Dental Assistant

A fulfilling profession. A rewarding future.

Dental Assistants work directly with patients and dentists in chair-side procedures, as well as perform a wide variety of office administrative duties. They also conduct different charting, instrumentation and lab procedures. Apollo College's comprehensive program prepares students to serve as Dental Assistants, Front Office Receptionists or Dental Office Managers. There is a continuing need for fully trained dental professionals, and we help graduates pursue the many opportunities available to them.

Our program is designed to give students a complete education in the clinical, laboratory and administrative duties of Dental Assistant and all its related functions. Students are taught the procedures involved with chair-side assistance to dentists, as well as oral hygiene, office techniques and other skills. Upon completion of all training, students perform an externship in a dentist's office or other facility - the start of a fulfilling profession with a rewarding future.
