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.

Program Overview
To work as a dental assistant, you must complete a 50-hour hands-on internship, which is now complemented by our hybrid online training program. This innovative approach combines practical experience with flexible online learning. At Pacific Northwest Dental Assisting School, you have the option to complete your internship on-site if you choose at our affiliated Camas dental practice, while also engaging in comprehensive online courses. You’ll work alongside a dentist and learn the practical skills needed for a fast-paced dental office, and at the same time, access a wealth of online resources and support to deepen your understanding. Our experienced dental staff, including graduates of our dental assisting programs, will provide guidance both in-person and online. Unlike other dental assistant schools in Vancouver, Camas, and Portland, which may require you to search for your own internship, we guarantee you an internship at our practice. This, along with our hybrid online training, allows you to focus on your studies and skill development, ensuring you succeed and become a well-rounded 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 !”
