Dentalcorp and Université Laval Launch $1 Million Fund for Dental Education

TORONTO–Dentalcorp, one of North America’s largest dental support organizations, and The Faculty of Dental Medicine at Université Laval, today announced a $1 million philanthropic partnership to create the Dentalcorp Fund for Excellence and Innovation in Dental Education.

The commitment, to be distributed over several years, will support student scholarships, advance clinical training and strengthen the connection between academic programs and the communities they serve. “We built Dentalcorp by partnering with dentists who want more from their careers. That conviction starts well before graduation. This fund allows us to support student success through scholarships, clinical training and educational initiatives at one of the country’s leading dental faculties. Université Laval has earned its reputation for producing outstanding clinicians, and we are proud to support the next generation of dental professionals in Quebec,” said Nate Tchaplia, President of Dentalcorp.

The fund supports two named scholarships awarded annually to students who demonstrate academic distinction, leadership and a commitment to advancing the profession: the Dentalcorp Future Leaders in Dentistry Scholarship and the Dentalcorp Clinical Excellence and Innovation Scholarship. The partnership also includes the designation of the Dentalcorp Simulation Laboratory, a clinical training facility within the Faculty where students develop hands-on skills in a controlled environment before entering practice.

“Like other Canadian dental schools, we are building a constructive partnership with Dentalcorp founded on trust and focused on the future. This collaboration reflects recognition of the quality of our teaching, research, and contribution to the advancement of the profession. Through Dentalcorp’s philanthropic commitment, we will be able to support student excellence while also advancing impactful initiatives that contribute to our mission and help develop the next generation of dental professionals,” said Pierre-Éric Landry, Dean of the Faculty of Dental Medicine at Université Laval.

Through the partnership, Dentalcorp will participate in the Faculty’s annual Career Day and Scientific Day. These occasions will foster meaningful exchanges between students and professionals in the dental field.

Dentalcorp’s network in Quebec includes practices led by clinicians trained at the country’s leading dental faculties, including Université Laval. This investment extends that relationship to the earliest stages of a clinician’s development, ensuring the next generation of dental professionals in Quebec have the support they need to thrive.
