Our Certified Dental Assistant Program is a licensure-qualifying program approved by the New York State Department of Education (NYSED), under the provisions of Office of the Professions (OP).  Graduates of the program are eligible to take the New York Professional Dental Assisting Exam, leading to the New York State Dental Assisting license.

When enrolling in a Dental Assistant program it is very important that you enroll in a program that will enable you to become a New York State licensed certified dental assistant.

Non Certified Dental Assistants are qualified for fewer jobs and have to accept lower paying jobs than NYS Certified Dental Assistants.  Be careful not to enroll in a program where you cannot become a NYS Certified Dental Assistant.

Structured to provide the chairside, laboratory and administrative skills needed on the job, our Dental Assistant Program enables graduates to work both with general dentists and dental specialists.  Take the next step with The New York School for Medical and Dental Assistants —and see what you’ll achieve.
