Office of Clinical Affairs

At VCU School of Dentistry, our mission is to educate tomorrow’s oral health care leaders in an environment of service and inclusion.  We utilize cutting-edge technologies and innovative research to provide the best possible care.  Our strength lies in a dedicated team of experienced faculty, skilled staff, and passionate students who pursue a common goal of meeting your oral health needs.

As the only school of dentistry in the Commonwealth of Virginia, our mission extends well beyond the dental chair. We seek to become the dental home for a vast community of patients with diverse backgrounds and needs. Whether you are seeking urgent care related to pain or comprehensive therapies, we are here to meet your unique needs with personalized, patient-centered care.

We are constantly driven to improve the oral health of our community. We want to not only treat dental disease but also empower our patients with the knowledge to make informed decisions that will lead to a lifetime of oral health. Thank you for becoming part of our patient family. We look forward to building lasting relationships with each of you.
