Welcome

Dear Student,

Thank you so much for your interest in the Dental Assistant School of Atlanta. I, along with our instructors, look forward to welcoming you to our innovative and unique course in dental assisting. We offer a course designed to give you the skills necessary to start your new career, at a minimum cost of time and expense.

We offer this opportunity from the perspective of practicing dentists and experienced dental assistants in the setting of an actual dental office. While we seek to give you exposure to a wide range of techniques, materials, and dental knowledge, we focus on the skills that dentists see as "core necessities" for starting a position as a dental assistant.

Our enrollment process is designed to help you understand the next steps. Contact Admissions with questions about the program and available student-support resources.
