Peking University School of Stomatology was established in 1941. It began as the dental clinics of the medical college and eventually evolved into the institution as it is today, a unique combination of teaching, clinical service, research, and preventive oral care. It encompasses not only the School itself but also a renowned hospital and research institute.

Currently, the Hospital of Stomatology is composed of 15 clinical departments, 8 technical laboratories, and 5 subsidiary clinical-service departments. There are about 2,641 full-time employees, more than 632 dental units for daily clinical service, and 157 ward beds.

On average, the School sees almost 7,722 in-hospital patients annually, while the outpatient and emergency departments serve an additional 1.76 million.

Peking University School of Stomatology is an institution authorized to run the State-level Priority Program for Stomatology and build all disciplines into what can be rated as nationally best and internationally renowned. The school was rated as "A+" in the National Discipline Assessment.
