Yes, BDS graduates can open their dental clinic immediately after completing the course, but practical experience and financial investment are crucial for success. Setting up a clinic requires dental equipment, registration with the Dental Council of India (DCI), and a good patient base.
Most fresh graduates prefer working under senior dentists before starting their practice. This helps them gain clinical exposure, business insights, and patient management skills, ensuring a stable and successful career in dentistry.

Practical training in BDS plays a crucial role in developing clinical expertise. During the final years and one-year compulsory internship, students perform dental procedures like extractions, root canals, and restorations under supervision. This hands-on experience helps them gain confidence and technical skills.
Moreover, practical training teaches students patient communication, diagnosis, and treatment planning. Exposure to real-world cases ensures that they are job-ready and capable of handling dental emergencies in professional practice.
