Great program! One of the highlights of this program is the instructors—Miss Chantal, Miss Macy, and Miss Ariana. They are not only there to teach you, but also to guide you and help you improve your weaknesses. The reason I enrolled in this program is because it offers both online and in-person learning, which has helped me become even more confident in my skills. Even after graduating, they continue to support their students by providing resources and connecting them with dental offices in the area that are hiring. Read less

I had a great experience at Tyler Dental Assistant School. The hands on lab sessions were my favorite part because they made learning fun and helped me feel more prepared for working in a live dental office. It was also great meeting new people throughout the program. Ms. Chantal, Macy, and Ariana were all wonderful instructors. They were patient, knowledgeable, and always willing to answer questions and help when needed. Read less

This is a hands-on program, a different approach from traditional education. Our classes take place in a dental office rather than a classroom. Classes begin with a lecture and discussion, but most of the class time is spent in labs learning the essential dental assisting skills. When our students graduate, they feel at home in a dental office.

Dentists expect newly hired dental assistants to know fundamental skills. Our program focuses on helping you master those skills to set you up for success in your new career.

When you graduate from any dental assisting school you receive a certificate of completion. Many students ask if they can expect to make a higher starting salary if they attend a longer program. The starting salary for a Dental Assistant does not depend on how long you spent in school or how much you paid for your schooling.

Dental Assistants perform a variety of duties, including but not limited to assisting the dentist, carrying out clinical tasks, and completing administrative work.

Dental assistants may perform many different clinical duties including preparing patients and the work area for treatments and procedures, sterilizing dental instruments, assisting the dentist during procedures, administrative/front office tasks, working with patients on billing and payment, taking molds and impressions, performing x-rays, and more.

Dental Assistants are responsible for making patients feel at ease while also preparing them for treatment. During dental visits, assistants often work alongside the dentist.

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), employment of dental assistants is projected to grow 6 percent from 2024 to 2034, faster than the average for all occupations. For more information, please visit the Bureau of Labor Statistics website.
