How are Dentists licensed?
Licensed Dentists in Oakland have generally completed 3 or more years of undergraduate education plus 4 years of dental school and have passed the National Board Dental Exams. State licensing boards then require professionals to pass state licensing exams in order to practice in general dentistry. Additional post-graduate training is required to become a Oakland dental specialist, such as an orthodontist, periodontist or oral and maxillofacial surgeon. (Source: American Dental Association).
