Dentist figurine as a graduation gift — designed for the trade
Dentistry is a craft with an academic education behind it, and it is that duality the figurine tries to capture: the white coat and the loupes on one side, the dental mirror in hand on the other. That makes it a gift a dentist can display in the clinic without it looking like a gimmick. Designed and made in Denmark, as male or female.
Gift for a newly qualified dentist — typical gift-giving situations
The dentistry degree has small year groups, and the class stays close for five years. Joint gifts between fellow students are therefore more common here than on the big degrees, and the 16 cm figurine with the class's year in the engraving is a typical order. The family gives the personal gift on graduation day, often in 24 cm. A third group is the clinic owner who hires a newly qualified dentist and marks the first day — here the figurine with the clinic's name works as a welcome that stays on the reception desk.
Dentist figurine in 16 or 24 cm — which should you choose?
The Standard 16 cm figurine is our best seller for joint gifts from fellow students and colleagues. It has all the details of the trade, stands securely on a shelf or desk, and with engraving on the base it is fully personalised for DKK 798 in total. The Premium 24 cm figurine is half as tall again and takes up noticeably more space in a room. Families and employers who want to mark the day with real presence typically choose it, because it has a satisfying weight in the hand when it is presented.
The rule of thumb is simple: if the gift comes from one or two people with a close relationship, choose 24 cm. If it comes from a group, or will sit in an office among other things, 16 cm is the right choice. Both sizes come in a gift box and can be engraved.
Engraving on a graduation gift for dentists — what should you write?
The engraving is what turns the figurine into a personal gift rather than an ornament. The base has room for up to 3 lines of text – enough for a name, year and a short greeting. Three examples we often make: "CAMILLA · DENTIST · 2026", "CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR DEGREE, JONAS", "CAND.ODONT. 2026 · FROM THE FAMILY". The graduation year is the most requested element, because it is the date the dentist will always remember.
Engraving costs DKK 199 and adds 1–2 working days to delivery. Engraved figurines cannot be returned unless there is a production fault, so check the spelling of the name one more time.
Dentistry — why the day deserves a proper gift
Dentistry is a five-year master's programme with clinical work at the dental school from the third year, where students treat real patients under supervision. The programme combines anatomy, pharmacology and materials science with a craft that demands steady hands and the ability to work in mirror image. After the master's degree comes a year of clinical basic training before independent practice. Graduation day is the day five years of theory and hundreds of treatments become a title.
Several at a time — for companies, institutions and teams
Workplaces with several newly qualified employees often order the figurines together, one per person, with the same text template and different names. The figurines wait ready in their boxes until the day arrives, so nobody has to remember in a busy week. Write the names and year in the comments field when you order, or email them to us, and we will set up the engraving to your template. Invoicing to a company CVR number is available via the business page.
Delivery, gift box and returns
The figurine ships within 5 business days from our workshop in Varde. With engraving, allow 1–2 extra working days, so order at least a week before the graduation party to be on the safe side. If the celebration is only a few days away, the figurine without engraving can still arrive in time, and the engraving can be ordered afterwards.
The gift box is included in the price, so the gift is ready to present without wrapping. You have the statutory 14-day right of withdrawal, and at Udlært you have 90 days on figurines without engraving. Engraved figurines are made to order with a clearly personal character and are exempt from the right of withdrawal (Danish Consumer Contracts Act, section 18(2)(3)). There is a 2-year statutory complaints period under the Danish Sale of Goods Act. If you have questions about size, engraving or delivery, we reply quickly by email.
