A student spends five years completing undergraduate training at a university dental school. When the final examinations are completed, the students are awarded a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) which then allows them to enrol onto the dentist register with the General Dental Council (GDC). The register is held by the GDC and contains the dentist's full name, GDC number, and qualifications; the register is made public so patients can access these details.

Dentists that are registered have many opportunities to progress in the profession depending on their interests. Some of the options they have depending on location are:

 general practice, either NHS or private

 community dental services

 educational services

 armed forces

 hospital services.
