Before you begin

A few things you may be wondering.

Do I need dental experience?

This program is designed for people with little to no dental experience who want to explore the front office side of dentistry.

When are classes and how much does it cost?

Request program details below. Admissions will confirm current start dates, class length, tuition, and the registration process. Evening and weekend options are planned for working students.

Is this the same as the Dental Assisting Program?

This program focuses on receptionist and administrative skills. The Dental Assisting Program is a separate course focused on chairside skills and clinical training.

Are there internship opportunities?

The program includes opportunities to gain experience with local dental offices. Ask admissions about availability, requirements, and how internships are arranged. An inquiry does not reserve an internship or guarantee employment.

Does sending this form enroll me?

No. This is a request for information. Admissions will explain the program and next steps before you decide whether to register. No payment is collected here.
