Your 12-Week Journey

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

  1. Weeks 1-2: Building Your Foundation

    You'll start by learning the fundamentals — dental terminology, professional conduct, and the basics of working in a dental office. You'll meet your classmates and instructors, and start getting comfortable in a clinical environment.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
