What Our Students Have To Say

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Dr. Anthony Skiadas, DMD, CEO

We’re new. But we’re not just another dental assisting school.

For Dr. Anthony Skiadas, it all started after opening his third private office location…

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. Skiadas  knew something had to change.

Besides finding quality employees, they wanted to share their enthusiasm for the dental field with their community. So, they 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.
