What Our Graduates Say
Sarah Powell
This was the best school ever. I toured a few different assisting schools and this is the only one that stood out to me. I felt so welcomed and knew I had to go here! From Brenda, to Holley, to the wonderful instructors, you will feel right at home like you are apart of their family. Best decision I ever made! I highly recommend the American Institute of Dental Assisting!
Robin Arnold
This is sincerely the best decision I’ve ever made. From the moment I stepped foot into the school, I was shown nothing but LOVE. If the Dental profession is intriguing to you, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND signing up and being a student at AIDA. Thank you so much AIDA staff for being a part of my success story.
Courtnie Golightly
The best program and instructors hands down. The only downfall for me, is I didn’t find this place sooner in life. I have the best career now and it is so much more then I imagined it would be. Thank you AIDA!
Alicia Ghosh
Joining AIDA was probably one of te best decisions I’ve ever made! The program is amazing and every single team member at AIDA are so friendly and helpful! After joining the program you don’t feel like you are unprepared. At the end of the program, I left with another family I know I can always go back to. THANK YOU AIDA!! You’ve changed my life!
Brittany Rubio
This school helped me right from the start. From helping me obtain a grant from the state, all the way to sending me numerous job openings after I graduated, this school staff ( Holly and Brenda) are amazing! The teachers are so great too (Tammy and Monique), always re explaining something if you need but challenging you everyday to be a better version of yourself and to believe in yourself. I feel like this school really set me up for success in a career I never would have imagined doing, but I honestly couldn’t be happier :) I’m full of gratitude, AIDA.
Candace Oakes
My experience at AIDA was absolutely amazing! The program structure was convenient and easy to follow, despite being accelerated. All of the staff is personable and genuinely wants you to succeed! Upon completion of this 13 week program, and no dental experience prior, I am now and oral surgeon assistant and loving every minute of it! Thank you AIDA,
Julie Kim

Coming into class the first day I didn’t know anything about dental field and now my last day of class I feel so confident working in a dental office with the knowledge I’ve learned from AIDA!
Margaret Magie Hernandez
I would encourage everyone to come here. This staff is very energetic, positive vibes all day, and you all are very down to earth, funny and loving. Outstanding to you all. Also want to mention the dentists here are so wonderful. Big shout out to Dr. T he spent time explaining his procedures to us so well!
Kaylese Pritchett
I have loved every minute at AIDA. I feel they truly care about each students needs. My teachers were always available to answer any questions I had. Even during COVID-19 I still felt supported and every need was met. Every clinical and class was so amazing and I cant wait to start my dental career. Thanks AIDA I feel completely prepared. I Heart AIDA!
Amie
From the 1st time I called to get more information on AIDA, everyone in the office was so inviting and sweet. I felt very welcomed. I had nowhere for my 4 year old to go while I toured the school and they welcomed him.
Jenesis
The AIDA team was all super friendly and welcoming. Clinics were the best part. The hands on learning gave me more knowledge and experience in 13 weeks than longer schooling. Thank you AIDA!
Alexandra Accardo
I really enjoyed this school! Coming to class was always really fun and all the instructors are knowledgeable and very willing to help! I also loved the fact that they allow you to come in and practice on your own time. I do wish we had more clinical time, but the school did a great job fitting in as many clinicals as they did with the 13 weeks they had. I would highly recommend this school to anyone wanting a career as a dental assistant! I can’t wait to start!
Christina Duran
AIDA is an amazing school for dental assisting! This school has a real world, hands on approach to teaching, which gives its students a true sense of confidence. The teachers and the staff take their time to get to know each individual student. I am so grateful for the knowledge I have gained after attending this school. After 13 weeks of class, I am feeling ecstatic and ready to begin my journey into the fun and interesting field of dental assisting.
Brandi Prevett
Excellent program! The hands on training really makes the difference. The staff are fantastic and I would recommend the course to anyone!
Alexis Lockett
I really enjoyed coming to this school. It was worth coming every Friday from Yuma, AZ. All of the instructors were awesome and really helpful when I needed the help. I’m going to miss coming up here. Being able to work on actual patients was a lot of fun and I learned a lot doing that.
Jessica Richardson
This school is amazing! The instructors have been so helpful and caring throughout these past 13 weeks. I would definitely recommend AIDA as a first choice to anyone who is interested in a dental assisting school. I am so glad I chose this school over the other dental assisting schools in Arizona!
Makenzie Mosbaugh
I’m so blessed to have found this school and to have worked with the most amazing teachers and dentists. I learned more than I could have ever imagined! Thank you for all that you’ve done for me and for being a positive influence on my future!
Lizbeth Nunez
This has been the best experience ever. I never thought being a Dental Assistant would be an enjoyable job. My instructors, Tammy and Brenda, are really good at explaining and teaching the course. They are really patient and help you a lot. Holley and Benjamin are the nicest people in the world! The thing I liked most were clinic days because I got to practice what my instructors taught me. I really enjoyed these 13 weeks of school. The 3 hour drive from Yuma every week was worth it!
Jackie Andrada
I definitely have loved this school from day one. It’s been the best experience. By the end of the course you’ll leave knowing what you’re doing. Brenda, Tammy and working with the doctors was amazing. The teachers work with you on your weak areas and I loved that! I walked into a dental office for my internship and was complimented on how well the school taught me as a student. Definitely a BIG THANKS to Holley and Benjamin for getting me enrolled last minute.
Hannah Steele
I loved this school! Best 13 weeks ever! This was such a great choice. All the teachers were very helpful and were willing to go above and beyond for us. The experience getting to work on real patients was amazing and very beneficial. I can’t wait for this new career!
Caitlin Helms
Happy I came here and not other schools. Love the experience I have received here. The instructors are filled with so much knowledge. The tutoring that was available to us was very helpful. For the long run, I would tell anyone who is wanting to become a Dental Assistant, to come to AIDA. I appreciate all of you!
Chelsey Ganem
I really loved every part of this school. I feel like I learned so much. The clinic days were so much fun! Nothing better than hands on practice! Every teacher was so nice and helpful with anything we needed help with. I feel like I am ready for the real world.
Amara Black
I have only positive things to say about my 13 weeks at AIDA. I feel like my instructors and classmates will be lifelong friends. I would feel comfortable at any time calling any of the staff for help. The school has created such a comfortable atmosphere that has made learning so much fun! Tammy and Brenda are such kind, patient, FUN teachers. They always instructed positively and really took the time to make sure students were understanding the steps. I would recommend this school to anyone.
