The only reason I give 5 stars is because mrs jessica paz our instructor she was absolutely amazing but as far as trying to get your advisor to reach out you are going to have to advocate for yourself . If it was not for Mrs Jessica the way I feel today it would have gotten a 2 star. Read less

Don’t think about it just do it! I am so glad I came across this program. The entire experience from signing up to graduating has been absolutely incredible. I throughly enjoyed every minute of it. It’s such a bittersweet moment to have my Saturdays back, because I will miss meeting for lab on Saturday mornings. Huge shout out to my phenomenal teachers Jessica, Reagan, and Will.. They are absolutely amazing and I am so grateful that they were the ones who guided me through this journey. I would also like to thank my advisor Melissa for coaching me and keeping me prepared and on top of things throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend this program to anyone. It’s beyond affordable and worth every penny spent. Failure is not an option!! Read less

This is a hands-on program, a different approach from traditional education. Our classes take place in a dental office rather than a classroom. Classes begin with a lecture and discussion, but most of the class time is spent in labs learning the essential dental assisting skills. When our students graduate, they feel at home in a dental office.

Dentists expect newly hired dental assistants to know fundamental skills. Our program focuses on helping you master those skills to set you up for success in your new career.

When you graduate from any dental assisting school you receive a certificate of completion. Many students ask if they can expect to make a higher starting salary if they attend a longer program. The starting salary for a Dental Assistant does not depend on how long you spent in school or how much you paid for your schooling.

Dental Assistants perform a variety of duties, including but not limited to assisting the dentist, carrying out clinical tasks, and completing administrative work.

Dental assistants may perform many different clinical duties including preparing patients and the work area for treatments and procedures, sterilizing dental instruments, assisting the dentist during procedures, administrative/front office tasks, working with patients on billing and payment, taking molds and impressions, performing x-rays, and more.

Dental Assistants are responsible for making patients feel at ease while also preparing them for treatment. During dental visits, assistants often work alongside the dentist.

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), employment of dental assistants is projected to grow 6 percent from 2024 to 2034, faster than the average for all occupations. For more information, please visit the Bureau of Labor Statistics website.
