Licenses may be renewed online at Online Renewals or a renewal application may be downloaded and submitted by mail to the Board office.

Dental licenses and certification expire starting March 2 of the renewal period and must be reinstated by the board in order to practice in SC. Dental licensees may not practice with a lapsed license or certification.
