Dental programs by pathway

Initial qualifications, advanced standing, postgraduate and research programs are kept apart: they lead to different things and are never mixed in one list.

Initial Dental Qualifications
Programs that prepare applicants for the dentist pathway: DDS, DMD, BDS, BChD and nationally appropriate equivalents.
1,312 programs at 1,296 schools listed so far
Advanced Standing for Internationally Educated Dentists
Programs that admit applicants who already hold a dental qualification, often a degree earned in another country.
29 programs at 29 schools listed so far
Postgraduate Specialties
Verified specialist, clinical and academic programs taken after an initial dental degree.
145 programs at 44 schools listed so far
Research Degrees
Relevant master's and PhD research programs in dental and oral sciences.
20 programs at 15 schools listed so far

Postgraduate specialties

Specialties with at least one verified program. Whether a program leads to specialist registration depends on the country; check the licensing body.

Compare dental programs

Put up to four programs side by side: qualification, entry route, language, duration, admissions, tuition and instrument or laboratory fees in their original currency, clinical training arrangements and recognition records — each with its source and date. Your shortlist stays in your browser; no account needed.

Recognition and accreditation, explained

National authorization, institutional accreditation, dental-program accreditation and directory listings are separate records with their own authority, scope and date. A listing in this directory is not accreditation, and no badge tells you whether a degree will let you practise where you want to. How we record recognition.

Understand dental qualifications

DDS, DMD, BDS, BChD and national degrees mean different things in different systems.

Admissions and tuition guides

Entry routes, international admissions and how to compare costs honestly.

Recognition and accreditation guides

National authorization, accreditation and directory listings are different things.

Admissions and tuition

How admission to dentistry differs between countries, and how we record tuition, instrument kits and laboratory fees without mixing bases or currencies.

How the directory is researched

verified schools: 1,296
countries and territories with a verified school: 120
of 249 areas researched so far: 249
detailed program records: 19

We research country by country, starting from official discovery sources — dental regulators, ministries, accreditors and national admission portals — then confirm each school's identity, campus, operating status and initial dental qualification on an official source. Every published fact carries its source and verification date.

Commercial interest plays no part in which countries are researched, in what order, or how schools are listed. Listings are free, alphabetical and never ranked.
