Dentists work to improve oral health in our communities. They’re lifelong learners who care about their patients and their work.

 

Dentistry is a science and an art. It’s flexible and rewarding, and it changes lives.

 

What will you do?

Our Bachelor of Dental Surgery supports you in becoming a highly skilled and patient-focused dentist. You will:

• build clinical experience starting in your very first year
• learn in Australia’s newest dental teaching hospital, in the state-of-the-art Adelaide Health and Medical Sciences building
• explore the full range of dental therapies—from complex restorative to preventative-based treatments
• practise using equipment in our Dental Simulation Clinic
• tackle real-life case scenarios in teams
• benefit from extensive placements across metropolitan and rural settings
• improve lives through community outreach programs.

 

Where could it take you?

You could work in a local or community dental clinic or provide dental care for people in the developing world. You might become a defence force dentist. Perhaps you’ll be a researcher, making new discoveries to improve oral health care.
