Become a dental assistant

Special to the Surveyor

Academy for Dental Assisting Careers (ADAC) has been training Dental Assistants in Colorado for over 25 years. We had a humble start with our first class in a small Colorado town and a few eager students. From there, our small school began to grow. We found ourselves hosting more classes, adding new locations and expanding our offerings.

The students loved their experience with us so much, they kept coming. All along the way, it is our love for the dental field and commitment to our students that energizes us individually and as a school community. Engaging with our students, watching them grow and supporting their dream of being successful assistants is why we do what we do.

We teach the basic skills of assisting and focus on the core knowledge points that Dental Assistants use every day. Our classes are structured for entry-level students with little or no dental experience, and for those who are currently practicing dentistry and would like to further their education, earning power and career flexibility.

Fast forward 25 years and we now have four locations along the Front ange. Our relationships in the field are diverse and deep. We look at our network of other professionals as more than just industry relationships but as an extension of the ADAC family. Our instructors are actively working in the field and bring a wealth of experience and skills to our classrooms. They are teachers, guides and mentors to all of our students. The small and intimate class sizes allow us to focus on students individually. No student is ever a number with us, we get to know them all. ADAC has modernized how we teach using the most current technology and transitioning to a hybrid style teaching method. Hands-on training for all students is located inside a real working dental office. ou can’t duplicate that in a lab or online. Allowing our students to become familiar and comfortable with an office environment propels them toward success from their first day. Dental assistants are in demand now more than ever. The tremendous growth in the field is driving the need for more assistants every year. Our top priority is always our students. In or out of the classroom, we are there supporting and cheering them on and celebrating their victories. The wonderful graduates who have chosen us to help them start their careers have said many times that it was the best decision they ever made. They learned a lot, had some fun and made some friends along the way. The hard work was worth it and they loved it. As our students succeed, we succeed.

The school was nominated by the Longmont Chamber for Best Small usiness of the ear, and we have received a old Star Certification by the Better Business Bureau.
