Dentist Application Phases and Timeline
|
Phase I
Current Timeframe:
1 week
|
Phase I is the estimated time between receipt of a complete online application and the Board's initial review of the application and supplemental documentation. At the conclusion of Phase I, the Board will send you instructions to complete your fingerprints for the background check and advise you of any application deficiencies.
|
Phase II
Current Timeframe:
3-5 weeks |
Phase II is the estimated time between Phase I and the receipt of your background check results, successful completion of the jurisprudence exam, national exam and clinical exam, and any remaining application deficiencies. Background check results are provided to the Board by our vendor on average 1-3 weeks from the date of your fingerprint appointment. Applications with criminal history or requiring additional review may add additional time to Phase II. Please note Phase II is contingent on applicant action and third party processing times. The estimated timeframe assumes the applicant takes immediate action when notified of application deficiencies.

Phase III
Current Timeframe:
1 week
|
Phase III is the estimated time between Phase II and when the application is approved. To verify the status of your registration and to view your registration number, please visit our
