Dental Assisting

At Akron Institute we are focused on providing our students with marketable skills that will help them attain their career objectives. Our programs are designed to ensure that the skills and knowledge we teach our students parallel those in demand in the workplace. The best way to get more information about our programs is to visit our campus to meet with one of our admissions representatives.

Dental Assistants are trained in chairside assisting, four-handed dentistry, radiology, and the use of dental materials. In addition, they manage financial records, complete insurance forms, and schedule patients.

Upon completion of the Dental Assistant program, graduates are eligible to take the Dental Assisting National Board Radiation Health & Safety examination which upon successful completion allows for Radiology licensing in the State of Ohio. These students may also sit for the Ohio Dental Association Certification Examination upon graduation and for the General Chairside Examination given by the Dental Assisting National Board after six months of full-time work experience and after having qualified for CPR Certification.
