Become a Dental Assistant!
Dental Assistant Program Outline
Our dental assistant program has been developed for 12 consecutive weeks. Our program is jammed packed with information, didactic and lab portions, as well as on site observation day. Students are required to wear clinical attire (scrubs). We will provide, gloves, masks, safety goggles and all disposable items and supplies along with instruments and equipment for training.
Students will be required to carry themselves professionally, have long hair pulled back, clean, close toe shoes.
Our program takes place in a modern facility equipped similar to a functional dental office with several dental chairs, laboratory, and cutting-edge equipment such as digital radiology, Pano unit, CAD/CAM system with intraoral scanner and milling unit.
During your 12-week dental assistant training program you will have the opportunity to complete a minimum of 8 hours of externship in one of our partner locations, so you can apply the skills you have learned in a real life dental office setting.
Enrollment is open until 2 days of the beginning of the next program. The program runs consecutively for 12 weeks with exception of major holidays (Christmas, New Year, Independence Day Memorial Day, Labor Day, and Easter). If a class is scheduled during these holidays, it will move a week back or to a makeup day if possible.
