Info
The University of Sydney School of Dentistry also known as Sydney Dental School is Australia’s first dental school and a constituent body of the University of Sydney, Australia. It has been training dental practitioners for over 100 years, and fosters research excellence, innovation and collaboration at the highest level.Previously the Faculty of Dentistry, the Sydney Dental School joined the newly formed Faculty of Medicine and Health on 30 April 2018. The new faculty was established to ensure the University was best positioned to address the challenges of healthcare in the 21st century.
The Sydney Dental School is based at the Westmead Centre for Oral Health (part of Westmead Hospital), and Sydney Dental Hospital (situated between Chalmers Street and Elizabeth Street opposite the entrance to Central Station). The Sydney Dental Hospital was the original site of the Sydney Dental School when it was first opened in March 1901. The school also has connections with other local health district dental hospitals, and provides opportunities for students to undertake rural and regional placements.
Professor Heiko Spallek has been Acting Head of School and Dean of the Sydney Dental School since February 2018.
