Our Mesa Dental Assistant Program Overview

Our Mesa location is all about preparing you for your future. Whether you have some experience in dental practices or you’re entirely new to the field, we deliver the comprehensive education you need through:

• Real doctors: Our institute of higher learning is more than a school — it’s a fully operational dental clinic where students gain hands-on experience with real patients taught by dentists. You’ll work with staff who have years of experience, so you can learn from them up close.
• Real patients: Our Mesa dental assistant program gets you out of the classroom and into the office, where you can gain experience that will benefit you in practices around the country. Your instructors will collaborate with you on real patient cases, allowing you to build confidence in your experience.
• Real-world experiences: Dental assisting is about more than supporting a dentist from the chair. You’ll also be responsible for taking X-rays, completing administrative tasks and more. By working in an active practice, you gain experience in every area of your future career, ensuring you are ready to do anything your future employers require of you.
