As of 2011, FOUBA counted with 2,046 enrolled graduate students, making it the smallest faculty at UBA. The faculty offers only two graduate courses, on dentistry and a technician's degree on dental assistance, as well as a number of specializations, magister degrees and doctoral degrees. In addition, the faculty operates the university's Hospital Odontológico, a dentistry teaching hospital that offers diverse services free of charge.
The faculty has its seat on Marcelo T. de Alvear 2142, in the central Buenos Aires neighborhood of Recoleta. It is near other UBA faculties and facilities, such as the Faculty of Medicine, the Faculty of Pharmacy and Biochemistry, the Faculty of Economic Sciences, and the Hospital de Clínicas, among others.
