State licensure requirements
New York dental license requirements
For dentist license requirements in New York, 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 required — a residency does NOT replace dental school. A graduate of an unaccredited/unregistered foreign dental school must complete not less than two academic years of study in a registered/CODA-accredited dental school. Exam signal: National Board Dental Examination Parts I and II / iNBDE (scores sent directly from the Joint Commission on National Dental Examinations) plus a Board-accepted clinical examination (NY accepts ADEX/CDCA). Confirm current requirements, application forms, score windows, endorsement eligibility, and foreign-trained exceptions with New York State Board for Dentistry (NYSED Office of the Professions).

Education and pathway
Advanced-standing CODA DDS/DMD required — a residency does NOT replace dental school. A graduate of an unaccredited/unregistered foreign dental school must complete not less than two academic years of study in a registered/CODA-accredited dental school program (advanced-standing) and earn the DDS/DMD. Note: NY also requires ALL initial licensees (including U.S. grads) to complete an approved dental residency of at least one year, but for foreign grads this 1-year residency is IN ADDITION to the 2-year advanced-standing program, not a substitute for it.
Exam signal
National Board Dental Examination Parts I and II / iNBDE (scores sent directly from the Joint Commission on National Dental Examinations) plus a Board-accepted clinical examination (NY accepts ADEX/CDCA). Plus mandatory 1-year CODA-approved residency and NYS coursework (e.g., child abuse, infection control). WREB retired Dec 31, 2022.
Endorsement or reciprocity
Dentovio did not isolate a licensure-by-endorsement, reciprocity, credentialing, or portability signal in this sourced state record. Verify current out-of-state license options directly with the dental board.
Residency signal
No residency-only substitute for the required dental degree was isolated in this sourced state record.
