About the School
The Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry is one of the leading dental schools in the nation and has served the Bay Area community since 1896. Our dental clinics handle 200,000 patient visits a year, offering low-cost comprehensive dental care to adults and children.
Curriculum
Pacific is the only dental school in the United States offering an accelerated, year-round predoctoral program where students are able to complete four academic years of instruction in three calendar years. This allows students the opportunity to enter private practice or specialty programs one year earlier than other dental schools. The school is also the originator of such curricular innovations as comprehensive patient care and competency-based education. Currently, the School of Dentistry has approximately 500 students enrolled in six educational programs, including: predoctoral program leading to a DDS degree; two-year International Dental Studies program for foreign-trained dentists; two-year Graduate Orthodontic program; one-year Advanced Education in General Dentistry program; four-year residency program in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the Highland General Hospital, Alameda County Medical Center; and a three-year hygiene program leading to a bachelor's degree in dental hygiene.
Facilities
The School of Dentistry operates 11 clinics within its San Francisco location and rotates students through its extramural clinics, the Union City Dental Care Center, Highland General Hospital and Advanced General Dentistry and Dental Hygiene Clinics in Stockton. In 2003, Pacific provided more than $500,000 of uncompensated care, and another $5.7 million of care at substantially reduced prices, to assist the culturally and socio-economically diverse population of the San Francisco Bay Area. Pacific's CARE Clinic provides free dental services to qualified San Francisco residents with HIV or AIDS through funding from the federal government's Ryan White CARE Act. Each year, Pacific clinics handle 200,000 patient visits and provide outstanding clinical and practice management preparation for its students.
