Creighton University School of Dentistry
About
Since its founding in 1905, Creighton University School of Dentistry has prepared more than 5,000 dentists for lives of professional excellence, community leadership and compassionate service.
Our alumni work around the world, with more Creighton dentists serving rural, underserved communities than graduates from any other private dental school in the country.
We serve more than 14,000 patients annually. By caring for so many patients, our students not only fulfill Creightonâs mission of service and justice for others; they become some of the most practice-ready dentists in the nation.
A Creighton dentist experiences an education focused on cura personalis, which means care for the whole person. Our educational program prepares dentists for lives of professional excellence, community leadership and compassionate service. Creighton dental students graduate ready to deliver outstanding clinical care, with a deep understanding of how a dentist can address health inequity and health disparities across the lifespan. Â
The robust campus inter-professional experiences in our curriculum and in our clinical experiences contribute to our rich learning environment.
We are proud to partner with many community organizations and are dedicated to making dental care accessible to all. Inspired by our Catholic tradition and informed by our Jesuit heritage, the School of Dentistryâs mission and vision is to educate the whole person, and to be men and women working for and with others.
