I had such a great experience at this dental assistant school. Ms. Nannette is truly one of the best teachers I’ve ever had. She explains everything clearly, is very hands-on, and always made sure we understood before moving on. She made class fun but still professional. I feel so prepared and confident going into the dental field because of her! Read less

Ms. Nannette and Ms. Amy truly deserve every bit of a 5-star rating. From day one, they’ve been supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping students succeed. They don’t just teach the material; they make sure everyone understands it, taking the time to explain concepts clearly and patiently. What stands out most is their passion and dedication. They create a positive, encouraging learning environment where questions are welcomed and mistakes are treated as opportunities to grow. Their teaching style keeps classes engaging and interactive, which makes a huge difference in staying motivated. Beyond academics, they show real care for their students’ well-being and future goals. It’s clear they go above and beyond, and that kind of commitment doesn’t go unnoticed. I feel lucky to have learned from such inspiring educators. Read less

Frequently Asked Questions

We don't accept financial aid, but we have some pretty great reasons why! The founder of our school, Dr. Ince, wanted to create an opportunity for those who desire to enter the field. He believed that students deserve not only a great education but also an affordable and convenient option. Rather than making our school more expensive in order to allow for financial assistance, Dr. Ince chose to keep tuition affordable, giving our students the opportunity to graduate with little to no student loan debt. If none of our payment plan options work for you, please give us a call. We are more than happy to customize a plan!
