Dentistry licensing

According to the current Ukrainian legislation, in order to open a dental office and engage in private practice, it is necessary to obtain a permit document. We are talking about a license. Among the specialties that belong to such a direction as dentistry: surgical, therapeutic and orthopedic dentistry; children's dentistry and orthodontics. If you need a license to practice dentistry, our specialists - lawyers Prykhodko and Partners - will help you with this.

    Dental license is a license that allows you to practice medicine in one or more dental specialties. This license is issued by the Ministry of Health of Ukraine.
Before submitting documents, it is important to register as a business entity. It is very important at this stage to decide on a specific form of business (it can be, for example, an LLC or a sole proprietorship). It all depends on what services you plan to provide, as well as how large-scale your future enterprise will be. For example, if you want to open a small dental office, you will need an FOP. When providing a wide range of services and having a large number of personnel, the LLC option will be more relevant.

Preparation for dental licensing

The first thing to start with is to find a suitable room. It can be bought or rented. The key to success is the correct equipment of the premises, achieving compliance with current sanitary standards. Among the main requirements for such premises:

1. Location. The ideal option for placing a dental office is the basement, first or second floor.
2. The dental office can be located in a residential building. The main condition is the absence of X-ray equipment (there may be exceptions).
3. The optimal area of ​​the room. Calculation for one workplace of a dentist - 14 m2, for additional working hours place - from 10 m2.
4. It is prohibited to use the premises for other functional purposes.
5. Children and adult patients cannot be admitted in the same office at the same time.

Thus, there are various nuances associated with opening a dental office in Ukraine. The facility itself must meet the requirements established by Ukrainian legislation. For example, a waiting room, an X-ray room, and two bathrooms are mandatory.
As for other requirements, everything depends on the existing specialization of the room. There are certain requirements for room decoration materials. In addition, it is necessary to collect documents that will relate to the organization of work.
