Requirements for the NDEB Certification
An NDEB certificate is issued upon successful completion of the Virtual OSCE certification exam, and after proof of graduation is provided to the NDEB office.
Canadian dental programs must provide confirmation of graduation directly to the NDEB office to be certified by the NDEB and graduates of accredited dental programs in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland must request an original official transcript of marks to be sent directly to the NDEB in a sealed envelope. Individuals who have completed the NDEB Equivalency Process are not required to provide proof of graduation to be certified as it was already provided when applying for the Equivalency Process.
Certificates are issued and mailed to candidates at the address listed on their profile within 1 to 2 weeks. We recommend candidates to keep the address on their profile updated.
Once certified, contact the Dental Regulatory Authority (DRA) in the province you wish to practice. You can find more information on the How to become a dentist in Canada page of our web site.
