Dentovio public answer
foreign-trained dentist license in New Jersey
In New Jersey, a foreign-trained dentist generally requires a CODA-accredited DDS/DMD or advanced-standing pathway; no residency-only route was found in the cited sources. Advanced-standing CODA DDS/DMD only. Graduates of dental programs outside the U.S./Canada (non-CODA) must complete two years of additional training in a CODA-approved program and receive a D.D.S. or D.M.D. degree. There is no CODA-residency-alone (GPR/AEGD) pathway to full general licensure — a residency does not replace the advanced-standing dental degree. Exam signal: National Board Dental Examination Parts I and II (now iNBDE for those who did not complete NBDE) plus a Board-accepted clinical exam. Confirm current requirements directly with New Jersey State Board of Dentistry (Division of Consumer Affairs).
