Testimonial

I looked very hard to find the correct Dental Assistant School for me and I am lucky I found Pacific Northwest Dental Assisting School. You will have an opportunity to do an internship and I highly suggest you take it. It’ll give you a unique experience to watch the professionals at work and eventually get the chance to participate in helping the dentist and dental assistants.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Find My Own Practice to Intern at?

Yes! If there’s a practice you’d prefer to work at, you’re welcome to complete your internship at the dental practice of your choice. Be aware that it is harder to intern in Oregon as you will not have the x-ray license that Oregon requires for Dental Assistants.

Can I Complete Internship Hours On the Weekends?

At our affiliated, on-site dental practice we only offer internship during weekday business hours.

After I Graduate, Can I Start Work Right Away? Every state has its own licensing requirements for Dental Assistants. However, it’s easy for graduates of Pacific Northwest Dental Assisting School to start working right away because there are no licensing requirements for most entry-level dental assistant jobs in the state of Washington. However, if you plan on working in Oregon, you’ll have to first work for 1,000 hours in Washington or pass a series of Oregon licensing exams. Your internship hours count towards the 1,000 hours of work experience.
How Will I Get Started in My Dental Assisting Career? When you complete your classroom training and internship at the Pacific Northwest Dental Assisting School, we help you with your job search. We help place many of our graduates with local dental practices. Almost 100% of our graduates begin working right away.
What Are the Entrance Requirements For Your Dental Assisting Program? We consider all applicants and look for potential students who will:
  1. Benefit from the classroom study, hands-on training, and professional experience we provide
  2. Be great additions to the dental profession
When evaluating candidates we will ask you for several character recommendations by personal and professional references. In addition, a high school diploma is required. No prior healthcare career experience, education, or training is needed. Many of our students have worked in unrelated fields like retail sales.
How Do I Apply? It’s easy to apply online. If you have questions about any aspect of the application process, contact us online or call us at (360) 818-7273.

Be aware that:

We do not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, nationality, or religion. In order to be accepted, applicants be able to perform the job of dental assisting. Due to the “fast track” nature of the program, late enrollment is not permitted.

Pacific Northwest Dental Assisting School is approved and regulated by the National School of Dental Assisting.
