Dental Assistants: Well-Paid, Well-Respected, and Essential

March 16, 2022

The San Diego Dental Careers is the premiere school for anyone seeking a well-paying, satisfying, recession-proof career as a dental assistant. And we can make it happen at an affordable cost and in just eight weeks.

But perhaps you’re wondering, what exactly does a dental assistant do? This respected, in-demand position is a vital part of the overall dental team providing essential oral health services to patients. A fully trained dental assistant acts as the dentist’s “right hand” at the chair during treatment procedures. Providing patients with critical instructions before and after treatments; acting as a liaison between the patient and the dentist; maintaining up-to-date treatment records; and making sure all safety procedures are being followed, are all among the dental assistant’s duties. A well-trained assistant is simply indispensable to the functioning of a successful dental office today.

At San Diego Dental Careers, our faculty and teaching facilities deliver real-world, hands-on experience to our students. Our comprehensive program features a mix of classroom lectures and clinical practice in an 1,800-square-foot operating dental office. The techniques our students learn and the materials they work with are of the highest quality. The instructors and staff provide a learning experience that is second to none. Our classes are limited to just a dozen students to maximize each person’s exposure to the skills needed to get hired immediately after completion of the program. 

There’s never been a better time to become part of a profession that is forecasted to experience rapid growth nationwide in the coming years. The San Diego Dental Careers makes it easy for our enrollees by offering a fast-track, eight-week program, convenient payment plans, and tuition assistance. Our small classes composed of only a dozen students are filling up quickly, so call or visit us online today to claim your seat!
