The college operates a dental clinic that is open to the public on Thursdays and Fridays, and is staffed with a dentist, dental hygienist, clinic manager, clinical instructor, dental assistant, and dental assistant students. The clinic provides students with clinical experiences, including 4-handed expanded function chair-side practice and equipment maintenance using mixed delivery systems.
The clinic fully incorporates the technology of infection control and dental software.
Students are expected to complete the national certification exam (Dental Assistant National Board) or meet other comparable certification requirements by program completion.
