The Dental Hospital opened in its new building in Chambers Street in 1927. The origins of the hospital were laid in 1860 with the opening of the Edinburgh Dental Dispensary at No.1, Drummond Street. The dispensary subsequently moved to Cockburn Street and in 1873 the first dental hospital and school was established which was incorporated in 1892. In 1894 it moved again to premises in Chambers Street, purchasing the adjacent building in 1903. At this stage plans were drawn up for an extension to be built between the buildings and the pavement.In 1925 work began on the new purpose?built hospital.
It moved from Chambers Street in 1997 to Lauriston Buildings on Lauriston Place.
