Hello, Did your wife studied BDS in INDIA and from which university? And Professional course equivalent to master right, in EE?
No professional course is equivalent to a professional course. Would warn you that there is a surplus of dentists in Canada that only keeps getting worse.

Boggles my mind why Canada favours immigration for professional degrees when there are huge oversupply of dentists, pharmacists and lawyers.

So, if it is equivalent to professional course, then I believe it should give same no. of points as master, what you say? And are you also a dentist facing difficulties in Canada?

All you can do is submit and see what equivalency is. No one can tell you what will happen. Is she the primary applicant? What is CRS score with equivalency.
