OUR STORY
We are more than a school — we are a launchpad for careers, confidence,
and lifelong success in dentistry.
WHO WE ARE
The Dental Assisting and Team Institute was founded with one clear mission: to empower the next generation of dental health professionals with the real-world skills, clinical knowledge, and confidence they need to thrive.
Our eight-week Dental Assisting program combines in-person learning, online coursework and practical training in a dental office. Ask Andrea about the coursework, assessments and externship required for completion.
We don't just hand you a certificate. We build you into a professional.

Our instructors bring decades of real clinical and teaching experience into every single class.

Your externship is a total of 60 hours to be completed in a dental office. We would love for you to partner with our very own Dr. Rudnick or one of our affiliates close to you. You can complete this during the program by utilizing another day in the week for your externship hours. In this way you will complete the program at the end of the 8 weeks with all required hours. If you will be unable to complete externship at the same time as the program then we will give you an additional 3 months to complete those hours and meet the program’s externship requirement.
Ask Andrea for the current school license and the approval documentation for the specific program you plan to take. Review the approved training and completion requirements before enrolling.
