What is the NDEB Canada?
The NDEB Canada or the National Dental Examining Board of Canada, is the national body responsible for certifying dentists throughout Canada. It ensures that all licensed dentists meet the standards set so that they may practice safely and efficiently in Canada.
NDEB Canada Certification Process
Once you have finished the Equivalency Process (or graduated from a Canadian dental school), the next thing to do is:
Written NDEB Canada Exam
Two components—multiple-choice and case-based questions.
OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination)
This assesses practical knowledge and clinical reasoning.
NBDE Exam Canada—Do You Need It?
The NBDE (National Board Dental Examination) is a test utilized in the USA. It’s not utilized for dental licensing in Canada. You have to take the NDEB Canada pathway to practice dentistry here.

It may look long to become a licensed dentist in Canada, but with proper preparation, it is entirely possible. The NDEB Canada process guarantees that all dentists going into practice are qualified and competent, allowing you to feel confident about your future career. If you need more assistance contact us!
