Investing in the Future of Dentistry

Our students and residents are extraordinary in so many ways; they are not only honing their skills as clinicians, but as advocates, researchers and entrepreneurs. Your support allows students to focus on their education, providing better care for their patients, and on their families and loved ones. Your gift to funds like the Dental Alumni Association Scholarship, Old North State Dental Society Scholarship, Alberta B. Dolan Scholarship and departmental fellowships allow us to recruit talented students, keep debt low and set students up for success in school and after graduation.

Service to the State and Beyond

Our graduates are entering a truly global profession. Our vision encompasses both local and global perspectives and aims to contribute educational and service outreach that will make a positive impact in our communities in North Carolina and beyond. Locally, our students provide oral healthcare and education through SNDA’s CAARE Clinic, SMILE Mobile Dentistry Clinic, SHAC Clinic, Pride Clinic, HSDA’s Vidas de Esperanza Clinic, the DYOR Clinic and many more. With trips to Mexico, Malawi, India, Uganda and Brazil, students get the opportunity to combine service, education and adventure while providing care to those in need abroad.
