In 1896 the College of Physicians and Surgeons of San Francisco was incorporated as an educational institution with departments of medicine, dentistry and pharmacy. The first class in dentistry graduated in 1897. Medicine and pharmacy were discontinued in 1918 and the college operated solely as a dental school. In 1962 "P & S" amalgamated with the University of the Pacific, becoming the University's School of Dentistry located in the prestigious Pacific Heights district of San Francisco. Since 1897 more than 5,000 graduates have entered the dental profession from this institution. In 2004 the school was named the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry by the University's Board of Regents. In July 2006 President DeRosa appointed Dr. Patrick J. Ferrillo, Jr. to the deanship.

The school has a long history of teaching excellence in the clinical sciences and in commitment to student learning. The comprehensive patient care program is based on the concept of private dental practice where the student assumes responsibility for assigned patients' treatment, consultation and referral for specialty care under direction of multidisciplinary faculty. Extramural clinics located in Union City and Stockton provide advanced students with opportunities to work in an environment that resembles private practice.

The Division of International Dental Studies provides a program in which foreign dental graduates earn the United States dental degree. The IDS program, initiated in 1987, has allowed its graduates to continue their education in dental specialties or return to practice their profession in their homelands.

An Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) program, started in 1990, provides a year-long educational program at two sites. A certificate program in oral and maxillofacial surgery was begun in 2001 and a baccalaureate degree program in dental hygiene was initiated in 2002.
