The BCCOHP board has approved the fees for the 2026/27 year. Notable changes include:
We are continuing to review the fee schedule with the goal of establishing a unified, sustainable fee structure across the oral health professions.
See below for a breakdown of the 2026/27 fees by type of oral health professional.
Terminology changes: Note that under the incoming Health Professions and Occupations Act (HPOA), all health regulators in BC are moving to a licensure model instead of a registration model. Therefore, in preparation for the transition to the new HPOA-compliant bylaws on April 1, our terminology has shifted to “licence” instead of “registration”
