State licensure requirements
For dentist license requirements in Nevada, 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. NRS 631.230 requires the applicant to be 'a graduate of an accredited dental school or college'; NRS 631.015 defines 'accredited' as approved by CODA. Exam signal: NBDE/iNBDE (written) plus a board-approved clinical examination — ADEX-based (WREB retired Dec 31 2022) per NRS 631.240 — and a written exam on Nevada law (Ch. 631) and board regulations. Confirm current requirements, application forms, score windows, endorsement eligibility, and foreign-trained exceptions with Nevada State Board of Dental Examiners.

Advanced-standing CODA DDS/DMD only. NRS 631.230 requires the applicant to be 'a graduate of an accredited dental school or college'; NRS 631.015 defines 'accredited' as approved by CODA. No statutory pathway for a non-accredited/foreign graduate to gain full licensure via a CODA residency — a foreign grad must earn a CODA-accredited DDS/DMD. (Nevada is also non-reciprocity.)
NBDE/iNBDE (written) plus a board-approved clinical examination — ADEX-based (WREB retired Dec 31 2022) per NRS 631.240 — and a written exam on Nevada law (Ch. 631) and board regulations.
(Nevada is also non-reciprocity.
No residency-only substitute for the required dental degree was isolated in this sourced state record.
Limited licenses (NRS 631.271) and restricted geographical licenses (NRS 631.274) still require CODA-accredited education; the dental-resident/intern limited license is tied to CODA-accredited programs and is not a foreign-grad workaround. Statute still references WREB by name but WREB clinical exams were retired Dec 31 2022; ADEX is the operative clinical exam.
