DOH Prosthodontics

Before subscribing, check that you meet the exam board's eligibility criteria:

• Primary dental degree: A recognized BDS, DDS, or equivalent dental degree from an accredited institution.
• Specialization in Prosthodontics: A recognized postgraduate qualification in Prosthodontics -- MDS, MSc, or equivalent -- from an accredited institution. European degrees specifically need to be full-time, clinical qualifications rather than research-based degrees.
• Post-specialization clinical experience: Non-UAE-national applicants generally need a minimum of 3 years of clinical experience in prosthodontics after completing their specialization.
• Valid license & Good Standing Certificate: An active license to practice in your home country (or country of last employment), plus a Certificate of Good Standing typically valid within the last 6 months.
• DataFlow Primary Source Verification: All educational, professional, and licensing documents must be verified through DataFlow, with a positive PSV report, before your license application proceeds. Our DOH credentialing process guide walks through this step in detail.

DOH evaluates exemption from the written exam on a case-by-case basis for holders of certain high-level professional certifications, including US board certification, UK CCT, Canadian Royal College fellowship, and Australian/New Zealand fellowship. Published DOH exemption guidance does not specifically name a dental fellowship or board (such as FDSRCS or an American Board of Dental Specialties certification) as automatically qualifying under this route for Prosthodontics -- unlike some other Gulf authorities' dentist-specific exemption lists. If you hold one of the certifications above, or a dental-specific fellowship you believe may qualify, confirm your exemption status directly with DOH or through a DataFlow/licensing consultant before assuming it applies. See our DOH specialist exam exemption criteria guide for the general (non-dental-specific) list of qualifying certifications.
