Dental Careers Institute

Dental Careers Institute Started in 1987, Dental Careers is the oldest and most experienced dental assisting program of its kind in Atlanta. Classes meet every week for 10 weeks.

You will be taught in an actual practicing dental office and learn from dental professionals who practice and teach the most current up-to-date methods. We offer classes on Friday, Saturday and weeknights. Friday and Saturday classes meet from 8:30AM to 5PM and the weekday group meets on Tuesday AND Wednesday from 6-9:30 PM.. Everything is included in the tuition: all books, uniform scrubs, equipment, materials, clinical supplies, home study materials, referral service. We have a teacher-to-student ratio of 1 instructor for every 4 students in the clinic. There is NO OTHER school in Atlanta which can match that teacher to student ratio of personalized attention. We have had many students transfer to our school from other local “year long” programs saying, “I got tired of sitting in a classroom for 8 months and never working in any clinical setting!!” Our students are working in a real dental office clinical environment from the VERY FIRST DAY. There are several dental assisting programs to choose from in the Atlanta area. Some of them will NOT give you the cost of their program over the phone or in their literature. Can you really trust them to provide you with a quality teaching program? We also won't waste your time teaching you subjects that do nothing more than inflate the program to 6-12 months to justify a tuition of $18,000. Our program provides hands-on clinical experience the first day. Which program do you think would be a better learning experience? Our lecture room uses state-of-the-art audio-visual PowerPoint™ equipment to make the learning experience both interesting and enjoyable. The lecture and clinic sessions are held at our dental office which has the absolute latest in dental technology, including digital xrays, CEREC CAD-CAM, and state-of-the-art treatment room equipment.

Impression week is here! Although scanners have become increasingly popular, impressions are still a very important part of creating dental records. For the next 2 weeks we will teach our students how to take the perfect impression, create study models from them, and everything we use them for. Get ready, it might get a little messy!

One of the most valuable skills you can bring into any dental office is the ability to set up trays quickly, correctly, and confidently.

At Dental Careers Institute, we teach you not only what each instrument is but when and why it’s used. From the mirror and explorer to the suction tip and curing light, you'll learn the exact order of setup for each type of procedure.

Why does it matter? Because efficient instrument setup saves the dentist time, reduces stress during appointments, and shows you're clinic-ready from day one.
