Becoming a Diplomate

Board Certification by ABOMS requires successful completion of the Qualifying Examination and Oral Certifying Examinations. Once certified by ABOMS, a Candidate officially becomes an ABOMS Diplomate and must participate in Certification Maintenance.

Annual Registration

The American Dental Association, Council on Dental Education and Licensure requires that all recognized dental specialty certifying boards maintain a yearly registration of Diplomates. Registration is a mechanism to gather data on practice activities, addresses, further credentialing designations, and licensure. The registration fee is determined by the Board of Directors. Completion of Annual Registration entitles Diplomates to receive all publications and other services provided by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (ABOMS).
