Center for Advanced Dental Education

The Center for Advanced Dental Education prepares dentists to become astute clinicians in the fields of orthodontics, endodontics, periodontics and pediatric dentistry.
Our clinics, Dental Specialties of Saint Louis University, provide services for both adults and children. We offer advanced care at a lower cost than traditional practices. Services include orthodontics (braces), endodontics (root canals), periodontics (gum disease and implants) and pediatric dentistry (children). General dentistry services are offered only in the pediatric dentistry program.

Founded in 1818, Saint Louis University is one of the nation’s oldest and most prestigious Catholic institutions. Rooted in Jesuit values and its pioneering history as the first university west of the Mississippi River, SLU offers nearly 13,000 students a rigorous, transformative education of the whole person. At the core of the University’s diverse community of scholars is SLU’s service-focused mission, which challenges and prepares students to make the world a better, more just place.
