JCU Dental

Dentists Newcastle welcomes JCU Dental in Smithfield, for all their latest dental treatments and techniques, given gently by their caring team of dentists.

The James Cook University Dental School was established in 2008 in response to the challenges presented by the oral health needs of northern Australia, and its foundation is part of the Faculty of Medicine, Health and Molecular Sciences‘ strong commitment to the provision of professional health education in the area. Ours is one of only three dental schools in Australia located outside a capital city. The School’s establishment was funded by a grant of $52.5m from the Federal Government. The new, purpose-built building on the Smithfield campus of the University opened at the beginning of 2011. A new building to house JCU Dental, next door to the Discipline of Dentistry School Building, opened in February 2012.
