Our Dental Assisting program gives you hands-on training in the essential skills needed to work in a dental office. You’ll learn how to assist during procedures, take X-rays, sterilize instruments, prepare treatment rooms, take impressions, and provide excellent patient care. This course also introduces basic front-office tasks, such as scheduling and charting. It’s a great fit for anyone looking to start a career in healthcare quickly, without a four-year degree. Graduates are prepared for dental assisting roles and can continue growing in the dental field.
The Dental Software course focuses on the administrative side of dentistry, teaching you how to manage appointments, patient records, billing, insurance, and daily office operations using industry-standard practice management tools. We are proud to be the pilot school for Dentrix Ascend, a cutting-edge, cloud-based software used by modern dental offices across the country. Students receive hands-on training in this powerful system, giving them a real-world advantage in today’s digital dental environment. You’ll also build strong customer service and communication skills, making this course ideal for those who want to work in a dental office without performing clinical duties, or for dental assistants looking to expand into administrative and front-office roles.
Our Orthodontics course provides specialized training for those looking to work in orthodontic practices. You’ll learn how to assist with placing and removing brackets, wires, and other appliances, as well as how to take impressions, pour and trim models, and educate patients about orthodontic care.
