Polish Dentists » education of Polish dentists

In order to become a dentist in Poland a five-year long dentistry course needs to be successfully accomplished in one of the Medical Universities. There are 35,000 registered Dentists in Poland. Every year nearly 1000 graduates begin a 12 month long post-graduate work experience (apprenticeship) programme which is a next step to become a Dentist. During these 12 months, the apprentice’s work is supervised by experienced Dentists. The Dentist-apprentice is not allowed to carry out treatments on his own and more responsibility is given to him / her with time. The Dentist-apprentice is also not allowed to issue prescriptions nor to give official treatment plans at any time during his / her work-experience. At the end of the work experience the apprentice needs to successfully pass a mandatory exam (Lekarsko Dentystyczny Egzamin Panstwowy – LDEP) in which case the apprentice becomes a Dentist. The title is awarded by the Minister of Health. The work experience is usually carried out in hospitals and NHS dental clinics

General Dentists can specialise further in a chosen dentistry field (i.e. implantology, radiology etc) but a good or very good mark from LDEP exam is necessary. After completion of the additional, 2-year long, full time course Dentists are required to pass an exam in order to become Dentists specialists. The accrediting body is again the Ministry of Health.

There are cosmetic dentistry abroad and general dentistry articles on our website, including tips on how to search for a dentist abroad (“Mini dental guide on dentistry abroad”) or education process when training to become a dentist in Poland (“Education of Polish dentists”). We have created an online consultation section where patients can fill in their details and tell us about their problem so we can respond with the likely treatment plan and costing. Patients can also submit their dental X rays in their online form. We are able to provide cheap dental treatments only because Poland is a low-economy country where prices for services, including dentistry, are much lower than in the UK and other Western European countries.
