Have You Considered A Career as A Dental Assistant? As a Dental Assistant, you can earn good money with nice benefit packages in many cases. A Dental Assistant career allows you to work anywhere in the United States, plus the demand for Dental assistants is growing by leaps and bounds! There are many reasons why it makes sense to think about beginning Dental Assistant training.
This class of students are a fantastic, enthusiastic group ready to accomplish their goals! Thank you for choosing Elite! We have been posting pictures from this class so friends and family can get a good idea of the dedication and hard work they put in this semester!
Are you multilingual and want to start dental assistant training? With many diverse cultures in the Portland/Vancouver metropolitan area, there is always a need and request for students who speak different languages. We have had many students who speak two, three and even four languages! Speaking multiple languages is always an asset to any career, and especially for Dental assistants.
One of our first classes at Elite Dental Assisting Academy is a hands on, scenario based, sweat breaking, down and compressing CPR class. If you’ve ever taken a CPR class where the teacher is throwing out different “choking” or “lack of breathing” scenarios, you’ll understand the feeling of jumping for joy because you think you’ve revived that dummy only to see it’s found something else to choke on before you can finally pass the test! There is no falling asleep during this fast paced hands on CPR session, and you can see by the photos the students are not only learning but having a fun time!

What a fantastic experience. It had everything I could have asked for! It was fast and busy, but I had help if I needed it. It was within my budget, but I never felt like the effort put forth toward my education was cheap.
Kristin helped me prepare for exactly what I needed to get into the work force, and because I worked hard, I got a dental assistant job before graduating! A small class meant more focus on individuals, and I made some friends that I hope I keep in contact with.
Elite has been a complete dream come true for me. When I came into this program I was scared, unsure and hesitant to start this fast paced program. The first night in class, all my fears were gone and I knew this was the best school I could have enrolled in.
Now, after 13 short weeks. I am a Dental Assistant!! If it weren’t for my amazing teacher and everyone involved in Elite, I wouldn’t be where I am today. All I can say is that if you are thinking about coming to Elite… DO IT! You won’t regret your decision 🙂
I GOT HIRED BEFORE I GRADUATED! Along with many of my classmates, we learned the skills and knowledge needed to become a dental assistant and got a dental assisting job before we even graduated.
Elite Dental Assisting Academy is amazing! They have an awesome instructor, great classroom out of an actual dental office with great equipment for learning.
I highly recommend this program if you are thinking of becoming a dental assistant. This school helps you succeed in every aspect.

There are many job opportunities for the qualified dental assistant to assist dentists and hygienists in the dental profession. Although many desire to be trained in this profession, there are challenges that prevent them from attending school. It is difficult for most people to attend school on a full time basis because they have to work to earn a living or have children to tend. The expense necessary to finance schooling in a major college is also another reason most people are discouraged in pursuing further education. We feel that the dental assisting program offered at our school will meet these challenges. The night time schedules are designed to accommodate working students. The very affordable tuition fee will also solve the financing issues for most prospective students. Students are accepted regardless of sex, race, age, marital status, religious creed, ethnic or national origin.
If you are interested in submitting a scholarship application, please call 360-433-0788 or email us. All applications this year will be through email only. All applications are due by May 22, 2016 and the winner/s will be announced June 1, 2016.
Start a new career as a Dental Assistant!!!! One of the PERKS for our Dental Assisting students is a full professional Teeth Whitening kit to whiten their own teeth (a $300+ value)! Each student gets to make their own impressions and teeth whitening trays. I think that’s one of the reasons our graduates have such big smiles!! They love showing off their newly whitened teeth!
Our January class has been an extraordinary class of students!! Congratulations Halle, Jenny, Jessica, Maria, Mary, McKenzie, and Tiffany! Almost every student was hired prior to graduation!!! They have worked hard, studied hard, and become very good friends. They supported each other and have reason to celebrate their new careers in Dental Assisting!

