If you’re ready to launch a career in the dental field, there’s no need to wait years to get started. At Modern Dental Career of Cumming, our 13-week Dental Assistant Program is designed to give you the hands-on training, real-world experience, and professional certification you need to enter the workforce quickly—with confidence.

🎯 Why 13 Weeks?

In just over three months, you’ll receive a comprehensive education that balances classroom instruction with practical skills. We’ve eliminated the fluff and focused on what really matters in today’s dental offices—preparing you to assist chairside, handle instruments, support procedures, and communicate effectively with both patients and team members.

Whether you’re fresh out of school or looking for a career change, this accelerated format gives you the opportunity to start earning faster, without compromising the quality of your training.

🛠 What You’ll Learn

Our 13-week program covers:

  • Dental terminology and anatomy

  • Infection control & sterilization protocols

  • Chairside techniques and patient prep

  • X-ray safety and radiographic techniques (with certification)

  • Impressions, tray setups, suctioning, and instrument handling

  • Front-office basics like charting and scheduling

Plus, you’ll receive:

  • Radiology Certification

  • CPR Certification

  • Externship Placement with a local dental office (36 hours minimum)

đŸ§‘â€âš•ïž Hands-On Training That Matters

Classes are held once a week on Saturdays, making this program flexible for working adults or parents. Our small class sizes allow for one-on-one instruction, and you’ll train in a real clinical setting—not just a simulated classroom.

We believe that the best way to learn is by doing, and that’s why your instructors are experienced dental professionals committed to giving you personal guidance and insight into the day-to-day life of a working dental assistant.

📈 What Happens After Graduation?

By the end of the program, you’ll have all the foundational skills needed to pursue entry-level roles in general dentistry, pediatric, and specialty practices. Our career support team assists with:

  • Resume building

  • Interview prep

  • Job search strategy

  • Professional networking with local practices

And while we can’t guarantee employment, our graduates consistently find positions quickly—many right out of their externships.
