Dental Assistant Course Admissions

Our program fully prepares you to become a dental assistant in just 9 weeks.

Our hands-on classes take place in a real dental office rather than a classroom. Students spend the majority of the class time learning the essential techniques of Dental Assisting first-hand from our experienced instructors. Each class begins with an instructional lecture, however our program emphasizes hands-on learning. When our students graduate, they feel at home in a dental office and possess all the skills need to succeed in their new career.

We don’t accept financial aid, but we have some pretty great reasons why! We believe that all students deserve a great education that doesn’t leave you stuck with thousands of dollars in student loans to pay back. Our school has redefined continuing education with super affordable tuition prices that enable our students to graduate without student loan debt. We offer several convenient payment plan options and can even customize a plan that works within your budget!

As a newly hired Dental Assistant, your employer will expect you to know the basics of dental assisting. Our school created a modern approach to hands-on training with a customized curriculum that’s taught in a real dental practice. Thanks to decades of industry experience, close partnerships with dentists and dental offices, and our mission to make continuing education more accessible and affordable for everyone, we are able to teach you all the fundamentals of dental assisting in a shorter amount of time — setting students up for success (rather than years of student loan debt).

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 are responsible for preparing patients for cleanings, treatments, and procedures, while also making them feel at ease during their visit. During dental visits, assistants often work alongside the dentist and can be expected to support the dentist during procedures.

Examples of clinical duties include preparing patients and the work area for treatments and procedures, sterilizing dental instruments, taking molds and impressions, and performing x-rays.

Administrative front office tasks include assisting patients with scheduling, billing and payments, patient documentation, and more.

The median annual wage for dental assistants is $35,920 per year as of May 2017. For more information, please visit https://www.bls.gov/oes/2017/may/oes319091.htm.

Per the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of dental assistants is projected to grow 19 percent from 2016 to 2026, much faster than the average for all occupations. For more information, please visit https://www.bls.gov/ooh/healthcare/dental-assistants.htm#tab-1.

Nope. 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 have anything to do with how long you spent in school or how much you paid for your schooling.
