Linn-Benton Community College

Sure, I can assist you with information about Linn-Benton Community College’s Dental Assistant program.

Linn-Benton Community College offers a Dental Assistant program that prepares students for entry-level positions in the dental field. The program is designed to provide students with a combination of classroom instruction, laboratory experience, and clinical practice.

The program consists of 10 courses and can be completed in three terms (one year) of full-time study. The courses cover topics such as dental anatomy and physiology, dental radiology, infection control, dental materials, and dental office management.

In addition to classroom instruction, students will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience through a clinical practicum. During the practicum, students will work alongside licensed dental professionals in a real-world setting.

Upon completion of the program, graduates will be eligible to take the Certified Dental Assistant (CDA) examination, which is administered by the Dental Assisting National Board. Graduates may also choose to pursue additional certification in expanded functions, which would allow them to perform additional duties in the dental office.

If you are interested in applying to the Dental Assistant program at Linn-Benton Community College, I would recommend reaching out to the college’s admissions office for more information on the application process and requirements.
