Dental Assistant Student Reviews
I wasn’t happy at the beginning of the course. The lack of personal and having clases with 14 students and only one teacher is insane and unpractical. We don’t get the one on one time we need to learn all these new things, even though the online information is detailed we missed a lot of hands on training during the majority of the classes. Mary, Nicole and Quintay made the last 3 weeks an amazing learning experience, they were really focused on us learning as much as we could and comprehending we were new to a lot of things even though we were on week 9 already. They are amazing teachers. Read less

Just finished my last day at HoustonDentalAssistantAcademy in Katy! Shout out to Dana and her team for making sure that I feel confident enough to pursue my future in the dental field. Classes were easy flowing even with all of the knowledge you have to learn. Your teacher stays in touch with you, and you never feel like you’re asking for too much help. This is a great school to see if the dental field is the right fit for you! 6 stars if I could, I recommend this school to anyone. Read less

Classes begin with a lecture and discussion, but most of the class time is spent in labs learning the essential dental assisting skills.

Dentists expect newly hired dental assistants to know fundamental skills. Our program focuses on helping you master those skills to set you up for success in your new career.

When you graduate from any dental assisting school you receive a certificate of completion. Many students ask if they can expect to make a higher starting salary if they attend a longer program. The starting salary for a Dental Assistant does not depend on how long you spent in school or how much you paid for your schooling.

Dental Assistants perform a variety of duties, including but not limited to assisting the dentist, carrying out clinical tasks, and completing administrative work.

Dental Assistants are responsible for making patients feel at ease while also preparing them for treatment. During dental visits, assistants often work alongside the dentist.

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), employment of dental assistants is projected to grow 6 percent from 2024 to 2034, faster than the average for all occupations. For more information, please visit the Bureau of Labor Statistics website.
