8 Week Dental Assistant Course
Course Description and Objectives
Description:
The 8-Week Dental Assisting Program is a 8-week dental assistant hands on course, taught in a working dental facility. This allows full access to all dental instruments and equipment. Because it is a hands-on course, we cover a lot in a short amount of time. There is a 40 hour externship following the 8 weeks. With so many high paying positions available in Dental Assisting, why not hit the ground running with a dental assisting education that is accelerated and yet thorough.
This program is offered in Carson City and Reno, Nevada, Denver, Broomfield and Grand Junction, Colorado.
This Program includes training and certification in dental X-Rays that meets the requirement of Colorado and Nevada. The Program also includes CPR certification. Graduates are eligible to become a nationally recognized CERTIFIED DENTAL ASSISTANT after working in a dental office for 2 years.
Objectives:
After graduating from the Dental Assisting Program, students will be able to assist the dentist chairside using standard dental assisting procedures. Students will also be able to expose a diagnostic quality radiographic survey (take quality x-rays), take impressions, make a bleaching tray, sterilize instruments and disinfect the operating area and other standard procedures.
