All provincial dental regulators require that graduates of non-accredited dental programs hold and NDEB Certificate prior to issuing a license. A graduate of a non-accredited dental program can obtain an NDEB Certificate by completing one of the following: the NDEB Equivalency Process, an accredited degree completion program, an accredited bridge training program. Each is followed by successful completion of the national certification examination.<\/p>\n<p>This process is designed to ensure that, before being licensed, each dentist has met the minimum standard of competence for dentists in Canada.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; el_class=&#8221;sky-blue-box&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1681753872605{padding-top: 40px !important;padding-right: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;padding-left: 40px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1681752803485{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;border-radius: 35px !important;}&#8221;]Non-accredited dental program: A dental program that issues a BDS\/DDS\/DMD degree that is located outside of Canada and has not been recognized by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of Canada.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_separator type=&#8221;normal&#8221; color=&#8221;#e36c09&#8243;][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>What you should know about dental education in Canada<\/h3>\n<p>The NDEB certification examination is a requirement for anyone who wants to obtain a dental license in Canada including those who have graduated from Canadian dental programs.<\/p>\n<p>The examination tests the knowledge, skills and abilities expected of a beginning dental practitioner in Canada.

There is no single answer to this question.<\/p>\n<p>Credential verification time can vary depending on the number of new applications received each year. Verification time is also dependent on the applicant submitting the required documents correctly. The NDEB has strict document requirements and will not make exceptions to those requirements.
