Absolutely loved this school. Meghan and Arely were both super helpful with anything we needed during class and made sure everyone was staying on the right track. The dental divas in my group were amazing and it helped sm knowing i wasn’t alone with finding externships or confusing questions. and they somehow made a 4 hour lab fun. 100% recommend this program, it went by so fast i swear i blinked and went from week 4 to week 12. the only negative of this experience was communication with the school. I got a new advisor at week 2, she got promoted and after that it was hard getting in touch with the school or my new advisor about technical issues. lol they still haven’t gotten back to me on. but TRUST, your instructors will advocate and fight for you to make sure you get through the course with no issues and everything you need. so happy im certified and starting a new career path! 💗💗🥰 Read less

I had a great experience at my dental assistant school. The program was well-structured and really prepared me for working in a real dental office. The instructors were supportive, knowledgeable, and truly cared about our success. Megan and Arely were especially amazing—they were patient, encouraging, and always willing to take extra time to make sure we understood both the clinical skills and the “why” behind them. Their passion for teaching made a big difference in my confidence and learning experience. I’m very grateful for the education and support I received and would highly recommend this school to anyone interested in becoming a dental assistant. Read less
