Informational only. This table compares accredited U.S. dental schools on durable, objective facts — public/private control, the predoctoral degree awarded (DDS or DMD), founding year, and parent university. It is not a ranking and makes no admissions or outcome claims. The DDS and DMD are equivalent degrees with the same curriculum and licensure; the choice of letters is purely the school's naming preference.

About this data. School names, locations, public/private control, and the predoctoral degree awarded are compiled from the American Dental Association, the Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA), the ADEA, and U.S. Department of Education IPEDS. Always confirm current details with the school and CODA before making decisions. This site is informational only and is not affiliated with any school.
