I have just recently finished with my internship program and i hold a bachelor's degree in dentistry from an Indian university{india}.I wish to know what I would need to do to continue in U.S.I know I will have to write exams but can I clear them and practice or I have to compulsorily study for a time.And if so do the no. of years depend on my score or the university decides it?..I have a good academic record with some rank certificates.Will that help in any case?How can i start working at the earliest after i reach there?I have heard of board exams with 3 attempts.And i can't join in any university alloted on application or random as i will be in one place.Take for example California...I Don't have much idea and i would be extremely thankful for some genuine help and answers.How can i make it all as easy as possible?I know its a hard way but im ready to go through.WAITING IN ANTICIPATION FOR SOME GOOD HELP.And i might go after a few months of job experience in the MIDDLE EAST.

Take the National Boards Exams I and II. After that, CA requires you to pass the Restorative Technique exam.
You really need to look up the website of each state's Dental Board to see what their requirements are.

To practice dentistry in the US, you need to go to dental school. A bachelors degree usually isn't enough to become a practicing dentist in the US. Board exams are taken after dental school in order to be admitted to practice and receive a license. If you have a good academic record, being admitted to a program would become easier. Your best bet for finding schools would be to google "dental school". You will get the name of lots of schools. Good Luck!
