Hands-on training one day a week inside a working practice — so you can build a profession without putting your life on hold.
Clinical and administrative skill in one curriculum — chairside assisting, radiography, sterilization, and patient care.
You learn the work in a practice that is seeing patients, so what you practice is what today's dental offices actually need.
A network of area dental offices and employer partners carries graduates from student to hired professional.
I'm a practicing dentist and the founder of River Valley Dental Assisting Academy. I built this program to train the next generation of dental assistants the way a working practice actually needs them trained.
Graduates of ours have gone on to become dental hygienists; one is a dentist today, another an oral surgeon. I'd be glad to help you begin your own path in this profession.

The dentist whose practice the academy runs inside. He built the program around what a working office actually expects of an assistant on day one.
