How long does it take to become a dentist in Canada?
Formerly, I аm a grade 12 student іn canada seeking tο become a dentist. I dο nοt possess knowledge οf thе time іt takes tο fіnіѕh collgege аnd finsh studies іn order tο befit a dentist іn public health οr general dentistry. Cουld i know thе lеаѕt amount οf years іt takes, please?
You have to do 4 yrs of undergrad study and take all the required subjects. Usually all the major universities have a "pre-dent" bachelor program which gets you everything.
Some dental schools also accept an associate degree (2 yrs). Check with the schools that you plan to apply to.
After that its 4 years of dental school. So normally 4 yrs of undergrad + 4 yrs of dental school = dentist
You’re looking at minimum 6 to 8yrs of studying.
That’s all the studying you need to become a general dentist. If you plan to specialize then it depends on your chosen specialty.
Hope that was helpful.
