Play an Important Role
Dentists, Orthodontists and Oral Surgeons highly value the supportive role of Dental Assistants in their clinic. Professionals in this field ensure dental offices are organized and prepared in advance for each patient. Their administrative and clinical roles are integral to the business operations of a dental office.
Active, Rewarding Workplace
In a dental office, no two days are the same! You’ll have all the benefits of an office workspace, but you won’t be limited to a computer screen all day long. Not only will you work alongside other Dental Assistants, but you’ll also have the opportunity to observe and learn from Dental Hygienists and Dentists.
A Career That Fits Your Life
Dental assisting is one area of healthcare that has a good work-life balance with consistent work schedules. Most dental clinics operate within a 9am – 5pm schedule, which can help balance family and other responsibilities.

What Our Graduates Say
Shirley
“My experience at Milan Institute was absolutely great”
This was my first year in college, I entered straight out of high school. Before I enrolled I was still in high school researching about the Dental field and how many changes can occur. My experience at Milan Institute was absolutely great. I had the chance to meet new people and the staff are just really amazing. I am currently employed in Visalia Dental Care. Really amazing office with great staff. My future career plans are to keep studying more about the dental field and become a travel Dental Assistant.

“It was a very rewarding time”
I decided to go back to school to better myself and help others. I enjoyed every minute of my experience at Milan Institute. I loved everything and everyone. Especially my instructor Mr. Cesa. It was a very rewarding time and time well spent. Math was difficult for me at first. I kept pushing and asking questions and took the advice of my instructor Mr. Cesa who informed me that I was overthinking. Finally, everything clicked and I maintained a 3.7 GPA from there on.

“Pushed me to success and find my passion”
Going back to school was something I had put behind me for several years, I felt that if I didn’t put my head into doing it, I would never get to it. I finally said I would, and I did. Going to school filled me with great knowledge and experience, and I was surrounded by mentors that pushed me to succeed and find my passion.
