School of Dental Medicine

Our students already have direct access to exceptional faculty, cutting-edge facilities—like our recently completed, state-of-the-art preclinical simulation-- a diverse patient population and groundbreaking research opportunities. And for us, that’s only the beginning. Further philanthropic funding will:

• Fuel a $40 million renovation of our Squire Hall dental clinics, providing students access to modern operatories dedicated to specialty training
• Provide more student opportunities to gain hands-on experience in our outreach and mobile clinics
• Expand transformative student experiences working with Native American populations and overseas

Dental medicine is a research-intensive web of scientific specialties, one that profoundly influences whole-body wellness. To build on our research strengths, we’re seeking philanthropic contributions to endow professorships and chairs, boost lab capabilities and support our Oral Health Research Fund. Your support will enable us to recruit and retain world-class researchers who will elevate our already prominent faculty profile—and advance dental medicine more rapidly than ever.

We put our research findings and clinical advances into practice right here in Western New York. At our community clinic in Squire Hall, donor support has enabled free or reduced-cost care to more than 15,000 Western New York residents every year. Our Mobile Dental Unit roams underserved regions. Philanthropy also supports an Interprofessional Education (IPE) program and online courses. With your investment, we will position our graduates at the forefront, and help more dentists, health professionals and patients throughout the world.
