Dental Careers Institute

Dental Careers Institute Started in 1987, Dental Careers is the oldest and most experienced dental assisting program of its kind in Atlanta. Classes meet every week for 10 weeks.

You will be taught in an actual practicing dental office and learn from dental professionals who practice and teach the most current up-to-date methods. We offer classes on Friday, Saturday and weeknights. Friday and Saturday classes meet from 8:30AM to 5PM and the weekday group meets on Tuesday AND Wednesday from 6-9:30 PM.. Everything is included in the tuition: all books, uniform scrubs, equipment, materials, clinical supplies, home study materials, referral service. We have a teacher-to-student ratio of 1 instructor for every 4 students in the clinic. There is NO OTHER school in Atlanta which can match that teacher to student ratio of personalized attention. We have had many students transfer to our school from other local “year long” programs saying, “I got tired of sitting in a classroom for 8 months and never working in any clinical setting!!” Our students are working in a real dental office clinical environment from the VERY FIRST DAY. There are several dental assisting programs to choose from in the Atlanta area. Some of them will NOT give you the cost of their program over the phone or in their literature. Can you really trust them to provide you with a quality teaching program? We also won't waste your time teaching you subjects that do nothing more than inflate the program to 6-12 months to justify a tuition of $18,000. Our program provides hands-on clinical experience the first day. Which program do you think would be a better learning experience? Our lecture room uses state-of-the-art audio-visual PowerPoint™ equipment to make the learning experience both interesting and enjoyable. The lecture and clinic sessions are held at our dental office which has the absolute latest in dental technology, including digital xrays, CEREC CAD-CAM, and state-of-the-art treatment room equipment.

Love seeing smile transformations? Dental assisting can lead you into orthodontics, where you’ll help patients through braces, aligners, and confidence-boosting change.

You’ll learn the core foundation at DCI, then grow your specialty with time, experience, and opportunity.

The path starts here.

POV: You finally manage to put gloves on without ripping them or wearing them inside out. You feel like a legend.

Gloving up sounds simple, but every dental assistant remembers their first few awkward attempts. At DCI, we turn those moments into wins through daily practice, real repetition, and a little humor.

By week three, you’re already diving into real clinical skills. You’ll start taking impressions, assisting with tray setups, and learning how to support during simulated procedures. Every task builds confidence, coordination, and speed, skills employers expect from day one.

You won’t just observe. You’ll do. That’s the DCI difference.

Radiology is one of the most technical, hands-on parts of your DCI education. You’ll learn how to safely expose and process both film and digital X-rays, how to use Rinn holders, how to care for the darkroom, and how to follow state regulations.

It’s not just about passing certification. It’s about knowing how to use equipment confidently in a real dental practice.

Dental assisting school moves fast, especially when the program is only 10 weeks. Staying organized is key to keeping up.

Start by using a planner or digital calendar. Write down assignment deadlines, exam dates, and clinic days. Break study topics into small tasks and check them off daily.

💡 Bonus: Organize your instruments and materials in class the same way every time. This builds habits that save time and reduce stress later on.
