Curriculum and Format
The program covers essential dental assistant competencies through classroom instruction and hands-on training. Topics include sterilization, infection control, dental anatomy, radiology, tray setup, oral hygiene, and four-handed assisting techniques. In addition to lectures and lab-based skills development, students take part in a 40-hour externship for real-world experience. Those who graduate in the top 10% of their class may be eligible for a direct externship opportunity with MINT Dentistry—a unique partnership that opens potential employment doors right after graduation.
Students receive a Certificate of Completion and are guided through the process of obtaining their official RDA license from the Texas State Board of Dental Examiners. Exams included in the tuition are the BLS (CPR) certification, the Nitrous Oxide Monitoring exam, and the Registered Dental Assistant test. Classes are offered on a flexible schedule, with multiple campuses throughout Texas and payment plan options that allow students to break tuition into manageable installments.
