I was super nervous to start but once I started it was actually a lot of fun. I was happy to graduate but at the same time sad because I was going to miss everyone. All of the instructiors were so helpful. Instructor Francis was very sweet and was always there to answer any questions I had no matter how small.

As the lead dental instructor, I have the privilege of witnessing the journey of our students every 12 weeks, and it's a role I cherish deeply.
Our program is more than just a curriculum; it's a gateway to new opportunities and fulfilling careers in the field of dentistry. With each new set of students, I'm inspired by the fresh perspectives, eagerness to learn, and determination to succeed that they bring to the table.
Seeing our students graduate with the skills and confidence to excel in their profession makes me filled with so much joy. I'm excited to continue this journey of empowerment and education with each new group that joins our program.

This is a very effective and innovative program! I am currently enrolled in the class and loving it. Even though it’s a lot to learn in 12 weeks, it doesn’t seem like that when every class your working on lab skills in a dental office. Overall highly recommend!

Currently a student here (getting ready to graduate at the end of the month) and it has been one of the best choices I have ever made. The instructors are friendly, knowledgeable and really go the extra mile for the students to make sure they are getting the most out of their time at this school. I would highly recommend it to everyone! I was even hired on at the office I did my externship at before I even finished school!

All the instructors here are really great. The course here taught me a ton and got me into an externship with an office before the course had ended. It's accredited and very affordable for what you're learning here and the time it takes you. You learn how take xrays, the steps for fillings, taking impressions, tooth numbers, how to make a temporary crown, and more. The instructors are also dental assistants that work in the community, so you have the advantage of gaining some great references by attending here. Money well spent, imo. I start my externship next Monday and I might end up with a full time job after that!
