Why Dental Assisting?

The dental field is growing and highly-trained and knowledgeable assistants are in high demand.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the dental assisting field is projected to grow by 19% from 2016 to 2026, which is much faster than the average job growth in other occupations. OceanPointe Dental Academy can teach you the dental theory and real-world skills you need to find success with this fast-growing career.

At OceanPointe you will learn everything you need to know in our 10-week course to start a successful career in dental assisting.

Dental assistants play an important role in every successful dental office.

The core focus of dental assisting work is on patient care, often preparing patients for examinations and procedures or working alongside the dentist when treating patients.

It is not uncommon for students to find work before the program ends. We will help you land the job that will be perfect as the first step for your new career.
