Vermont Dental License Renewal
Updated August 2026
Quick Answer
Vermont dentists must renew their licenses through Vermont Board of Dental Examiners (Office of Professional Regulation) on a biennial basis under state dental practice law, submitting a $655.00 renewal fee to maintain active licensure. Renewal requires completing 30 hours of continuing education every 2 years and staying in compliance with board requirements to remain in good standing.

Vermont dental licenses run on a fixed 2-year renewal cycle — unlike a birthday-based cycle, every license in a given profession expires on the same statewide date. For the Dental profession, that date is September 30 of odd-numbered years. Renewal applications open six weeks before expiration and are submitted through the OPR Online Services portal.
| License type | Application fee | Renewal fee |
|---|---|---|
| Dentist | $285.00 | $655.00 |
| Dental Hygienist | $200.00 | $245.00 |
| Dental Therapist | $215.00 | $310.00 |
| Registered Certified Dental Assistant (with Radiology Privileges) | $80.00 + $100.00 specialty fee | $105.00 |
| Registered Traditional Dental Assistant | $80.00 | $105.00 |
All application and renewal fees are non-refundable. Under OPR's 90-Day Initial Licensing Policy, an initial license issued 90 days or less before the profession's renewal date is granted through the next full 2-year period at no extra charge; one issued 91 or more days before the renewal date must renew at the upcoming cycle like any other license.
