Meeting a need
When you make a gift to the School of Dentistry, you help us meet our greatest and most urgent areas of need, including scholarships, faculty development, mission, academics, programs and other initiatives that fuel the Creighton experience.
Your support helps us stay flexible to the needs of our students, as they experience a truly transformative dental education dedicated to treating the whole person.
Your gift to the dental school has a tremendous ripple effect, not just for our students and school but the community at large.
Each year, the School of Dentistry serves more than 14,000 patients (more than 2,100 of them children).
By caring for so many patients, our students are not only fulfilling Creighton’s mission of service and justice for others; they’re becoming some of the most practice-ready dentists in the nation.

Shape the future of Creighton dentists
“There's nothing else I'd want to do but be a dentist, and there's nowhere else I'd want to study but Creighton's dental school. It's just one of the best, most well-rounded dental programs in the country. And the school's Jesuit mission to give back to the community aligns with my own values. I want to help serve the underserved, and Creighton has given me many opportunities to do so.”
— Emily Snodgrass, School of Dentistry
