The Cost of Delays in The Irish Dental Council Registration

If the Irish Dental Council rejects your application due to incorrect documentation or errors, you could face:

• Up to 9 months delay on your registration to be approved.
• Missed job opportunities, even returning to your own country, due to unnecessary delays.
• No legal right to work during the waiting period in your field of expertise.
• Potential loss of €36,000–€54,000+ in earnings (based on average dentist salary in Ireland with a delay of 6-9 months).

Our Service

• We assess your application based on your country of qualification and application type.
• Thorough pre-check of all documents to ensure they meet IDC’s exact requirements. We know all the common mistakes made and minor errors that can result in your application being sent back to you and resulting in long delays.
• Guidance on certification & translation
• Form-filling support to help you complete every section of the IDC application correctly.
• Secure postal submission — we post your full application to the IDC using registered post on your behalf.
• Ongoing support until your application is confirmed and received. IDC will only liase with the applicant post submission of the application form. However, Dr. Creedon will stay in touch every 4 weeks to check where you are in the process.

The Benefit to You

• Your documentation will be in order by submission to the Irish Dental Council.

• Be employment-ready in 12 weeks (Pending a successful 4–6 week review by the IDC).

• Ongoing support until your registration is complete.

• You will have the opportunity to inform potential employers that Irish Dental Jobs is managing your IDC registration - giving them confidence that you’ll be ready to begin work within approximately 12 weeks.

• Clarity on timelines.

• No stress, no unnecessary delays - with Irish Dental Jobs handling your application, you can relax knowing your application is accurate, complete and in safe hands.

You must apply directly to Irish Dental Jobs — we cannot assist if you’ve already submitted your application to the Irish Dental Council.
