Latest Dental Technology
Learning with the CEREC scanner
We’re excited to let you know that our students are now learning with some of the latest dental technology — including the CEREC scanner! This digital tool lets you scan, design, and see how modern dental treatments are done, just like in real dental offices.
By working with the same tech used by top professionals, our students are building strong skills and feeling more confident and prepared for their future careers. At ASDA, we’re all about giving you the best tools, hands-on training, and opportunities to help you succeed in the dental field!
Online + On Campus
A modern approach with hybrid learning
The hybrid dental assistant training model offers a smart mix of digital study and physical practice. Handle the heavy lifting of your education through online classes — 12 comprehensive course modules covering everything from dental anatomy to OSHA standards — and review your lessons at home, at a pace that works for you.
While you study the theory online, you attend mandatory in-person clinicals: dental instruments, dental materials, X-rays, chairside assisting, sterilization, and much more. Hands-on training is held on campus one day a week for 12 weeks, followed by a 40-hour externship in a dental office to complete the program.

I took both the dental assisting and Orthodontic assisting portion and I absolutely loved both of those classes! My teachers were Blanca and Lisa and they were sooo much help throughout the whole 2 courses. They truly created a bond with me that wasn’t just a student/teacher bond. I look at them as family now and I will always be so thankful for everybody at ASDA❤️ Very fast and smooth course !!

Such a great school! With wonder staff and students! Desiree was such a help. I loved how she truly cares about her students. She wants to see them all succeed. Not only did she show us what dental assisting is but also personal skills to use in the work place. She is truly a blessing. I hope to stay in contact with her forever. She’s a great connection and a great mentor.
