Overview

In 1975, the then Department of Health and Welfare, having recognised the need for dental therapists, decided to make facilities for their training available at the Ga Rankuwa Hospital. During 1980 the first Dean of the Faculty, Prof L T Tariaard was appointed on a part time basis. The building of the dental’ complex started in 1984.

The School of Dentistry forms an integral part of the Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University and therefore our Vision, Mission and Values are aligned to those of the university. In order to accomplish our vision, mission and values, we will promote diversity in thinking, support creative breakthroughs, and commit to ethical, effective and accountable leadership.
