RENEWAL APPLICATION: A renewal form will be mailed to you no later than the first week of October in even-numbered years. Please type or print using black ink. THE FORM SHOULD BE SIGNED AND DATED and postmarked by December 1 of the expiration year of your license. Please review the pre-printed information on the renewal form and make any revisions that are applicable.
 

FOR YOUR RENEWAL APPLICATION TO BE CONSIDERED COMPLETE, YOU MUST SUBMIT THE COMPLETED RENEWAL FORM, THE RENEWAL FEE AND PROOF OF THE REQUIRED NUMBER OF CONTINUING EDUCATION HOURS. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL DELAY RENEWAL OF YOUR LICENSE.

FEE: The biennial license renewal fee for dentists is $300.

CONTINUING EDUCATION: Pursuant to K.A.R. 71-4-3, Each dentist shall submit evidence of a minimum of 60 hours of continuing dental education courses that qualify for credit. Any course that is completed must have evidence attached.  Each course shall have been completed in the 24-month period immediately preceding the date of expiration of the dental license.

Each dentist who holds a specialist certificate shall submit at least 40 of the required 60 hours of continuing education are in courses in the specialty for which the licensee holds a specialty certificate.

Any dentist licensed less than 24 months, but more than twelve months, from the expiration date of the license is only required to submit 30 hours of continuing education.

Any dentist licensed less than twelve months from the expiration date of the license is exempt from continuing requirements for their first renewal cycle.

Any dentist who has a Retired License will STILL NEED to complete the renewal form.  Fees or continuing education does not need to be submitted.

CANCELLATION: Pursuant to K.S.A. 65-1431(e)(1) "Any license granted under authority of this act shall automatically be canceled if the holder thereof fails to apply for renewal within a period of one month from December 1 of every other year."

Please notify this office in writing if you wish to cancel your license per your request.

REINSTATEMENT: Pursuant to K.S.A. 65-1431(e)(2) "Any licensee whose license is automatically canceled by reason of failure, neglect or refusal to secure the renewal certificate may be reinstated by the board at any time within one month from the date of the automatic cancellation of such license, upon payment of the biennial renewal fee and upon proof that such licensee has satisfactorily completed a program of continuing education required by the board or at any time within two months from the date of the automatic cancellation of the license upon payment of the biennial renewal fee and a penalty fee of $500 and upon proof that such licensee has satisfactorily completed a program of continuing education required by the board."

Any licensee that fails to meet the requirements for reinstatement by March 1 will be required to file an application for licensure and comply with the requirements as provided for in statutes to obtain a new license.
