The Application Process for Dentists

The General Dental Council will asses the details you have entered on this form and send an application pack with all the relevant forms within it.
3. Complete and return these forms.
4. The GDC will notify you when you have been registered.
5. The final step is for us to secure a Work Permit for you in the UK. Once you have secured employment in a UK institution, we will finalise your work permit with that employer. At this point our Permit fee becomes due. This is £450. Please note that, if your new employer or employer's representative engages our services for your work permit application, this fee will be due from them and not you.
Please note that, under recent regulations, your employer will need all those graduating after 2001 to take the International Proficiency Test. Those graduating before 2001 are not obliged to do this.
An English Language proficiency Test [ IELTS Level 7 ] may also be requested by your employer.
