Overseas registration exam
The ORE is an exam that overseas qualified dentists have to pass in order to register with the GDC. Registration allows dentists to practice dentistry unsupervised in the UK.
The official links in a sequential manner:
- Check if your dental degree is RECOGNISED or UNRECOGNISED.
- If your degree is RECOGNISED then follow the steps at this official link.
- If your degree is UNRECOGNISED then check if you fall under the Exempt Category.
- If you fall under Exempt Category then follow the steps mentioned at this official link.
- Point to note: In the event, you can demonstrate exempt person status, this does not lead to automatic registration and does not “exempt” you from the ORE. It gives you the option of applying under the route of an individual assessment in addition to applying for the ORE.
