About us

The Royal Dental Hospital of Melbourne is Victoria’s centre of excellence in oral health.

We are the home of specialist oral healthcare in the public system, as well as providing world-class general and emergency care. Our passionate experts offer treatment in orthodontics; special needs dentistry; oral and maxillofacial surgery; endodontics; periodontics; prosthodontics; paediatric dentistry; and oral medicine.

We’re also the state’s leading oral health teaching institution. Most Victorian oral health professionals start their journey at the Royal Dental Hospital of Melbourne. In partnership with the University of Melbourne, RMIT and La Trobe University, we provide students with their earliest practical training. In our clinics, labs and lecture theatres, they learn not only the intricacies of their disciplines but the value and power of public health.

Today, after more than 130 years serving the community, the Royal Dental Hospital of Melbourne stands as the beacon for oral healthcare in Victoria. In an uncertain world, in moments of crisis, RDHM is an institution Victorians trust to receive compassion and clinical excellence.
