Our  teaching is stimulating, fast-paced, and relies heavily on your participation. An excellent textbook is used and there are some reading assignments with homework. This way classroom time can be spent learning the "hands-on." You are not expected to already know everything. We do expect you to work hard, study well, and learn!

Following your training in this ten-week course, you will have the confidence and skills necessary to apply for a position as a Dental Assistant. Along with your Dental Assisting diploma, CPR certification, you will be certified in Dental Radiology as required by the Georgia Department of Human Resources. In spite of what other programs tell you, this is the only certification you need to be a dental assistant in Georgia and most other states.

Dental Assisting careers are open wide.

Choosing a career as a Dental Assistant is a smart decision, since entry-level dental professionals are very much in demand now. According to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of Dental Assistants is expected to grow much faster than the average for all occupations through the year 2012. In fact, Dental Assisting careers are expected to be among the fastest growing occupations through 2012.
 Dental Assistants work in a well-lighted, clean environment. About half of Dental Assistants have a 35 to 40-hour workweek, which may include work on Saturdays or evenings. The starting pay scale for experienced dental assistants is considerably higher than non-experienced. We are often asked what a graduate from our course should expect to make in their first job. The answer depends on where the office is. Offices in a metropolitan area generally pay higher salaries than those in suburban areas. Graduates of our course can expect to start well above the pay scale of those without experience, but less than experienced assistants.
