Dentistry route for Canadians

Why students compare it

Canadian dentistry is expensive and highly competitive.

For Canadian citizens, Romania should be compared against the full Canadian path: undergraduate preparation, competitive dental school admission, professional tuition, and living costs. UMF Craiova lists Dental Medicine in English at €6,500 per year for 2026/2027, but fees can change annually.

The future licensing path still matters. A Romanian dental degree is not a guaranteed Canadian dental licence.
