Our new 16,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility—located on the same level as the college’s Atrium—will transform pre-clinical training. Students will practice with the same technology they’ll use in real clinics—bridging the gap between classroom and patient care.

What’s Coming

  • 125 full-size dental chairs, including five clinical operatories that support patient care and continuing education.
  • Studio-style teaching stations for detailed demonstrations of techniques and protocols.
  • Manikins with lifelike features.
  • Advanced technology, including electric handpieces, fiber-optic lighting, suction systems, and operator chairs identical to those in student clinics.
  • Computers at every station for live demos, dental literature, and instructional videos.
  • Digital dentistry including intraoral 3D scanners and CAD/CAM software for designing crowns and bridges.
  • Integrated cameras for real-time feedback and faculty monitoring.

This new simulation lab isn’t just a space—it’s a promise to our students: to prepare them for the future of dentistry. Construction begins this spring. Watch for more information!
