Dental Assisting - Levels I and II at Fanshawe College

In less than 10 months after starting dental assisting program, students will be ready to become a professional dental assistant. Their career is almost guaranteed, with 95 per cent of graduates finding work in the field.

Students will get there by learning the necessary hands-on skills – including sterilization and disinfecting instruments, preparing materials and assisting with dental procedures – in newly renovated simulation lab, modelled after a typical dental office. 

Throughout the studies, students will work alongside professors in a supportive mentoring environment designed to help them succeed. 

Students will also gain amazing experience rotating through specialty practices in the London area and complete two work placements at dental offices to ensure that they are prepared and feel comfortable starting their career.

When students graduate, they will be prepared to successfully complete the National Dental Assisting Examination Board (NDAEB) Exam in order to practice as a Level II Dental Assistant. Students will also be eligible for accreditation with the Ontario Dental Assistants Association and the Canadian Dental Assistants Association.
