What is the difference between CADA and a 10-12 month Dental Assistant Program?
CADA offers an efficient, practical knowledge base which will prepare students for the day-to-day functions they will be expected to perform. We concentrate our time and energy on learning those skills necessary to be both an advocate for the patient as well as a productive and effective member of the dental team. Health Care Provider CPR certification is offered as part of our course work and is a mandatory step in a student’s quest to become a certified dental assistant. The tuition at CADA is approximately 1/3 of the cost of a 10-12 month program. Both Drs. Broughton and Dunn will not only supervise the delivery of the course work but will participate in person giving lectures and working one on one with students to ensure the students adequately grasp the proper chairside assisting techniques.
What is the average salary range I can expect to earn upon course completion?
According to the US Department of Labor and Statistics, the average salary for a dental assistant is approximately $34,000 per year. In the Tacoma area, salaries start anywhere from $10-15 per hour. Obviously, salaries increase with experience and Certified Expanded Functions dental assistants can expect to earn anywhere from $16-25 per hour. Benefits and paid vacation time vary from employer to employer.
