About the College of Dental Medicine
Where education, research, and patient care unite to improve oral health and serve communities across South Carolina and beyond.
Established in 1967, the James B. Edwards College of Dental Medicine began its journey as South Carolina’s only college of dental medicine. But MUSC’s College of Dental Medicine doesn’t rest on that legacy - it continues to lead with innovation, discovery, and impact. Join us as we advance the future of oral health through education, research, clinical excellence, and community outreach.
Discovery that moves oral health forward
At the College of Dental Medicine, research is opening new possibilities for how we understand, prevent and treat oral and craniofacial conditions. Our investigators are advancing discovery across biomedical science, bioengineering and digital dentistry, translating bold ideas into innovations that can transform patient care and improve health. Through collaboration across MUSC and beyond, we are helping shape the future of oral health.
