Dental assisting is in high demand. Employment of dental assistants is projected to grow 6 percent from 2024 to 2034, faster than the average for all occupations. To learn more, visit the Bureau of Labor Statistics website. Also, over 7,000+ graduates have informed us that they have been hired.
We do not accept FAFSA because we’ve chosen to stay independent from federal funding. Federal aid programs—like FAFSA—come with a lot of red tape that can limit how we design our programs, how fast students can complete them, and how flexible we can be with payment options. By staying independent, we get to keep tuition more affordable, make program updates faster to match what dental offices actually need, and help students graduate and start working sooner.
How much you make as a dental assistant depends on where you work, your experience level, and the type of office you’re in.

Your starting salary as a dental assistant depends on your skills and performance — not on how long your program was or how much it cost. What really matters is hands-on experience. Our program trains you in a real dental office so you can walk in on day one knowing exactly what to do — not just what you read in a textbook.
Traditional schools focus on memorization. We focus on creating memories that stick — hands-on training that actually means something when you’re in a real dental office.
A wise man once said: “If you give yourself two weeks to do something, it’ll take two weeks. If you give yourself two hours, you’ll get it done in two hours.” You’d be amazed what you can learn in 10 weeks when you’re focused, driven, and surrounded by people who want to see you win.
