Standing at the forefront of educating and preparing our students to excel as dental professionals.
The Department of Surgical Sciences at the University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry is dedicated to; the education of our pre-doctoral students, residents, and fellows, the advancement of knowledge in oral and facial surgery, and a focus on providing exceptional patient care. The Department was originally founded in 1923 by Dr. Francis J. Reichmann, making it the second oldest training program in the western United States. The Department consists of two Divisions, Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery as well as Hospital Dentistry. There are two associated advanced educational programs and a fellowship in Pediatric Cleft and Craniomaxillofacial Surgery. Our strengths arise from our excellent foundation forged from the long rich history of the department, as well as the industriousness and innovation of our faculty.
