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, and advanced education programs in Endodontics, Orthodontics, Periodontics, Prosthodontics, and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. The small class size allows students to have a more personalized experience.
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 CRETs 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 students to experience interprofessional learning with the schools of medicine, nursing, pharmacy, and public health.
