Frequently Asked Questions
Do you accept third-party payment plans?
Our in-house plans are designed to be more flexible than what a third-party payment plan may offer. However, some patients may find that taking out a loan and using it to pay their tuition in full is the most cost-effective financial option for them.
Can I work full-time while enrolled in dental assisting courses?
Yes! Our course is designed to work around patients with busy schedules, as we understand that life can’t be put on hold while attending dental assisting school. We want our courses to be accessible to as many students as possible.
How much do dental assistants make?
The average salary for dental assistants can vary, especially for our students who are planning to start their careers outside of Ephrata in other parts of Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, or New Jersey. Our team will be happy to work with you to discover career opportunities that align with your life, career goals, and salary expectations!
