The Department was established in 1990 and was reorganized as the Dental Department in 2003, then renamed the Department of Stomatology in 2013. Over the decades, to improve service quality, the Department was renovated in 2007 and now has 40 dental chairs, over 50 staff members, an exclusive operating room, and 7 inpatient beds. To achieve professional excellence, the clinical services are divided into nine divisions—Prosthodontics, Periodontics, Endodontics, Orthodontics, Pediatric Dentistry, Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Family Dentistry, Operative Dentistry, and an Implant Center—providing comprehensive oral health care to patients.
As part of a teaching hospital, our mission is to cultivate outstanding dentists for the nation, undertaking responsibilities in education and research. The department’s attending staff includes 1 professor, 1 associate professor, 3 assistant professors, and 4 lecturers. Continuous learning is encouraged to advance medical/dental knowledge and techniques, with active participation in research and publications. With excellent faculty, comprehensive training programs, sound systems, and a supportive work environment, we attract top dental students from universities such as National YangMing Chiao Tung U., National Defense Medical Center, TMU, China Medical U., KMU, and Chung Shan Medical U. for internships, and we openly recruit outstanding graduates for PGY and residency training. We strive to enhance the quality of dentists in the country and keep our dental education on par with leading nations.
Providing quality oral care for veterans is our fundamental duty, and our goal is to become a world-class oral medicine center offering high-quality dental care to the public.
