow students to have a more personalized experience.

The WVU School of Dentistry was one of three schools in the United States and Canada initially selected to establish a Center for Research and Education in Technology (CRET) Innovation Center. The Dr. W. Robert Biddington Center for Dental Innovation is a progressive, 2,239-square-foot learning environment. The CRET's five operatories feature newly developed, high-tech equipment.

The School of Dentistry is located in the WVU Health Sciences Center and is one of five schools focused on educating and training healthcare professionals. This comprehensive learning environment allows dentistry students to experience interprofessional learning with the schools of medicine, nursing, pharmacy and public health.
