6 Best Dental Assistant Programs In Oklahoma City, OK (2022 Updated)

Custom dental assisting school has been so awesome! I am in my final week and will be graduating next week from Purcell (fall 2021).It has been one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. The instructor Tonya and assistant Savanna are amazing and will teach you everything you could possibly need to know about dental assisting, while being super kind to everyone. I am so grateful for custom dental assisting school and the opportunities that are ahead of me thanks to them!Baylee Palmer

I highly recommend this school! We do book work in the morning and go do what we learned in the afternoon. Going to different dental offices is great to learn hands on, it really helped me feel confident going into this career field. My instructors are amazing, they make sure you understand what we are learning and if you don’t, they will take the time to explain it to where you do. This class was super fun as well! Tonya and Savanna are the best instructors hands down.Kashyn Haynes

This school is amazing! The drive was a little over an hour for me but I am so glad I attended Custom Dental school in Purcell… Tonya is an amazing teacher! I feel I learned so much and the hands on is awesome! Tonya made it fun and interesting and was great with detail and explaining things! I HIGHLY recommend Custom Dental of Purcell to anyone interested in a Dental Assisting career!Sarah McCollough

Lead by doctor's & instructors that are young but still offer more years of experience than some students are old says a lot in the dental field. MIO Dental is built by doctor's that want to show understanding & compassion are the first of top priority's. Yes, getting the curriculum is a major factor & it is tough but there's doctor's & instructors that go above & beyond for student's that really want/need to have a better future no matter what obstacles come up… "TOGETHER" that's a life long power team & that is priceless! I would pay almost any price for that again anytime! ANY life skill improvement means speaking up & asking for help when I needed it & meant being prepared for some level of vulnerability because I was learning a lot of new things. Instructors aren't pushy or judgemental to anyone, they expect us to pay attention, participate & to study… it is actually a school for learning! A 13 week self accelerated course with a hands on lab every class as long as I was prepared so… I decided if I sink or swim. Everyone gets the same books & MIO Dental has open door policy to tablets Mon – Sat office hours so we all have the same online access to get the same lectures. Even after graduation the same open door policy is there to help with getting a job, just have to ask for help. I know I made the perfect choice for me! MIO Dental… No regrets!K. Lewis

I love MIO! Everyone is so nice and they don’t pick favorites. The doctors are very helpful. The only way they wouldn’t be is if you don’t want to learn, they’re not gonna waste their time if that’s the case. Which is completely okay. (I wouldn’t want to try and teach someone who doesn’t want to learn either.) Anyway it’s an awesome school and I already got a job three months before graduating, and I’ll be attending dental hygiene next year. They really do care about everyone individually and want to see you succeed. If you’re gonna do dental assisting, go here. Other places just try to get you through the program so they can have a higher graduation rate. MIO instructors and doctors dedicate their time to help you grow in the ways you need and to succeed educationally. MIO is the best in Oklahoma!Lydia Jones

I would HIGHLY recommend MIO Dental Careers! It is an short 13 week program taught by currently practicing dentist that I would trust with my own family and friends! I, myself, was taught by Dr. Van Horn and couldn't have imagined a better teacher and role model! Her patience and skills in teaching are astounding. I have had the privilege of working with her as well as meeting the other professors at MIO and their professionalism and love for teaching is so apparent. I encourage any and everyone even thinking about a career in the dental field to at least schedule a tour! The school is a beautiful facility with amazing hands-on training with the dental office right next door! Becoming a dental assistant is the best decision I have ever made and I hope you fall in love as I did!Jacobi Rose

Dr Wheatley seems like a great dentist that means well. He helped me out over the phone by calling in some antibiotics since my tooth was infected. But he knew I had soonercare and most people with soonercare are low income and he told me he would work with me if I come in so I agreed because my tooth desperately needs to come out. Unfortunately to get it pulled plus the X-ray and exam it was almost $600 which I did not have, so I had no procedure done at all and still had to pay almost $300 which that was how much I was able to save up to have my tooth removed but I had to give it to his clinic when I wasn’t even able to get my tooth removed and I wasn’t even offered a payment plan like previously mentioned over the phone. I really feel like you should discuss pricing with patients before the exam and X-ray especially when you knew you couldn’t accept my insurance, I feel like I was bullied into paying that when I wasn’t even told how much it was going to cost. So I guess I’m back at square one. By the way everybody was very nice to me especially the receptionist she was the sweetest and just doing her job. Just please start discussing pricing with the uninsured patients before the bill starts racking up. Thanks.Justin Bowser

Dr. Wheatley and his staff are absolutely fantastic! A few weeks before Christmas I thought I had broken my wisdom tooth and wanted to get it taken care of asap. It was a Friday and I was starting a new job on Monday. I had called several other offices to get an emergency appointment, even places that advertised for emergencies and best I got was two weeks out before calling Tecumseh Ridge Dental. Dr. Wheatley was willing to see me that day, and after evaluating my tooth he even stayed late to perform the much needed extraction. I had never had an extraction before, so I was a little anxious. Dr. Wheatley was as advertised, he talked me through the procedure and I experienced little to no pain. I will be going here for all my dental needs for now on. Thank you Dr. Wheatley for going the extra mile to help a guy out in need.Michael Ponce

After going to 4 different dentist and being rejected to fix my molar. I called Dr.Wheatly office and they got me right in. The staff was so nice and helpful. Dr Wheatly was amazing! We talked about what needed to be done, came up with a plan, talked about payment before any work was done. He did a root canal on my tooth and was very gentle. He turned on Christian music which helped calm me down and went work! I love that he cares for his patients and if he can save your teeth that’s what he would want to do. He’s honestly the best dentist I’ve ever been to. And he might not know this but he and his staff are stuck me and my family! Lol They are such a blessing! Thank you Dr. Wheatly and staff! God bless you all!!Sherry Coughran

If you are interested in a career in dental assisting, but don’t have the time to attend school full time, then this is the perfect opportunity for you! It’s only 12 weeks, and the information and tools this program provides you with in such a short amount of time, is worth every penny! They truly care about each student, and want each person to succeed!Stephanie Castleberry

FDC is such an amazing school that has so much to offer. Having hands on experience with a staff that is so helpful has been one of the best and rewarding experiences. Thank you Mrs. Steele and Dr. Cohlmia for all the support and knowledge.Taylor Hardcastle

Dr. Cohlmia, Melissa, and Duke all helped me during clinicals while attending their school. They all made sure I felt comfortable working as a DA before graduation! I feel like I learned everything I needed to be successful at my career. 🙂Kristina Simons

Jess and Alex are two amazing instructors teaching this class for 11 weeks. If you struggle with certain criteria, they’re more than happy to help you feel confident in those areas!
