Since our inception in 1964, our focus has been on achieving and maintaining excellence in four areas: comprehensive dental education, cutting-edge research, quality patient care, and a shared commitment to community service. Over five decades, our dedicated student dentists, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends, have propelled the UCLA School of Dentistry to being one of the premier dental schools in the world.

The caliber of our faculty, staff, and student dentists help foster a dynamic environment, focused towards the future. Along with our passion and dedication to be among the best in the world, UCLA Dentistry is truly unique. As part of a world-renowned research university, combined with excellent educational programs and clinic training, we believe this is where leaders are made.

A commitment to community service is emphasized here, and our student dentists, residents, and trainees are given numerous opportunities to interact with patients in order to experience first-hand the needs of the community. Its this same commitment to providing high quality, affordable care to our patients that sets the School of Dentistry and the UCLA Dental Clinics apart. With 3 Los Angeles locations and 13 specialty clinics, serving patients is an integral part of our teaching process.

Since that first graduating class in 1968, more than 5,000 DDS degrees have been awarded. And our vision and commitment to our students has never wavered: to offer an enriching environment that encourages our students to explore a variety of passions beyond their training, whether thats research, academia, or community service. We admit 88 student dentists each year for the incoming 4-year DDS program and 20 foreign-trained dentists for the 2-year Professional Program for International Dentists, the best and the brightest in the country and beyond to become a part of our UCLA Dentistry family. With more than 100 active residents at any given time, our residency programs are among the top in the country and we offer 13 specialty and general dentistry programs.

With some of the worlds most renowned researchers, our impactful research is at the top of its game. Our areas of innovative research focus on Cancer Diagnostics & Therapeutics, Craniofacial Biology & Bioengineering, Infection & Inflammation, and Health Services & Clinical Research.

We provide our students and trainees with experiences that will best prepare them to be successful in this evolving health care environment; and to be problem solvers and thinkers who can communicate effectively and take on technology with ease. Skilled and able to provide compassionate person-centered care in a more integrated health care system, our graduates will be fully prepared for the future of dentistry.

Aspiring to be a community of faculty, staff, students and patients, where a sense of belonging and respect is felt by all, is a culture thats deeply ingrained into our daily actions. And encouraging an environment of engagement and productive dialogue helps to foster our core values of compassion, tolerance, and mutual respect.

Already one of the top research programs in the nation, we want to be a leader in the transformation of dental education. With UCLAs hallmark culture of discovery and creativity, in an environment that values scholarship and innovation, we are poised to lead the way.

This place is a scam. Went for x-rays in March and was told I would hear from them in a few weeks. Here we are 4 MONTHS later and nothing. I've called to see what the deal is, only to be met with attitude. I asked for a refund and they said no, and that they could only give me a copy of my X-rays. I will have to read the waivers I signed to see what course of action to take now, but this definitely doesn't seem legit....

I give a billion stars to Dr.Dharik and his staff here at UCLA! He is very caring, compassionate, patient, detailed, and made sure that I was comfortable and felt wonderful every step of the way. I used to hate coming to the dentist and by that I really honestly mean it. Before I would just go to the dentist one time per year and be happy LoL but not here! I know I need a lot of dental work done here and it this is a school for the students but , but I absolutely understand their dedication and commitment to excellence because I am also a student myself. From everyone to security in the parking lot to the security guard in the front to the dentist and his assistants and supervisor, they really are exceptional professional ms and are beyond fabulous in customer service and I know because I've been working with people all my life. UCLA will always be the BEST because they're standards are extremely high and I absolutely love that I get this kind of stellar treatment beyond what I received in private practice offices. If you love to be waiting for hours and receive exceptional care and are patient and listen to instructions, then come here! You won't be disappointed! Even the numbing things that are used are exceptional. I am the type of person who feels everything and doesn't want to but Dr.Dharik makes sure I don't feel a thing and I ABSOLUTELY HATE PAIN so im happy when he gives me what I need to not feel anything. Not even a small bit. I can't wait to see how my teeth will look 6 months from now!!!!!!

THIS IS THE WORST DENTAL CLINIC EVER!! IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR AND I HAVEN'T SEEN MY MONEY THAT THEY STILL HAVE FROM PREVIOUS DENTAL WORK THAT I NEVER FINISHED. I ended up going to a real dentist to complete the work that they left with complications and faulty dental work. IF YOU GET DENTAL WORK DONE HERE YOU WILL SERIOUSLY REGRET IT!!!!

Before I made an appointment at the UCLA clinic on Venice I did my research on it. So I was fine with going to the clinic. The staff on the phone and in person has been very helpful, kind, and professional, not only to me but, I witness it with other patients too. The other day I had to have 3 teeth pulled. Doctor Pellerin and Doctor Fitzgerald did a great job because I haven't felt any discomfort and it's been three days. And I feel Bless to have Doctor Pellerin as my Dentist.

If you enjoy sub-par dentistry and having some teeth ruined, you'll love it here. If you like fighting with a university system for over a year for compensation - and finally getting 1/2 what it'll cost to have the shoddy work replaced, this is the place for you.

This place is a joke, I just call to enquire about simple tooth extraction and the lady on the phone say that first I have to schedule a $48 consultation appointment and then I have to make another $59 appointment, when all I need is for them to extract the tooth that is killing me for the last 6 days...and to finalize the lady hang up on me...

Dr. Dane Dudley is an outstanding dentist. He is highly professional, good humored and he took great care of me. He was patient with my questions as well as completely honest with me. I recommend him 100 percent.

Visited the dental clinic for consultation to replace my missing teeth. Dr. Dane Dudley was assigned to me and it was one of the best experiences of my life. Dr. Dudley completely treated me with the utmost care and professionalism anyone could ask for. Everything was laid out for me to decide before any treatment was performed. The end result is I am completely satisfied with the removal and replacement of my teeth. Excellent atmosphere adds to the personal and meticulous care Dr. Dudley performs. The expense was far less than I thought it would be for a whole new set of upper dentures and a large lower partial. I am pain free and look like a new man. I would highly recommend this clinic especially Dr. Dudley for all your dental needs.
