History

The Sydney Dental Hospital, formerly "The United Dental Hospital of Sydney" was founded in 1905 under the Dental Hospital Union Act of 1904. Originally located in George Street, the State Government provided funds for the new hospital in Chalmers Street and the building was completed in 1912.[5] The building that now houses the Sydney Dental Hospital was opened in 1940 for the dual purpose of providing modern and efficient treatment for the impoverished as well as a functional training ground for dental students at the University of Sydney. Designed by the Sydney firm of Stephenson & Turner, it is an early and notable Australian example of the Streamline Moderne style.

In 2016, the Sydney Dental Hospital celebrated serving the community for 110 years.[6]