There are many reasons why our Academy is considered “THE BEST”!! Our curriculum goes far beyond basic training and it shows by the number of students that get hired. Our facility is upscale and we run a tight ship regarding professionalism in all aspects of learning as well as personal presentation. Are students graduate with dental assistant jobs.
We have highly experienced teachers (one of which is currently holding the State Presidency for the ADAA, American Dental Assisting Association for the State of Washington), and the other who has years of experience in staff training for front office as well as training Dental Assistants. Both are trained educators as well as having years of Dental Assisting experience.
We have formed alliances with many Dental Offices who have volunteered their time to help train our students in different aspects of their education in order to help them form a better understanding of the variables in office protocols. This helps the students get better dental assistant jobs and get them faster.
WE SEND OUR STUDENTS OUT TO DIFFERENT OFFICES FOR THEIR EXTERNSHIPS! We do not keep our students “in house” for their externships! We find externship offices for our students because we know it’s the best way for them to get hired. Each student will spend a minimum of 70, and a maximum of 130 hours in a practicing Dental Office for actual chairside experience.
We also have close relationships with different manufacturers who send representatives out to train and certify our students regarding different products and procedures.
We are serious about what we do for our students! Pictures and reviews tell it all, and so do the videos our students make for us.
If you are one of the fearless looking for a new career, Call 360-433-0788 or email us to request information at web@dentalassistantportland.com.

Elite Dental Assisting classes are direct and straight to the point, no messing around!! We couldn’t be happier with this group of students, they are all exceptional!! They are attentive and loving every minute of the hands on (can’t say that for the tests, but they all hang tough and study hard!!).
Our students are dedicated, proactive and positive thinkers! We love seeing the growth in our students as they learn the language of dental assisting. A special thank you to our students who continuously send pictures for us to post! A special welcome to our winter students!!
There is always a reason to smile when you’re excited to learn and challenge yourself. We are moving into the second month of the course and the students are busy preparing their skulls for the anatomy lectures coming up. At this point of the course their brains have been filled with so much information, it’s nice to know that with the hands on training and the many many hours working at their externship sites (minimum 70 hours to 130 hours), this information will be absorbed through practice practice practice!
Because we are a short term course, our students must be extra motivated, extra dedicated and extra hardworking! Every one of our students are exactly that, and then some! Frequently we will find our students studying together before class. We love seeing the closeness and friendships that each class brings!
Is Dental Assisting a career for you? We are enrolling now for our winter and spring sessions, so don’t wait!!! Call us now at 360-433-0788, or email us at web@dentalassistantportland.com for more information and to see if you qualify.
CONGRATULATIONS TO ADDI FOR GETTING HIRED BEFORE GRADUATION!!
Almost everyone has experienced being trapped in a job that becomes extremely boring, doesn’t pay enough to make ends meet, doesn’t offer any benefits, is not challenging, and doesn’t make you feel proud of what you do for a living. Or maybe you’ve just been out of the work force for so long you don’t know what to do? If this is how you’re feeling, then it’s time to consider a career opportunity!
There is a great need for Dental Assistants in today’s market place. Dental Assisting is a recession proof job because no matter what the economy is like, everyone has to have Dental work done. A Dental Assistant can find a job anywhere in the United States!
Working in a Dental Office is considered one of the most rewarding jobs because of the professional work environment, the challenge and variety of daily tasks, and meeting new patients knowing that you are helping them. The pay is great with most offices offering terrific benefits.

As our September class is coming to a close, we are so impressed with how far these students have come! They dove right into the course and set out to become an Elite Dental Assistant!
These amazing women worked together to study and learn a new career. They have learned the value of hard work and what it means to selflessly put other’s needs ahead of their own, one of the best qualities of a dental assistant!
As their 13 weeks comes to a close (boy that way fast!!!), we marvel at what an amazing group of women we have come to know, admire and appreciate.
A highlight of the program is the CPR class! If you’ve ever taken a class where the teacher is throwing out different “choking” or “lack of breathing” scenarios, you’ll understand the feeling of jumping for joy because you think you’ve revived that dummy only to see it’s found something else to choke on before you can finally pass the test!! There is no falling asleep during this fast paced hands on CPR session, and you can see by the photos the students are not only learning but having a fun time!
These dedicated students are working hard, studying intensely and preparing for their new career as dental assistants. We couldn’t be more proud!
Dental Assisting is a lot more than just sucking spit!! Dental Assistants are artists! Among the many skills a student will learn is learning to make impressions, grinding and trimming models, then creating custom trays for teeth whitening. They learn to create temporary crowns, sealants and all the while keeping the patient’s best interest at heart!
