Hear from other foreign dentists...
I was initially overwhelmed and unsure how to begin the approbation process and job search in Germany. The requirements felt complex, especially around documentation, and I didn’t know where to start.
After a consultation with Dentist2germany, everything became clear. Their structured guidance helped me organize my documents and confidently submit my application to Sachsen—even without my German language certificate. I highly recommend this service to anyone feeling stuck or uncertain about starting their migration process.

When I first looked into moving to Germany, the process felt overwhelming. There was a lot of confusing information online, and even travel consultants didn’t seem to understand the specific path for dentists.
Everything changed after I found his page on Instagram and booked a consultation. He patiently answered all my questions, reviewed my CV, and guided me step by step with clear, practical advice tailored to my situation. His support gave me the confidence to start applying for dental assistant jobs from India and understand the documentation and visa process in detail.
What stood out most was his patience and continued support—he never made me feel uncomfortable asking questions and still checks in to offer guidance. I’m truly grateful and would highly recommend his consultation to any dentist feeling lost about moving to Germany.
