Cost Comparison: Your Options

When it comes to becoming a dental assistant, you have choices. But not all paths offer the same value. Here's how the numbers compare:

The Real Cost of Waiting

Every month you spend in a longer program is a month you're not earning a dental assistant salary. Dental assistants in the U.S. earn a median salary of $46,540 per year. By completing your training in 12 weeks instead of 1-2 years, you could earn $46,000+ more during the time others are still in school.

Pay in Full

Pay $4,550 upfront and save on payment plan fees. This is the most popular option for students who want to keep costs as low as possible.

Today we practiced suctioning saliva on each other and many more things. It was fun and helped me feel more confident. My favorite part was getting hands on practice and working with my classmates.
