The University of Bristol Dental Hospital is a specialist hospital for dental treatment in Bristol, England.[1] It operates in conjunction with the University of Bristol Dental School. The Bristol Eye Hospital is adjacent, and the Bristol Royal Infirmary nearby.[2] It is managed by the University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust.[1][3]

History

The hospital has its origins in the Dental Department of the Bristol Royal Infirmary which was established in 1883.[2] The first dental degree was awarded to a student in 1912.[2]

A site for a purpose-built dental hospital was selected in Lower Maudlin Street and construction started in 1935.[2] The dental hospital and school opened in 1939 and was extended in 1965, 1973, 1985 and 1995.[2] A major expansion and refurbishment was completed in 2009.[4]
