As the Dean of Sibar Institute of Dental Sciences I am delighted to welcome you to the SIDS website.

SIDS is recognized by the Dental Council of India and the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Govt. of India and is affiliated to Dr. Y.S.R University of Health Sciences, one of the finest universities in Health Care Education. SIDS has been the first choice for graduate and post graduate dental education for aspiring students offering them high quality education and training.

The faculty at SIDS comprises of leaders in the profession, outstanding clinicians, and teachers of national and international repute. Few faculty members are in the executive committees of international and national professional bodies, few are serving as editors of various dental journals and as members of the Board of Studies of the University. Under the tutelage of highly trained and productive teaching faculty, the students acquire a solid foundation in preparation for their future roles as quality oral health care professionals. The knowledge and the skills acquired at SIDS allow the students to diagnose, manage, and prevent various oral health problems while exercising empathy and professionalism all the way.

Situated very near to Guntur city, the college has the benefit of a large pool of patients who seek oral health care at its clinics. Other training opportunities in patient care include scheduled postings to affiliated hospitals and participation in outreach activities. The institution has collaborations with many prestigious national and international institutions.

Since its foundation, SIDS has been committed to excellence in education, patient care, research, and community service. With each incoming class we rededicate ourselves to the achievement of these goals. I look forward to your contribution in our success.
