What Our Students Have To Say

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Dr. Christensen Sicat Hsu, School Director | Oral Surgeon | Instructor 

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

For Dr. Hsu, it all started after losing her third dental assistant within a couple of months…

After talking with other dentists in the area, she found they were having similar experiences and realized a troubling trend:

Dental assistants graduating from nearby schools were not prepared for their roles.

Dr. Hsu knew something had to change. So, she took action.

Her vision?

A dental school that offers more than basic knowledge – a school that truly prepares you for the realities of the dental field.
