# Arizona dental license requirements

Answer: For dentist license requirements in Arizona, Dentovio's sourced licensure record highlights education/pathway language, exam signals, and any residency, endorsement, reciprocity, or credentialing notes it could isolate. Education/pathway signal: Advanced-standing CODA DDS/DMD only. A.R.S. § 32-1232 requires a diploma (DDS/DMD) from a 'recognized dental school,' and A.R.S. § 32-1201 defines 'recognized dental school' as one accredited by the ADA Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA). Exam signal: Written: national board examinations (iNBDE, which replaced NBDE Parts I & II). Clinical: a state/regional clinical exam accepted by the board — ADEX, CDCA-WREB-CITA, DLOSCE, or CRDTS+SRTA — passed within 5 years preceding application. Confirm current requirements, application forms, score windows, endorsement eligibility, and foreign-trained exceptions with Arizona State Board of Dental Examiners.
