What you'll learn

The Dental Assistant performs many tasks, ranging from patient care to record keeping in a general dental office under the direct supervision of the Dentist. Dental Assistants work in general or specialty dental practices such as Orthodontists, Endodontists, and Periodontists offices. This program will provide the knowledge needed for a beginner in dental assisting. After satisfactory completion, passing all academic and skills testing the student will receive a certificate for Dental Assisting. A Dental Assistant is employable in any general or specialty business or clinical position.

According to the Department of Labor, “The overall employment of Dental Assistants is expected to increase by 11 percent from 2020 to 2030, much faster than the average. Ongoing research linking oral health and general health will likely continue to increase the demand for preventive dental services. Dentists will continue to hire more dental assistants to complete routine tasks, allowing the dentist to see more patients in their practice”. There were fewer than 10 graduates in this program. Median placement amounts are withheld to preserve the confidentiality of graduates.

The Dental Assistant program student will complete instructional and laboratory procedures for a period of up to 16weeks with the clinical competencies completed under direct supervision of a campus instructor. Expect to spend 13hours per week towards the online program and the externship components. Successful completion of all program 8 components is required to receive a program certificate of completion.
