Texas A&M University School of Dentistry

What Texas A&M University School of Dentistry does

Texas A&M University College of Dentistry is a public dental school established in 1905 and operating as a component college of the Texas A&M University System from its main campus at 3302 Gaston Avenue, Dallas, Texas. Originally founded as Baylor College of Dentistry and integrated into the Texas A&M System in September 1996, the institution offers the Doctor of Dental Surgery degree, a Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene, ten graduate specialty certificate programs, and continuing dental education. It holds full accreditation from the Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA) across all programs, satisfying licensure requirements in every U.S. jurisdiction.

The college delivers clinical care through on-campus dental clinics, a graduate teaching clinic, three extramural community clinics, and rotation sites at Baylor University Medical Center (Level I Trauma Center affiliation), Children's Medical Center of Dallas, and Texas Scottish Rite Hospital. It is described as the largest oral health care provider in North Texas, with advanced clinical technology including cone beam 3D radiography, intraoral scanners, digital treatment planning, microvascular reconstruction, distraction osteogenesis, and minimally invasive surgical techniques. Research output is supported by NIH-funded programs (BIBS, NIDCR), industry-sponsored studies (Delta Dental), and grants from entities including Metrocrest Hospital Authority.

Revenue is generated through three principal streams: tuition-based dental education programs (DDS, dental hygiene, specialty certificates, continuing education), clinical patient care services (including reduced-fee graduate teaching clinics at approximately $5 per pediatric screening), and extramurally-funded research grants and sponsored programs. Community outreach, including the Empowering Smiles Oral Health Initiative serving underserved children and seniors in North Texas, is partly grant-funded. The institution is governed by the Texas A&M University System Board of Regents, is not independently traded, and is not subject to venture capital or private equity ownership structures.
