Texas A&M dentistry opens wide in Dallas

​​​DALLAS – State and Texas A&M University System and campus officials have dedicated the site of a new Dallas facility, which will, when complete, increase access to quality dental care.

The 157,756-sf, nine-story building features nearly 300 dental chair stations, clinical areas, classrooms and study spaces.

Patient parking will be in a garage on the new structure’s first three levels.

The facility will allow for a 25 percent increase in enrollment at the College of Dentistry, which will increase access to dental care for Texans.

Since 90 p​ercent of Texas A&M College of Dentistry graduating students stay in Texas to practice, the college will play a critical role in addressing the statewide shortage of oral health care providers.

The $127 million facility is expected to be completed fall 2019.
