Time Involved

Efficient Application
NIFDE wants you to treat more patients, not take time away from treating them.

The NIFDE Certification Process was designed to respect the time restraints and pressures of practicing dentistry. The NIFDE Certification Process is straightforward and easy to follow.

Review and Decision Time
Upon receipt of your application by the NIFDE Review Panel, the average decision will likely be rendered within two to three weeks.

Depending upon the NIFDE Review Panel’s analysis of your application, additional office correspondence, usually in the form of a phone call by a member of the NIFDE Review Panel may be required, but is not always necessary.
