History
Since the establishment of the Gyeongseong College of Dental Medicine in 1922, the Seoul National University School of Dentistry, as Korea’s first dental education institution, has been at the forefront of the development of dentistry in Korea for more than 90 years. We continue with our exceptional endeavor to meet the strong demand for skilled dentists and dental scholars, thus writing a new page of history in dental medicine.
