Hands-on preparation for dental Bench tests and CITA ADEX confidence.

Internationally trained dentists seeking U.S. licensure must first complete an approved U.S.-based dental education pathway. Depending on individual goals, this may include an advanced-standing DDS/DMD program, a CODA-accredited specialty program, or another accepted educational route. Admission is highly competitive, with strong emphasis on hands-on assessments, bench examinations, and demonstrated clinical competency.
