We're new. But we're not just another dental assisting school.
- For Dr. Vegesana, it all started after losing his third dental assistant within a couple of months…
- After talking with other dentists in the area, he found they were having similar experiences and realized a troubling trend.
- Dental assistants graduating from nearby schools were not prepared for their roles.
- Dr. Vegesana knew something had to change. So, he took action.
- A dental school that offers more than basic knowledge – a school that truly prepares you for the realities of the dental field.
