6 Best Dental Assistant Programs In Indianapolis, IN (2022 Updated)

Best dental assisting school ever. The school schedule fit perfectly with my college school schedule. The instructors especially Crystal and Candice were very knowledgeable and actually wanted all the students to be well educated, prepared and successful once out of school. I was very nervous and anxious of the school because of my past school instructors but I learned that the instructors were direct, unjudgmental, understanding and relatable. I definitely recommend this place for anyone who are wanting to gain experience in dental field but also to those who are indecisive of which health profession best suit them like me. This is the best place to start and explore. No regrets! best instructors and best school ever attended!!!! 😀 <3Albert Mang

Very professional and caring instructors. I’m glad I chose this dental assisting school over other schools in the area, because they really give you the individual time you need as a student , give professional advice, and cater the course to hands on skills you’ll need to be successful. You can tell they are very passionate about both their profession and helping students!Jessica OLeary

If you are searching for a career path, you should consider dental assisting! Crystal & Candice are the best! They are so helpful & both have great experience and so many tips that they share with you. They also are so willing to help and answer and questions you have! I feel so grateful that I found this school & I am so excited for my future in the dental field!Gretchen Messersmith

As I come to the end of my schooling, I can not brag about DOT enough!! They have truly made this learning experience one I’ll always refer back to! Lynn, Katie, And Denise put their all into what they are teaching, and I truly believe all have a passion for this field of work.They take their time every single day to make sure you not only understand what is being taught, but why it is important and how this applies to the “real world”. The type of “hands-on” approach they offer everyday truly helps the student feel so prepared for when they step out into their careers. If you’re interested in Dental Assisting and are willing to put in the effort, I would recommend Dental Office Training by Lynn every time!!Ashton Humphrey

Dental Office Training By Lynn has taught me so much knowledge when it comes to dentistry! I absolutely love the program and the teachers. I look forward to coming into class each day and could not be happier with the decision i have made to go to dental assisting school here! I highly recommend you stopping in at any time to see a little part of our day and what all it encounters. Fun environment and they both go out of their way to help you better understand the material, so that you are fully equipped to start in a dental office! A+ School 🙂Brittany Mallory

Dental Office Training by Lynn has been a great experience! I love that the class size is smaller, which makes it better for more one on one learning. The instructors are very knowledgeable about dentistry and come with a lot of real life experience to share with the students. If your wanting to start a new career in Dental Assisting, I highly recommend DOT by Lynn!!Becci Haskett

I want to say thank you so much for the awesome experience I got from this school!. Before I entered the DA class, I was so nervous to take this class because English is my second language, I was afraid I would not understand, however I really enjoyed the class and was able to pass. We practiced with real instruments and sometimes Dr. Singh came to teach us too. My instructor was awesome, she makes the material easy to understand! And right now I am taking a EFDA class!!! I feel confident and I am ready to work in this field soon! I strongly recommend this school for anyone who wants to become a dental assistant, You will not be disappointed!😃Piew Galinski

Best dental assisting school EVER! I had looked into others that were more expensive and required more time in the class room. Here, you meet once a week and the overall cost is quite low (and they offer payment plans). Dana was an amazing instructor. She made sure everyone understood the material given and would answer any questions you had. The class size is small which was great because you become quite comfortable with everyone. I will be coming back to take the expanded course!Hannah Reider

Let me start off by saying this program flew by so fast! There was so much to learn in which felt like so little of time. With that being said, Dana was an amazing instructor who guided us along the way and made sure we understood something before moving forward. She was very informative, laid-back, had a lot of patience, and answered any and all questions we had. I definitely recommend this course to anyone who is looking for a future career. It is definitely worth it!Annie Abels

You get what you pay for! This course is somewhat cheap in comparison to other dental courses offered by other schools. It is definitely fast paced so be prepared to move along pretty quick and to teach yourself most of the material. This is mostly because of the teacher to student ratio and how fast the program goes. There is no communication between instructors of what was done in the classes prior, and they just keep moving on with the next subject whether you have learned or not. There is no outline of what chapters to read before class to better prepare for the lecture of the day/week. And honestly, they make you buy this book which really you don't need because all of the homework questions come from quizlet. The campus manager, Rana takes about 3 weeks to respond to the student's emails and any questions about grades and or homework gets directed to "student success" aka Rana or the course bot chat. One of my class mates was almost not allowed to enter class due to not having the correct paperwork on file on class 10/12. Almost after the course was done for and the money payed for. Instructor Jenae was the best instructor and really explained everything thoroughly. She made class fun and enjoyable! In the other hand instructor Lindsey, would take off points for asking questions about subjects we had not learned yet and deemed it as we needed to pay more attention when in reality they needed better communication skills as to what they taught in each class prior (instructors alternate teaching class each week). The other instructors were decent. They constantly ask students to only give 5 star reviews so that people keep enrolling into their program. They usually ask during class 1 or 2 before it goes down hill and students start to complain. Overall the program gives you a quick rundown of what being a dental assistant is about, which gets the job done I guess. It is a semi cheap and fast paced course, but you get what you pay for.Janeth Mendoza

Do yourself a favor and go to a school where corporate actually cares about the well being of their students and not just money. They hire just anyone to teach the class as long as they’ve worked in the dental field without thoroughly screening them. I loved a few of my instructors but a few of them were extremely rude at times. The person you are supposed to reach out to for questions/student success during the duration of the program never responds in a timely manor or just doesn’t respond at all. Most unorganized class I’ve ever experienced in my entire life. Communication is definitely lacking. They don’t prepare you for the radiology exam. They don’t cover the cost of your books. When you contact corporate they do the bare minimums for you. You pay nearly 4,000$ in tuition for a class where you are teaching yourself so much because everything is so unorganized. Let’s not forget to mention the fact that corporate just allows classes to be at full capacity with only two instructors which does not allow adequate education training for students because of the teacher to student ratio. We finally had a third instructor join but it wasn’t until week 5 I believe which by then it’s too late because we all are lacking knowledge we should have learned within those weeks. They email you a certificate of completion you don’t even get a hard copy anymore like they falsely advertise in the pictures on their website of their students. They give you cheap scrubs. They paint this program out to be something perfect when really it’s nothing like what they falsely advertise. Would not recommend to anyone.Jessica Stewart

I absolutely LOVE our Campus Manager Lindsey! She has truly been a great help to everyone and is very easy to get in contact with and keep in contact with through any questions or needs that you may have. We have had a few hiccups in our class but she made everything feel better and everyone was very comfortable leaving each class knowing we had someone to always count on to help us through ! I truly recommend taking this course if you want a jump start in the Dental Field , you’ll learn a lot and take your knowledge from this class to the field or even exceed your education. But to the campus manager Ms.Lindsey I’ll speak for our class you were and are absolutely amazing we all will miss being students of yours !Nydia

Great experience! Instructor Jenae and instructor Lesley were great and made class super fun! I've gained a lot of knowledge and experience! I'm glad I decided to come back to school and develop my skills for the dental field!Kelcie Mcintosh
