How Can DTC Change Your Life?

“I began the Dental Assisting Program with a mission: to make a change in my life. Not only has this school made a huge impact on my life and led me to success, they exceeded my expectations and beyond. I will forever be grateful for the school, the program, and the entire staff and faculty!”

Trudy

Dental Assisting Program Graduate

“My instructors went above and beyond to make sure I had all the tools and resources to jumpstart my career! I’m so thankful for them! My time at DTC was filled with hard work, determination, and a lot of motivation. Without my instructors and peers, I would not have the confidence and drive I have now to be this successful, career-driven woman.”

Jessica

Dental Assisting Program Graduate

“DTC changed my life. I was a 37-year-old mom of twp with no job and didn’t know what else to do with my life. One day I received something in the mailbox from DTC and decided to do a tour of the school. I really didn’t think I could do it, but with the support of the staff/teachers, I graduated with honors and a 4.0 GPA. To this day, I can’t believe I did it.”
