INBDE now costs from $1,325 for foreign-trained dentists

The JCNDE reissued its 2026 INBDE Candidate Guide on 4 August 2026. The examination fee is $890, plus a $435 processing fee for candidates from programs not accredited by CODA — $1,325 in total for an internationally trained dentist. Until 9 October 2026, when the standalone DLOSCE ends, an INBDE + DLOSCE bundle costs $1,080, $470 less than buying both separately; the non-CODA surcharge applies on top. Additional results reports are $55 each and a results audit is $105.

Rescheduling through Prometric costs $50 at 30+ business days out, $70 at 5–29 days and $150 at 1–4 days; a no-show forfeits the full fee. All non-CODA graduates must have their degree confirmed through Educational Credential Evaluators. The retest rules are unchanged: five years and five attempts, at least 60 days between failed attempts, and no more than four attempts in any 12 months.
