The American Institute of Dental Assisting is unique
Due to the fact that the curriculum is designed to emphasize
actual hands on learning. You will assist the doctor in treating actual
patients in a high-tech dental environment.
You will
also learn
The technique of taking digital x-rays, both intraoral and
panographic. You learn the basics of
computerized charting with Dentrix, the most commonly used
dental software.
With the “hands on” experience
You will receive, you are better prepared to begin your career
as a dental assistant.
An important focus in our classes Is
to prepare our students to take the DANB (Dental Assisting
National Board) exams to become x-ray certified. We
emphasize the importance of preparing our students for these
exams, because in the State of Arizona a dental assistant
must be x-ray certified in order to take x-rays.
Becoming x-ray certified makes it possible for our graduates
to be better skilled and to earn higher wages in the dental
profession.
In 2009,
the American Institute of Dental Assisting was designated by
DANB as one of only 5 approved testing sites in Arizona. Go
