The Arizona State Board of Dental Examiners presents this information as a service to the public...
Online License Renewal
ONLINE RENEWAL 2021
The Executive Order issued by Governor Ducey on March 26, 2020, has expired. Therefore, all dental examiner licenses that expire June 30, 2021 will be due on or before June 30, 2021. That being said, all continuing education ("CE") requirements can still be satisfied via virtual/online courses, and of course in-person CE. Lastly, the renewal fee holiday has also expired. However, and based on the Board's healthy fund balance, the Board voted on April 2, 2021 to reduce all licensees' renewal fees by 60%! Therefore, the fees for the renewal cycles through December 31, 2023 will be $204 for dentists, $102 for hygienists and $93.20 for denturists. The appropriate fee, including any late fee, regarding your license renewal must be collected in order to renew your dental license.
Board staff will be holding three ad hoc, informational meetings to answer any questions you may have that pertain to your renewal. These meetings will be very informal with no real agenda other than to answer your questions and will be held virtually. So, please feel free to pop in and out of these hour long meetings to get your questions answered. Following are the dates/times of these meetings:
- Monday, April 19 – 2:00 p.m. meet.google.com/uug-iwpo-hto;
- Wednesday, May 12 – 2:00 p.m. meet.google.com/uwz-jdck-kmm; and
- Wednesday, June 2 – 2:00 p.m. meet.google.com/qjf-mkhe-kqx.
Again, this year, you will not be receiving a renewal application through regular US mail; the application is available online. Please type your respective responses for each question or make the appropriate selection(s). Once complete, including your online payment, please sign the application in the 
e-signature block, add your email and then click the button at the bottom-right of your screen that reads “Click to Sign”,
as pictured to the left. You will not be able to click the aforementioned button unless you complete the minimum required fields. “The count” of required fields appears in the top right-hand corner of the renewal application, as pictured in the picture to the right. After clicking the “Click to Sign” button, you will receive the message below. If you do not receive the message below, then the Board did not receive your completed application. Within five (5) minutes, you will also receive an emailed copy of your completed application.

PAPER RENEWALS
The renewal application will no longer be provided to you to complete and return to the Board's office. This year, postcards are being delivered to your primary address of record to remind you of your impending renewal. Please feel free to proceed to complete your renewal whether or not you received the postcard.
CONTINUING EDUCATION AFFIDAVITS
On your respective renewal application, please select one of the boxes regarding your continuing education (“CE”) and proceed to complete the CE affidavit.
If this is your first time renewing (initial license issuance date was between 7/1/2020 and 6/30/2021), please check the box indicating that this is your first renewal, and therefore, no CE affidavit is required.
Please complete the continuing education ("CE") affidavit that pertains to your license classification. If you are not in compliance with your respective CE requirement, a written request, for an extension, must accompany your renewal application in lieu of the respective affidavit and must be received on or before June 30. Please follow the below DOs and DON'Ts of continuing education:
DO - Review the Board's rules or your respective affidavit on your CE requirements;
DO - Claim only the credit hours taken July 1, 2018 - June 30, 2021;
DO - Enter the number of hours completed for each category on your affidavit. Please note: MOST categories have minimums, FEW, IF ANY, have maximums; and
DO - NOT APPLICABLE THIS RENEWAL SEASON (6/30/2021 expiration date). Pay special attention to the self-study section of your affidavit and enter the number of self-study hours completed even if the number is zero (0). Self-study is defined in the Board's rules under AAC R4-11-1209 (page 22 of the link).
DON'T - NOT APPLICABLE THIS RENEWAL SEASON (6/30/2021 expiration date). Claim more hours of self-study than allowed on your affidavit, which has already been tailored to the allowable limit;
DON'T - Throw away your documentation of attendance. The Board's rules require that you maintain your documentation for the most recently completed renewal period; and
DON'T - Wait until the last minute to request an extension for your CE requirements. Your extension request must be submitted along with your license renewal and must be postmarked on or before June 30.
