The University of Iowa College of Dentistry At the University of Iowa College of Dentistry, talented students come from across Iowa and beyond to learn the art and science of modern dentistry from top classroom and research faculty. The highly ranked college, one of only two schools in the nation that provide advanced education in all dental specialties, is the second oldest dental school west of the Mississippi River and the only one in Iowa. Graduating 70 D.D.S. students per year from 10 departments, the college offers state-of-the-art facilities, including: • A simulation clinic Students are encouraged to integrate scientific knowledge, technical expertise, and problem-solving and treatment-planning skills in the service of advancing the care of patients and the profession of dentistry. Approximately 80 percent of Iowa's dentists are graduates of the college, which supports hundreds of Iowa dentists each year through continuing education programs. The College of Dentistry's commitment to serving the dental-health needs of all Iowans is exemplified by its Geriatric Mobile Unit, which brings equipment and expertise to nursing homes and care facilities, and its Special Care Clinic, which specializes in providing dental care for special-needs patients. Initiatives like these serve Iowa's communities by helping those in need and by training tomorrow's dentists in the care of special and underserved populations.
