Dental Assisting Program

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. Our program is conveniently offered on Saturdays and or Sundays from 9:00am – 6:00pm.  We require a minimum of 6 students to conduct the program with a maximum of 15 students in each class. 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 dental office with several dental operatories, laboratory, fully functional front office, and cutting-edge equipment such as digital radiology, 3D CBCT 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.
