Dental Assisting Technologies prepares you with hands-on experience.

You learn the process and steps/flow of various dental procedures.

We provide instrument packages to make sure students learn how to hold and pass instruments with actual instruments. Other schools send you home to practice on your own with images of the instruments in textbooks.

Instead of a 5-week internship which is unpaid, Dental Assisting Technologies provides job shadowing. Other schools use those internships as “placements” and therefore show a much higher placement rate than they really create.

Other schools have their 5-week internship at ONE office. Dental Assisting Technologies places you in multiple job shadowing opportunities so students experience that all offices work differently. So just because you’re taught the “right” way in school, you have to adapt to however an office wants things done.

Dental Assisting Technologies is more closely in touch with various dental offices and orthodontic offices. Many of those offices call the owners of our school rather than placing employment ads. Sherri Mikkles, one of the owners, tailors which students she offers as applicants based on the student’s personality and the personalities of the dental office in need of an assistant. She can do this because she has been able to get to know the students well due to the small class sizes.
