Dental Assisting School

Lancaster County Career and Technology Center offers a satellite dental assisting program at Thorndale Dental Associates. The assisting program is offered to adult students who are interested in becoming a dental assistant or beginning a career in dentistry as a lab tech or an administrative assistant. The 26 week program will graduate assistants who have learned dental terminology, head and neck anatomy and physiology, dental anatomy, dental materials, chairside assisting, radiology and business administration. It is our objective to graduate dental assistants that would be able to comfortably sit chairside (utilizing a four handed approach), have the ability to take impressions, fabricate temporaries, mix cements, and be certified to take x-rays.

Tuition assistance is available. Please call Evelyn Daily at 610-384-2541 or email Dental Practice for more information. Classes begin in September, with an anticipated graduation in April.
