Comprehensive Curriculum with Experienced Faculty

Dental assistants need a strong foundation in dental knowledge. South Florida Dental Assisting School has an experienced faculty dedicated to guiding new dental assistants through our program. Our comprehensive curriculum teaches our students about anatomy and development of teeth, dental terminology, dental techniques, and dental specialties. Our students will understand the full range of what is needed from a dental assistant. Some of the training includes how to sterilize equipment, record patient vitals, perform dental X-rays, and assist the dentist chairside during dental procedures. Specialized training and certifications are available for our students to make sure they are prepared for anything they will be expected to do.

Small Class Sizes Give Students Personalized Support

South Florida Dental Assisting School is committed to small class sizes. Having small classes ensures that every student will be given the personalized support they need to fully understand all of the information and techniques they will need to master before beginning their new career. Although our program is short, small class sizes allow us to get to know each student and mentor them through the program. Every student will be given personalized attention both in the classroom and with their practical training in the immersive learning environment of a real dental office. Our students leave our program feeling supported and prepared for their new career.

State-of-the-Art Facilities Ensure Graduates are Ready

Dental technology evolves rapidly, and most dental offices are committed to embracing these new techniques and technologies. At South Florida Dental Assisting School, we share that commitment and demonstrate that with our state-of-the-art facilities. In addition to using the latest technology, we also consistently update our curriculum to make sure that our students are using the most up-to-date methods and techniques so they are prepared for anything when they begin their career as a dental assistant.

Our Training Has a Proven Track Record of Success

While our dental assistant training program offers the comprehensive curriculum and classwork needed for our students to succeed, there is a proven advantage to the hands-on training we offer. The most effective way to learn a trade is by doing it. All of our clinical hours are held in real dentist’s offices, which allows our students to observe and then practice their techniques on real patients. Our students are always supervised and coached as they practice procedures, but they will leave our program completely prepared to handle any task when they begin their career as a dental assistant.

Our Program is Accessible to All Students

We know that while some of our students are beginning their first career, others are choosing to pivot their professional path and start something new, meaning that they are doing their training while working or fulfilling family obligations. Our program is designed for the flexibility that students need. Both of our locations offer students a flexible schedule, including classes on weekends and evenings. Our hands-on curriculum allows students to finish the program in as little as twelve weeks, making it an attractive option for those looking to switch careers. Our program is more affordable than many other career and technical programs in the area, and we have tuition assistance and financing available to those who need it. South Florida Dental Assisting School is designed to be affordable and convenient to all students in the area.

Connections to Local Practices Give Our Students an Edge

Dental assistants are in high demand, which means that our students have an excellent career outlook after completing our program. Because we have such a strong reputation in our community, local dental offices know that our graduates will be well prepared for their work in any dental office. In addition, our relationships with these local dental offices can give our students an additional advantage. Our students are required to complete externship hours in a local practice, which allows them to start building their resume while still in the program. Because these dental offices trust our programs after seeing our students in action, they will come to South Florida Dental Assisting School when they need positions filled. Our job placement assistance allows us to connect these offices with our recent graduates, making getting that first position as a dental assistant much less stressful. We take the time to prepare our students for interviews and help them highlight the benefits of their training as well.
