Densistry Department

The Dentistry service at Wollega University was established in 2010 E.C.  by two dental general practitioners, integrating both clinical care and academic training. In 2016 E.C., the service expanded to include Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMFS), initially launched by a single maxillofacial surgeon. Today, the department has grown to feature two oral and maxillofacial surgeons. Consequently, Wollega University Comprehensive Specialized Hospital delivers robust clinical and academic services powered by a dedicated team of one dental general practitioner and two oral and maxillofacial surgeons
