13-week dental assistant-program

Why 13 Weeks?

We have trained new dental assistants in our offices for many years and found that many graduates from other schools often need additional on-the-job training to become fully efficient in a dental practice.

To address this, we designed a curriculum focused on practical, real-world skills. It began as a 10-week course but expanded to 13 weeks to include additional material and hands-on experience.

Students train in a fully equipped dental office and lab, gaining experience with both basic and advanced dental assisting procedures that reflect everyday clinical work.

In addition to the 13-Week Dental Assisting Program, we also offer:

7-Week Orthodontic Assisting Program – Focused on skills for assisting with orthodontic procedures and appliance placement.

EDDA (Expanded Duty Dental Assistant) Program – Covers advanced techniques and procedures for expanded dental duties certification.

Dental X-Ray Program – Provides instruction on radiographic techniques, safety, and state requirements for certification.

CPR/BLS Certification – Training in Basic Life Support and CPR, required for all dental professionals.
