Dental assisting offers a fast track into the healthcare field and Milan Institute is a great first step! Milan Institute offers top-notch training in cities across the country, including Amarillo (Texas), Sparks (Nevada), Merced (California), Palm Desert (California), and Visalia (California). No matter where you live, Milan Institute can help you get started on your path to success!

Why Become a Dental Assistant?

Dental assistants are in high demand. You’ll help patients feel comfortable, assist dentists during procedures, and keep clinics running smoothly. With strong job growth and steady work, this career is a smart choice for anyone interested in healthcare.

Why Milan Institute Stands Out

Since 1985, Milan Institute has helped students launch successful careers in healthcare and beauty. Our campuses are known for friendly, supportive environments where you’ll get hands-on training from experienced instructors. You’ll learn by doing, with real-world experience that prepares you for your first day on the job.

What to Expect from Our Dental Assistant Program

Our dental assistant program covers everything you need, from preparing treatment rooms and assisting dentists to patient care and office administration. You’ll practice in simulated clinical settings and—at many campuses—work with real patients. Most students finish in less than a year, so you can start your new career quickly.

Local Career Opportunities

Each Milan Institute campus—Amarillo, Sparks, Merced, Palm Desert, and Visalia—has strong connections with local dental offices and clinics. Our career services team helps graduates find jobs in their communities.

Financial Aid and Support

Don’t let tuition worries hold you back! Milan Institute offers financial aid, scholarships, and payment plans to help make your education affordable. Some campuses also offer a $1,000 scholarship!

If you don’t have a high school diploma or GED, we can help you complete that, too.

How to Apply and Become a Student

Getting started is easy! Here’s how you can join Milan Institute at any of our dental assistant campuses:

  • Book a Campus Tour: Visit your chosen campus in person or take a virtual tour. See our facilities and meet our team.
  • Apply for Financial Aid (if needed): Our admissions team will help you explore financial aid options, including scholarships and payment plans.
  • Enroll for the Next Start Date: Once you’re ready, enroll in our dental assistant program for the next available session.

At Milan Institute, you’ll be part of a welcoming student community. We offer events and resources to help you succeed.
