Our Dental Assisting Program will help you gain the knowledge and skills that are required to become a valued dental assistant. The program is designed to give you maximum "hands-on" training and experience in an actual working office. You will be taught the most up-to-date techniques, using the very best technology available. The teaching is stimulating, fast paced, and relies heavily on individual participation. Each class is no larger than ten students, insuring personal attention and a worthwhile learning experience. You will not have time to be bored!

After completing the 10 week dental assisting program you will be capable of preparing patients for treatment, assisting the dentist during procedures, charting patient treatment, sterilizing instruments, providing oral hygiene instructions, preparing dental filling materials, taking impressions and much more. You will be ready to step right into your new career!

Our students will become familiar with laboratory duties such as pouring up plaster casts of teeth, cleaning and polishing removable appliances and making temporary crowns. We will cover front office duties such as scheduling and confirming appointments, receiving patients, keeping treatment records, sending bills, receiving payments, and ordering dental supplies.

That's all it takes! Take ten classes in ten weeks and you'll be ready to be hired as a dental assistant. And, according to a report released in March of 2008, dental assistants in the Orange County area earn $15-20 per hour.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to Change Your Life. Start your career as a Dental Assistant and join fellow health care professionals in the exciting, challenging, ever changing field of dentistry.

A career that helps people improve their dental health will be a rewarding and enormously satisfying achievement for you. No two days will ever be the same and your job will continuously renew itself. The dental assisting profession will always be in demand and it could very well be the best career choice for you!

Even your work schedule can be great. It can be as varied as your life is - part time to full time.

Our hope is that this training will only be the first step in your career advancement. We want you to become a dental assistant that is not only technically skilled, but is outgoing, sincere, well organized and successful at interpersonal relationships. Your ability to put the patient at ease and to work well with the rest of the office staff are complementary skills that will make you a more valuable employee.
