Our classes are taught three times per year on ten consecutive Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. For every eight students, we have an instructor who works in Dentistry during the week. This allows for more learning time on an individual basis.
There will not be a Dentist on staff for treatment and we do not practice on patients during this course. If you are seeking dental treatment please contact your local dental office.
