The Dental Course at Queen’s is seen as one of the most progressive in the UK and has always been recognised for its high teaching standards. Dental graduates from Queen’s have made a marked impact on national and international dentistry.

Dentistry at Queen’s has been responsible for delivering dental education in Northern Ireland since 1920. It has been situated at its current site since 1965 and underwent a significant expansion in 1994. A full refurbishment is underway which will ensure that dental students at Queen’s have access to the most modern clinical facilities of any UK Dental School.
