The Eastman Dental Hospital was based on Gray's Inn Road until it co-located with the University College London ear, nose, throat, balance and hearing services on Huntley Street, London, as the Royal National ENT and Eastman Dental Hospitals in October 2019. The hospital continues to provide specialist dental treatment as well as ear, nose, throat, hearing, speech and balance services and is part of the University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.[1][2]
The dental hospital is closely associated with University College London (UCL), and has a partnership with the UCL Eastman Dental Institute, which has stayed at the Gray's Inn Road site. It is a major centre for dental research and the largest provider of postgraduate teaching and training in dentistry in Europe.[1][3] In 2009, there were more than 22,000 orthodontic appointments at the hospital, making its orthodontic department one of the largest in the UK.[1] The hospital is part of both the UCLH/UCL Biomedical Research Centre and the UCL Partners academic health science centre.[4][5]
