Mission and purpose

Mission

Students learn to provide high quality oral health care based on sound scientific principles

Patients receive competent care, which is preventive in purpose, comprehensive in scope, and provided with compassion and respect

Faculty, students, and staff value the patient relationship, respect diversity, and share responsibility by working together toward academic, professional, spiritual, and personal growth

Scholarly activity and research provide a foundation for evidence-based learning and enhance whole person care

The workplace environment attracts and retains a superior and diverse faculty and staff who motivate, educate, and serve

Our communities (local, global, and professional) benefit from our service, stewardship, and commitment to life-long learning.
