We're currently updating program content for Fall 2025. Please check back often.
Welcome to the Dental Assisting Program at 橘子视频. We are pleased to offer a face-to-face program for the 2025-2026 academic year. This means students are expected to attend and fully participate in all theory, lab, and clinical courses during the program. Clinical course work and experiences may occur during the day, evening, or weekends depending on clinic availability.
Please bring a pen and notebook to take notes.
You will receive information about textbooks during the program orientation on September 2 and you will need to purchase these books for classes on September 2, 2025. We do not recommend that students purchase used books, as the supplier has bundled the textbook, a workbook, an instrument pocket guide, and an eText at a reduced price.
A positive attitude and interest in learning are essential to learner success!
Please take some time to read through this information, and don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
Be sure to log in to SAM and check your courses for additional information.

The Dental Assisting program is accredited and nationally recognized for its quality training. Program theory is delivered to you in a classroom setting, and then you practice your skills in our dental lab, which includes fully functional dental operatories (working spaces) and digital radiography units. The program has a ratio of approximately 10 students per instructor to ensure students receive the best guidance and expert advice. By the time you graduate, you will be competent in the entire core skill set recognized across Canada. With successful completion of the National Board Exam, you will be eligible for licensure in all Canadian provinces.
We collaborate with local industry leaders and educational organizations as well as National Dental Assisting organizations to ensure that graduates are able to meet all aspects of the profession of dental assisting.
