FAQs: Partnering with Us to Build a Dental Assisting School

1. How do I know your students will have the skills needed in my office?

Before establishing a location in any state, we carefully review state regulations and educational requirements for dental assistants. Our goal is to equip students with everything they need to succeed in the dental field. Here’s how we ensure their readiness:

• State Licensing: Each location is licensed through the appropriate state regulatory body.
• Comprehensive Curriculum: We cover foundational skills, including:
  • Radiology training
  • Dental terminology
  • Tooth numbers and surfaces
  • Impressions
  • Dental software and front desk procedures
• Soft Skills Development: Technical skills are essential, but being a great employee goes beyond that. Every class includes components of our life coaching curriculum to foster professionalism and interpersonal skills.

By the time our students complete the program, they are prepared to be valuable assets to your dental team.

2. How do I start a dental assisting school through you?

Getting started is simple! Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:

1. Initial Call: Contact our team to discuss your interest.
2. Market Assessment: We conduct a needs assessment to determine if a partnership will be mutually beneficial.
3. Contract Agreement: Once aligned, we begin the paperwork.
4. Licensing Process: We gather and submit all necessary documents to the state board of education.

The entire process typically takes 3 to 12 months from start to finish.

3. Will students interfere with my day-to-day operations?

Not at all! Here’s why:

• Class Scheduling: Our classes are held on Saturdays, during non-operational hours.
• Insurance Coverage: To provide peace of mind, we carry insurance to cover any potential damage to your office or equipment.

4. How involved do I need to be in this process?

We aim to make this partnership as hands-off as possible for you. Our dedicated departments handle every stage of the process to ensure smooth operations:

• Licensing Department: Submits the application to the state regulatory body and maintains annual license renewals. During the initial setup, we may need minimal assistance from you to gather facility-related documents.
• Marketing Department: Oversees marketing campaigns to attract students to your school.
• Admissions Department: Facilitates enrollment and manages all necessary paperwork for students.
• Finance Department: Handles all student financial matters.
• Operations Department: Ensures the program runs seamlessly, including curriculum management, instructor relations, student support, and maintaining a strong partnership with you.

Once the setup is complete, you can focus on your practice while we take care of the rest.
