Top-rated Dental Assisting School in Portland, OR and Vancouver, WA Metro Areas

Reach New Dental Assistant Career Heights With Real Patient Experience

Why Choose a Career as a Dental Assistant

Dentists in the Portland and Vancouver areas can’t do their jobs alone. They rely on their front office staff, dental hygienists, lab technicians, and dental assistants to provide outstanding care to their patients. As a dental assistant, you’ll help patients relax before treatment, sterilize dental equipment and prepare treatment rooms, assist dentists during procedures, schedule patient appointments, and help resolve billing and insurance issues.

Above all, you’ll ensure that all patients have an outstanding experience during their visit to the dentist! It’s a big responsibility. But with study at our dental assistant school classes and hands-on training from our experienced dental school instructors, you’ll be ready to succeed in your new career.

“All the procedures that the students learn in our classes are taught by getting hands-on dental assistant experience with the doctor.”

Program Overview

To work as a dental assistant, you must complete a 50-hour hands-on internship. You’ll work alongside a dentist and learn the practical skills you need to succeed in a fast-paced dental office. At Pacific Northwest Dental Assisting School, you will complete your internship at our on-site, affiliated Camas dental practice. You’ll work with our experienced dental staff, including graduates of our dental assisting programs. Other dental assistant schools in Vancouver, Camas and Portland may require you to search for your own internship. By guaranteeing you an internship at our practice, you’ll be able to focus on your studies and developing the skills you need to succeed and become a dental assistant.

“I came into PNWDAS so scared and anxious! I decided to switch careers and start something I’m actually passionate about. All of that went away after the first day. They all made me feel so welcomed and taught me almost everything that I would need to know. I am now a confident DA working already at an office! And I thank PNWDAS for giving me that push in the right direction! EVERYONE is amazing here!! 100\10 would recommend !”
