GRAND JUNCTION, CO, UNITED STATES, September 2, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- A new opportunity for aspiring dental professionals is arriving in Colorado’s Western Slope. Grand Junction Dental Assistant School will officially open this September, offering a 12-week dental assistant training program designed to prepare students for immediate careers in the dental field.

The school is conveniently located at 601 28 1/4 Rd, Suite E, Grand Junction, CO 81506, giving students access to hands-on learning in a professional dental office environment.

Hands-On Learning in a Real Dental Office

Throughout the 12-week program, students will split time between classroom instruction and practical labs inside Jolley Smiles. The curriculum covers dental anatomy and radiography, chairside assisting with instruments and procedures, sterilization and infection control protocols, patient recordkeeping and digital charting and administrative tasks such as billing, coding, and scheduling.

The program concludes with an 80-hour externship, where students work under the guidance of experienced dental professionals, giving them confidence and hands-on knowledge to step directly into their careers.

Debt-Free Pathway to a Career in Dentistry

Unlike traditional programs that can take years and cost tens of thousands of dollars, Grand Junction Dental Assistant School emphasizes accessibility. Students have the option to pay tuition in full or set up flexible payment plans, ensuring they can graduate debt-free and job-ready in just a few months.
