We're new. But we're not just another dental assisting school.
For Dr. Im, it all started after losing his second 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. Im knew something had to change. So, he took action.
His vision?
A dental school that offers more than basic knowledge – a school that truly prepares you for the realities of the dental field.
