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.

Organization is one of the most valuable skills a dental assistant can develop. Knowing where instruments are, preparing trays correctly, and staying ahead of the procedure keeps everything flowing smoothly.

Moments like this are funny, but they also remind us how important daily oral care really is. Dental assistants help educate patients, support healthy habits, and create a judgment free space where people feel comfortable asking questions about their dental health.

Behind every joke is a chance to help someone improve their smile and confidence. That is part of what makes this career both meaningful and memorable.

Building a new career is not about one perfect day, it is about showing up again and again, even when things feel new or challenging. Every skill you practice, every question you ask, and every step forward adds up.

At Dental Careers Institute, we see students grow through consistency, support, and hands on learning. Small efforts each week turn into real confidence in the clinic.

Week 7 has always been a fun time and this past week was no exception! We discussed all things crown and bridge and then rolled up our sleeves and made some temporaries during clinic. The students also continue to master digital X-rays and familiarize themselves with intra oral cameras. We are hitting the home stretch with Week 8; Endo !

Some programs stay in the classroom too long. At DCI, learning feels like the real dental office because that is exactly what it is. From early on, students work in a clinical setting so nothing feels unfamiliar on the job.

Confidence grows when learning feels real, not rehearsed. Ready to step into a hands on career path, check our bio for program details.
