The US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) estimates that the employability of dental assistants is expected to grow by 16.5% from 2018 to 2028 - a rate that is higher than all the other professions. The success of virtually all professions and industries depends on the demand-and-supply principle. According to the BLS, The demand for the dental profession - and hence, the dental assistants - is driven by two factors.

We care about our students and they care about us. Here are some testimonials from our graduates.

  • Amazing School

    I am very happy to spend this period of study in California Dental Institute. I still remember that at the beginning of the course, I was very worried that I would not be able to finish the course because of the language problem, but as long as you keep moving forward, you will find that all the worries will be gone. Ramil is a very nice and responsible teacher. He gradually adjusts the teaching progress from slow to fast according to the students' class conditions, and patiently answers the students' questions. Meanwhile, he is also a strict teacher who pays attention to every detail. I respect him very much.

  • HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

    I can’t believe that I am already working as a dental assistant! From a mother who had nothing to do with dentistry or even medical work to the present state, the whole change was attributed to the advice of the clinic manager Ginnie two years ago, which gave me the opportunity to enter the dental school. In the first class, the patience and professional teaching of the principal Ramil combined with pictures and texts will make every layman understand and understand. Ginnie will also teach some extra front desk work content, and also invite former outstanding employees to come back to teach experience.

  • California Dental Institute Is The Best!

    Unfortunately I lost my job due to COVID and my friends told me about an accelerated dental assistant program in Tustin. I found out the BPPE accreditation means they are legitimately CA state approved, unlike everyone else but one in Orange County and CDI (California Dental Institute) is the ONLY program that I know of, with a dedicated classroom! The instructor, Ramil, is a RDA himself and has worked as a teacher for dental assisting at an actual college as well as having been a dental assistant and working at dental labs. He takes his time to work with you one on one if there is something you don't understand and they are also multilingual.
