About Us
The job opportunities for trained assistants are quite good in today’s marketplace. While no one can guarantee job placement, the dental profession is currently facing a shortage of trained assistants. If one examines the classified ads of the local newspaper they would find many entries for Dental Assistants.
Following your training in this ten week course, you will have the confidence and skills necessary to apply for these positions. Along with your diploma, we will give
you a summary of your training experience.
Part of your training will involve the JOB INTERVIEW itself, how to prepare for it, how to dress, what to say, etc. So often jobs are lost during the first five minutes of the interview. WE feel it is important to train you in this area so that you will stand out from the rest of those competing for that position.
Additionally, many doctors call our office asking for a list of our recent student graduates. We also inform our current class of any doctor needing Dental Assistants so that they may apply directly for the position. Many of our students have obtained jobs as dental assistants even before completing the course.
The starting pay scale for experienced dental assistants is considerably higher for those who have completed a structured dental assisting course and most offices will not even consider anyone without that experience. We are often asked what can a graduate from our course expect to make in their first job? The answer depends on where the office is located. Offices in metropolitan areas generally pay higher salaries than those in the outer suburban areas. Graduates of our course can expect to start well above the pay scale of those with no experience, but less that the experience assistants. This is good news, as your experience and skills develop, with time on the job, your level should also rise.
