The College seeks to instigate and enable the development of dental practice: by monitoring what’s happening and identifying issues that need addressing in the service of patients. We aim to set the agenda for policy, research and standards, all with impact on day to day practice. Where there are unmet needs, we would like to incubate solutions or act directly until wider solutions are found.
Standards and guidance
Following the standard-setting role of the Faculty of General Dental Practice (UK), the College seeks to establish and promote high standards in dentistry.
