About our Dental Assistant Program
The program prepares students to assist the dentist. Dental assistants may carry out a variety of laboratory, clinical and office duties. Classes are held on Saturdays from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.

The graduate receives a certificate and is prepared to become a Registered Dental Assistant.  A Registered Dental Assistant must first pass the Texas State Board of Dental Examiner's Registered Dental Assistant Exam.  The Exam includes sections on Radiology, Jurisprudence and Infection Control.

The subjects are covered using class room instruction and practical hands-on training with the equipment, instrumentation and materials used in a state of the art practicing dental office.
