DAI is an accelerated and fast-paced dental assistant training program approved by the Texas Workforce commission. Our comprehensive program is designed to teach students the basics skills of dental assisting in just ten weeks, with a special emphasis in extensive chairside hands-on training with a dentist and actual patients.

Students in will be immersed in the most important phases of assisting that dentists look for when hiring, such as taking quality x-rays, impressions, fabricating temporary crowns, and how to communicate with all types of patients in a comfortable and relaxed manner. With dedicated time for hands-on experience both chairside with a doctor and in the lab, our students can reach a higher level of ability than just classroom lectures alone.

Tuition includes all texts, supplies, uniforms, CPR training, professional cleaning by a registered dental hygienist, whitening trays and solution. 90% of the course is taught by the dentist owner.

Dental Assisting

Our dental assistant school program is very detailed in scope and designed to provide our students with a comprehensive background in dental assisting. Because of this commitment, we cover a wide variety of subject matter in our school classes, spending extra time with additional emphasis on certain subjects. As an example, each student will take multiple impressions using different materials, and also make several temporary crowns and bridges. Learning to perform these important procedures requires practice and repetition. Our students are challenged to learn everything possible about their future job responsibilities. A dental assistant to whom the doctor can confidently delegate many important tasks will quickly become a very valuable asset to any office. Students who achieve that level of skill are the graduates who will truly be successful and happy in this great career.
