Cost of Attendance: $387,770
Estimate repayment

Estimated loan burden for TEMPLE-DENT using 4 years of in-state tuition, $1,500 annual fees, $3,000 monthly living expenses, government-derived local cost-of-living adjustment, $1,000 loan fees, and an 8.5% interest assumption.

Cost of Living: Near national average cost of living

About the School

The mission of Temple University School of Dentistry is to provide excellence and innovation in the education and continued development of clinically competent general dentists, the provision of high quality oral health care services and preventive programs to the community, and the pursuit of scholarly activities and research leading to new scientific discoveries in dentistry.

Facilities

Our North Philadelphia location provides our students with an abundant pool of patients who need competent and affordable dental care. More important, the students, under the direction of highly skilled practitioners, satisfy the dental needs of the community. I am especially proud of the genuine rapport that develops between students and patients. Our patients are seen as more than requirements, and the interpersonal skills refined in Temple`s clinics serve our graduates well in practice. Our responsiveness to the needs of our community led to the creation of our renowned Rosenthal Clinic Center, formerly the Infectious Disease Center, which provides treatment to medically compromised patients in the City of Philadelphia and the surrounding communities. Our Outreach Programs provide treatment to the very young, the very old and to children in underserved rural and urban areas.
