From clinical fundamentals to your first job interview, we prepare you for everything the dental industry requires.

-
Weeks 3-8: Hands-On Clinical Training
This is where it gets real. You'll practice clinical skills in a real dental office environment, working with actual equipment and tools. You'll learn chairside assisting, infection control, dental charting, X-rays, and clinical procedures.

Weeks 9-10: Certification Prep
Prepare for your dental assistant certification exam with comprehensive review sessions and practice tests. You'll earn your credential as part of the program.

Weeks 11-12: Externship
Put everything you've learned into practice during your externship at a local dental office. You'll work alongside licensed professionals, gaining real-world experience that employers value.
A Typical Week
Classroom Learning
Each week includes structured classroom time where you'll learn the theory and knowledge behind dental assisting — from anatomy and terminology to patient care protocols and office procedures.
Hands-On Practice
Our classes take place in real dental offices, so you'll practice on the same equipment you'll use in your career. This isn't a simulation — it's the real thing.
What You'll Learn
Our class sizes are small by design, so you get the individual attention you need. Your instructors are experienced dental professionals who are invested in your success — and our student support team is here to help with everything from scheduling to career placement.
