Founded in 1960, the School of Stomatology, Wuhan University (WHUSS), was the first dental school established entirely by the new Chinese government. In 2000, WHUSS became part of Wuhan University.

Over the decades, WHUSS has evolved into a comprehensive institution that integrates teaching, research, and medical services. It is recognized as one of China's top dental schools and a key educational hub for stomatology.

The school offers doctoral programs in stomatology, with oral basic medicine designated as a national key discipline. Its faculty includes distinguished educators and researchers, with 24 doctoral advisors and 61 master's advisors. Equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment facilities, WHUSS remains at the forefront of global advances in dental technology and research.

WHUSS enrolls students in diverse programs, including five-year, seven-year, and eight-year undergraduate-to-graduate pathways, as well as master's, doctoral, and international programs. Scholars and researchers from around the globe frequently visit to deliver lectures and foster academic exchange, contributing to the international perspective of its graduates, who now thrive in countries worldwide.

The hospital serves as a postdoctoral research station in oral medicine and hosts several nationally recognized laboratories, including the National Key Laboratory for Oral System Reconstruction and Regeneration and the Ministry of Education's Key Laboratory for Oral Biomedical Engineering.

WHUSS has spearheaded and completed numerous national and international research initiatives, including projects funded by the National Natural Science Fund and collaborative programs with the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Health, and Hubei province. In recent years, it has secured 107 National Natural Science Fund grants and achieved three breakthroughs recognized with the second prizes of the National Science and Technology Progress Award.

The hospital consistently ranks among the top 20 medical institutions in China for SCI publications. Notably, two doctoral dissertations from WHUSS have been distinguished for their exceptional quality and impact among national submissions.

As a tertiary Grade A specialist hospital, WHUSS serves as a premier center for teaching, research, and clinical internships in oral medicine. Its 23 clinical and medical departments include several nationally designated key specialties, supported by a team of three outstanding experts recognized by the former Ministry of Health, 17 nationally renowned dental experts, and over 300 senior and mid-level professionals.

As the birthplace of the Chinese branch of the International Association for Dental Research (IADR), WHUSS maintains extensive global partnerships. It collaborates with leading dental schools, such as the University of Alabama, the University of Copenhagen, and Queensland University of Technology, among others. Through active participation in international conferences and forums, WHUSS stays at the forefront of global dental advances while promoting China's contributions to oral medicine.

The faculty, staff, and students of WHUSS are committed to advancing the institution's mission of becoming a world-class dental academy. They are dedicated to transforming the school into a globally leading center for education, research, and clinical excellence.
