About Our Program

South Alabama Dental Assisting Program

Our 10-week dental assisting program offers comprehensive training through a four-hour lecture followed by a four-hour hands-on clinical session each week. Under the guidance of experienced dental assisting instructors, you’ll receive personalized instruction that prepares you for real-world dental assisting careers.

This 80-hour program is designed to be accessible and affordable, providing a direct path to launching your career right here in Clarke County and the surrounding areas. We are proud to be the only dental assisting program in the region that trains students inside one of the area’s most advanced dental practices — not in a traditional classroom setting.

A Tested & Proven Method

Our program is led by dental professionals with over 20 years of proven success, teaching the latest techniques and technologies in dentistry. This hands-on training system helps you build practical skills fast.

Why spend $8,000–$10,000 and over a year in a technical school when you can train in a modern, state-of-the-art practice for a fraction of the cost?
