Programme Introduction
About this programme
🎓 Licensing Exam Prep
✅ Exam-Focused
📊 Structured Practice
The Singapore Dental Council (SDC) Examination is a professional licensing assessment pathway for overseas-trained dental graduates who wish to practise dentistry in Singapore.
The examination evaluates a candidate’s clinical knowledge, diagnostic reasoning, practical competency, and professional conduct according to Singapore’s dental practice standards, and passing it is a required step for overseas dentists seeking SDC registration. Because the assessment draws on both foundational sciences and applied clinical judgement, candidates benefit from structured, exam-focused preparation rather than general review alone.
TerraLeap’s SDC Examination Preparation Programme covers dental sciences, clinical reasoning, and the professional and ethical standards expected of dentists practising in Singapore, delivered through structured content review and exam-style practice questions.
On completion, learners have reviewed core dental science content, practised applied clinical reasoning under exam-like conditions, and built the confidence needed to sit the SDC assessment.
Structured exam preparation — built to turn practice into a passing score.
