Atlanta Dental Assistant School

Atlanta Dental Assistant School, Gwinnett Dental Career Academy, offers dental assisting instruction in a Saturday Only, 10-week dental assisting program that is designed to teach basic skills that prepare graduates for an entry level position as a sterilization tech, hygiene assistant or chair-side dental assistant in a general dental or specialty office.

Graduates of the Dental Assisting program will still have much to learn on the job, and may later want to take an expanded duties course to expand their skills and qualifications. The goal of this program is to create a stepping stone to allow the dental assistant graduate to seek initial employment in a dental office and decide if that is the best career path for them without having to make a large investment in time or money.

Graduates of the program will receive a certificate of completion with Georgia Department of Human Resources Radiology Certification, and an American Heart Association Healthcare Providers CPR Certificate.  The Radiology Certification and CPR card are the only certificates that are required for dental assistants in the State of Georgia.
