Dental Hygienist and Therapist Registration in the UK: Support for Overseas Professionals

Are you an Overseas Qualified Dental Care Professional looking to register with the General Dental Council (GDC) in the United Kingdom? Whether you’re planning a career move to the UK or looking to broaden your professional experience internationally, Phoenix Dental Academy is here to guide and support you every step of the way.

We understand that the process of registering as a Dental Hygienist, Dental Therapist, Orthodontic Therapist, Dental Technician, or Dental Nurse with an overseas qualification can be complex and time-consuming. That’s where we come in. Our expert partner team is made up of experienced consultants who specialize in helping professionals like you navigate the GDC registration process with ease and confidence.

Why Choose Phoenix Dental Academy?

At Phoenix Dental Academy, our mission is simple: we aim to help you submit a complete, accurate, and professional application to the General Dental Council. Our dedicated team ensures that your registration is “Application Ready,” giving you the best chance of success without unnecessary delays or refusals.

We offer a personalized service tailored to your unique background and qualifications. Whether you are just beginning your registration journey or have already applied and been refused, we are here to help. We pride ourselves on delivering high-quality, friendly support designed specifically for Overseas Qualified Dental Care Professionals.

Who Can Apply?

You may be eligible to apply for GDC registration if:

  • You hold a Dental Care Professional (DCP) qualification awarded outside of the United Kingdom.

  • You can provide evidence of your professional experience as a Dental Care Professional.

  • You meet the GDC’s requirements for good health, good character, and English language proficiency.

If you are unsure about your eligibility, don’t worry—we’ll assess your documents and provide honest, expert guidance on your options.

How We Help

Our role is to support you throughout the registration process from start to finish. Here’s how we do it:

1. Document Review and Assessment

We carefully check all your documents, including your qualification certificates, proof of experience, professional references, and more. If anything is missing or unclear, we will guide you on how to obtain the correct information.

2. Translation and Certification

All documents submitted to the GDC must be certified and, if not in English, officially translated. We ensure your paperwork meets GDC standards and is correctly prepared.

3. Application Preparation

We help you complete the application form and compile all supporting evidence in the exact format required by the GDC. Your application will be “Application Ready”—professionally presented and fully compliant with GDC expectations.

4. Support After Refusal

Already applied but received a refusal from the GDC? We can help. Many overseas dentists and DCPs are unsuccessful on their first attempt, often due to minor errors or missing documentation. Our experts will review your application, identify any issues, and advise you on how to strengthen your resubmission.

5. Ongoing Support

Throughout the process, our team is just a phone call or email away. We’ll keep you updated and answer any questions you have so you never feel left in the dark.
