Keep your community smiling

Dentists work to improve oral health in our communities. They’re lifelong learners who care about their patients and their work.

Dentistry is a science and an art. It’s flexible and rewarding, and it changes lives.

What will you do?

Our Bachelor of Dental Surgery supports you in becoming a highly skilled and patient-focused dentist. You will:

build clinical experience starting in your very first year

learn in Australia’s newest dental teaching hospital, in the state-of-the-art Adelaide Health and Medical Sciences building

explore the full range of dental therapies—from complex restorative to preventative-based treatments

practise using equipment in our Dental Simulation Clinic

tackle real-life case scenarios in teams

benefit from extensive placements across metropolitan and rural settings

improve lives through community outreach programs.

Where could it take you?

You could work in a local or community dental clinic or provide dental care for people in the developing world. You might become a defence force dentist. Perhaps you’ll be a researcher, making new discoveries to improve oral health care.
