Dienstleistungsbeschreibung
Apply for recognition of foreign professional qualifications (third country/ Non-EU Country) as a dental specialist
The profession of specialist dentist is regulated in Germany. This means: You need a permit if you want to use the designation "Fachzahnärztin" or "Fachzahnarzt" for your specialization in the federal state you have chosen.
With the training as a specialist dentist, you have acquired a medical specialization for your qualification as a dentist abroad. To work as a dentist in Germany, you first need a license to practice medicine or a professional license. In order to be able to work as a specialist dentist in Germany, you must also apply for recognition of your further training as a specialist dentist. This allows you to use the designation "Fachzahnärztin" or "Fachzahnarzt" in your respective specialization.
Note: You may only use the designation for your specialization if there is a corresponding further training designation in Germany.
Procedure:
1. You submit your application and the required documents to the Berlin Dental Association (Zahnärztekammer Berlin). You may be asked to submit missing documents.
2. The competent authority checks whether your professional qualification is equivalent. The professional qualification is equivalent if there are no significant differences between your foreign professional qualification and the German professional qualification.
3.1. If your qualification is recognised, you can work in the profession in Germany. You will receive a notification.
3.2. If deficits in the knowledge and the special areas of law for dentists are determined, the equivalence of your qualifications will not be certified. You will receive notification of the differences in your professional qualifications.
You can then take a knowledge test to determine equivalence. If you successfully complete the exam, you will be granted permission to use the specialist designation "Fachzahnärztin" or "Fachzahnarzt" for your specialization.
4. You can take legal action against the decision of the competent authority within one month (e.g. file an objection). We recommend that you first speak to the competent authority before taking legal action against the decision.
