Ziauddin College of Dentistry provides a comprehensive dental education to our students. Our college was established with the aim of producing experienced and well-trained dental professionals who are dedicated to achieving excellence in patient care and research.

We offer a range of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes to our students. Our undergraduate programme, the Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS), is designed to provide students with a thorough understanding of dental science and patient care.

For those who wish to pursue advanced studies, we offer postgraduate programmes such as M.Phil. Basic Dental Sciences and FCPS. The college of Dentistry provides FCPS clinical training in two dental specialties: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Operative Dentistry. Our clinical courses are designed to provide students with hands-on experience in patient care and exposure to the latest techniques and technologies used in dental practice.

Our faculty members are highly qualified and experienced dental professionals who are committed to providing the best possible education to our students. They are dedicated to helping our students achieve their goals and succeed in their careers.

We take pride in being one of the leading dental colleges in the region and are committed to maintaining our position as a center of excellence in dental education. At Ziauddin College of Dentistry, we are always striving to improve our programmes and facilities to provide our students with the best possible education and training.

Principal Message

Ziauddin College of Dentistry has a goal to not only provide a first-class education to our students but to also improve the overall health and well-being of our community. However, with the rapid developments in Dental Technology, Dental Curriculum, and its teaching strategies there is a constant need for up gradation to meet the emerging challenges.

At ZDC, we strive to ensure a seamless transition from the pre-clinical years to real-life patient care. One of the tools we have incorporated in our curriculum is the use of virtual dental simulators for the first time ever in Pakistan.

These virtual simulators provide an interactive and immersive learning experience for our students, allowing them to practice internationally accredited exercises of various dental procedures in a realistic virtual environment.

We have an excellent blend of foreign and locally trained postgraduate faculty. Also, the Postgraduate programmes offered at ZCD are in great demand across the country and fully recognized by Higher Education Commission (HEC) & Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC).

Moreover, we have a vibrant community of alumni spread across the country and abroad.

I hope the years you spend at ZCD will be productive and memorable.
