I had such an amazing experience with Lubbock Dental Assistants! The staff is incredibly supportive and genuinely cares about helping every student succeed. The hands-on training gave me so much confidence for real-world dental work, and the environment is always positive and encouraging. Amanda, the instructor, is absolutely fantastic—she explains everything clearly, motivates you to do your best, and makes learning fun. You can really tell she loves what she does and wants her students to succeed. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to start a rewarding career in dental assisting! 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!

The time it takes to become a Dental Assistant varies between schools and certificate programs. Our curriculum is 12-weeks long and fully prepares students to start working as a Dental Assistant.

This is a hands-on program, a different approach from traditional education. Our classes take place in a dental office rather than a classroom.

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.
