The faculty has its seat on Marcelo T. de Alvear 2142, in the central Buenos Aires neighborhood of Recoleta.

Dentistry at the University of Buenos Aires was historically taught at the Faculty of Medical Sciences.

[2] It wasn't until 1947, at the behest of dentist and politician Ricardo Guardo that the Faculty of Dentistry was created, following the passing of a special law (Ley 13.031) in the National Congress of Argentina mandating the separation of the dentistry department of the Faculty of Medicine.

[3] In 2017, the faculty inaugurated an imaging center for its Hospital Odontológico, aimed at serving the over 1000 patients who receive free treatment on a daily basis.

The faculty is headed by a Dean (Spanish: decano or decana), who presides over the Directive Council (Consejo Directivo).
