Dental services

Our Dental Hospital is part of the Dental Institute which brings together Guy's and St Thomas' Foundation Trust and Kings College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and Kings College London.

Its aim is to provide undergraduate and postgraduate training for dental students and to train professions complimentary to dentisty, such as dental nurses and hygienists. It also provides a wide range of general and specialist clinical services.

The Institute is the largest dental teaching hospital in Europe and continues to be a world leader in many areas of dental research.
