info & tuition
Hello
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
What makes Us Unique?
1.We are the only school in Utah with the most hands on program due to our licensed dentists that help our students learn!
Do we offer Coupons?
2.Most schools will offer coupons to get you to enroll. We offer no such coupon because we understand our value and our commitment to you! We will help you outside of class if you request any extra help. Even after graduation. Need a resume? We'll help too! Let us help you enroll in our amazing program! We teach you what you need to know to gain employment! It's that simple.
Do the dentists run a dental practice and do the school as a side hobby?
3.There is a discounted clinic ONLY for the students. It is not for the dentist's practice to gain patients. We only see patients at the school if the students are going to assist the dentist.
It is a win for the community and a win for the students!
How much do you charge for Exams?
4.Depending on the date around our student and dentists schedules, we offer free dental exams when our students are assisting the dentist.
About the school.
5. We have our own dedicated classroom and dedicated dental operatories, to better teach students.
Why Should I join your dental assisting program?
6.There is no better Program! We are the best school out there!
This is the reason students travel from Logan, Idaho, St. George and other states. We are dedicated to you! Day & Night!
Why you shouldn't pay for an Orthodontic Course or Office Management Course in addition to a dental assisting course.
7. Many offices want you to know the basics and often once you have the skills down of a dental assistant, we have learned, from our graduates, that offices will help mold and train and guide you to be the best you can at your dental office. While we teach you the basics, many of our students have been hired at specialty offices like Orthodontics, Oral Sugery, Pediatrics, and have even been cross trained on the job with offices needing help with insurance, billing and office management.
If you're considering paying extra for extra courses, DON'T.
8.Don't pay those extra fees for school. All you need is the basic dental assisting program that serves you very well!! We give you enough basics here to get your foot in the door for other avenues and opportunities.
Do you accept Pre-Dental (Pre Dentist) and Pre-Dental Hygiene Students?
9.All the time! They are wonderful! And we encourage anyone looking to advance their career by taking this pathway before dental and dental hygiene school.
Will you forget about me when I graduate?
10.Never! We will remember you and you can reach out at anytime. Text us 24/7 If we're awake, we'll answer.
