Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health

What Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health does

Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health (ASDOH) is a private dental school operating as one of seven schools and colleges within A.T. Still University (ATSU), a private non-profit health sciences university founded in 1892. ASDOH is located on ATSU's Mesa, Arizona campus and was established to deliver dental education with a focus on whole-person healthcare and serving underserved populations. The school offers three academic programs: the Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD), the Master of Science in Orthodontics, and a DMD/MPH Dual Degree combining dentistry with public health.

The school's clinical training infrastructure includes simulation clinics for early patient experience, 3D printing services for dental models, and on-campus facilities such as the ASDOH Dental Clinic and the Center for Advanced Oral Health, which specializes in treating patients with special needs and complex medical conditions. ASDOH has established integrated community service partnerships with 25+ community health centers across Arizona, enabling community-based clinical training and supporting the Arizona Smile Forward initiative for underserved populations.

Revenue is generated primarily through tuition and fees from enrolled students (325 enrolled in fall 2025) plus clinical services delivered at the on-campus dental facilities. Admissions are processed through the AADSAS centralized application service and ATSU's centralized enrollment services. ASDOH has no external private equity or venture capital ownership and is governed within ATSU's unified administrative structure under Chancellor Craig M. Phelps. The school competes within a regulated higher education market where CODA accreditation, faculty credentials, and clinical training site availability are primary competitive dimensions.
