Teaching Sites
We are leaders in clinical training and community initiatives
We equip our learners to become versatile professionals capable of practicing across various practice settings. Striving for excellence is built into our culture. We actively gather and evaluate data to elevate the standard of care we provide and to advance how we provide care. So while our sites are steeped in history, they are still at the forefront of continuous improvement.
Team Environment
We have a patient-centred, team-based environment where individuals receive comprehensive oral care. By training in our sites alongside a collaborative team of oral health professionals, our students are inspired to champion this high-standard, accessible care model throughout their careers.
North Campus Sites
Nestled next to Edmonton’s scenic river valley, our central locations include classrooms, offices, research spaces, and dental operatories across the university’s main campus.
Oral Health Clinic
Located in the Kaye Edmonton Clinic, this main clinical facility houses over 140 operatories.
Research Facility
Based on the 7th floor of the Katz Group Centre for Pharmacy and Health Research, we conduct training and research across specialized laboratories.
Simulation Lab
Inside the Dianne and Irving Kipnes Health Research Academy, our dental simulation lab offers an immersive setting where students can hone their hand skills using 60 high-fidelity simulators.
Specialty Clinics
Through partnerships with community groups, students provide care at several specialty clinics.
Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital
This clinic, affiliated with Alberta Health Services, offers specialized treatment and preventative oral health care tailored to adults and seniors with complex medical needs and disabilities.
Radius Community Health & Healing
Our weekday clinical rotations and Saturday SHINE outreach initiative both operate out of this Central Edmonton facility. Here, students gain vital experience serving patients who experience barriers to traditional care, including health concerns, social obstacles, and financial hardships.

Just steps from our main campus in the Walter MacKenzie Center, this full-service dental clinic provides comprehensive, round-the-clock care in partnership with Alberta Health Services.

Access for All
In partnership with the Métis Nation of Alberta, this student-led mobile clinic reduces barriers related to cost, distance, and anxiety while educating students on Métis culture.
