University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Dentistry

The UMKC School of Dentistry is part of the University of Missouri-Kansas City which, in turn, is one of four campuses in the publicly funded University of Missouri System. The other universities are located in Rolla, St. Louis and Columbia.

The School of Dentistry is located a few miles north of the UMKC main campus in a historic part of Kansas City known as Hospital Hill. The school's health-care neighbors include the UMKC Schools of Medicine, Pharmacy and Nursing, Children's Mercy Hospital, Truman Medical Center and several other private and public health-care facilities. Our students are part of a vital community of scholars learning, researching and practicing in virtually every area of the health sciences.
The UMKC School of Dentistry can trace its lineage to more than a century ago when the Kansas City Dental College was founded in 1881. While its name has changed, the school's tradition of excellence has continued for more than 115 years.

The educational experiences available to dental, dental hygiene, advanced education and graduate students are rich and varied. The school's first-rate faculty comprises scholars, scientists and specialists, each dedicated to providing a quality education that is both comprehensive and individualized.
