How Can I Choose a Dental Practice?

include items like “I want a practice that takes my dental insurance” or “I want a practice with
hours that work with my schedule.” Then you can look online for practices and see which ones fit your
specified criteria. If you want to learn more about a particular practice, you can check their online reviews or

What Level of Education is Required to Be a Dentist?
Aspiring dentists in Canada need to complete an undergraduate bachelor’s degree. They then need to enroll in
a dentistry school, which commonly requires completing a Dental Aptitude Test (DAT). Completing dentistry school
takes four years; combined with the four years needed to obtain a bachelor’s degree, that means a total of
eight years of schooling are needed to become a dentist. An additional two or three years may be required for
anyone who wishes to specialize in a particular field of dentistry.
