You will never be bored when you launch a career with our dental assistant training school. You will spend each day performing various tasks and always be busy doing something.

Working in a dental office offers a clean, professional environment. You will have all the benefits of working in an office setting but won’t be sitting at a computer screen all day. You will work under a dentist’s direction while performing various tasks.

We offer convenient schedules, allowing you to work while you go to school.

You can work full-time or part-time as a dental assistant. It is not unusual to work with a dentist who sees patients a couple of days a week or with a dentist who sees patients five days a week. Some dentists work regular day shifts, and some work in the evening. You can find a schedule that matches your lifestyle!
