For Dentists/Specialists from programs outside Canada

The practice of dentistry is regulated in Canada. In order to practise the profession or use the title of dentist or dental surgeon, you must be licensed as a member with one of the provincial/territorial regulatory bodies. These bodies set the standards for entry into the profession of dentistry and for issuing licences to those who meet the established standards of qualifications and practice. Many jurisdictions require successful completion of the National Dental Specialty Examination for licensure as a Specialist. This examination is currently administered by the Royal College of Dentists of Canada (RCDC).

All provincial and territorial regulatory bodies recognize the certificate of the National Dental Examining Board of Canada (NDEB). For more information on the NDEB exam and certificate, you may contact:

National Dental Examining Board of Canada (NDEB)

100 Bronson Ave, Suite 203

Ottawa ON   K1R 6G8   Canada

Phone : 613-236-5912

Fax : 613-236-8386

Email : director@ndeb.ca

In order to write the NDEB exam, an individual must be a graduate of an accredited program in either Canada or the United States of America (USA). Currently reciprocal agreements do not exist with other countries. Graduates of dental programs outside of North America must take a two-year qualifying program.

Once you know where you will settle and work, you should contact the appropriate regulatory body for information on licensing procedures.
