Getting Started

You know you want to become a dentist in the US. So how and where do you get started? At the very beginning, of course, commencing from getting your dental college transcripts evaluated and all the way to taking those qualifier examinations. Here are our comprehensive guides to each of these checkpoints.

ECE

Why should I get my degrees evaluated? Which of the two evaluators should I choose – ECE or WES? Should my Canadian degree be evaluated? Find answers to such common confusions, and many more, all in one place – read our blogs, watch our videos, and listen to our webinars.

INBDE

Frankly, this is where it all actually begins. Where you get a taste of the American grading systems, exam patterns, evaluation methods. Right from a test-taker’s prep guide to her nerves before the results were announced, understand and be prepared for what INBDE entails.

ADAT

The million-dollar question! Er, not really – a few-hundred-dollar question – from debating on the necessity of taking ADAT, to tips for your test day, get all answers at your fingertips, through a single click.

CASPER
