Frequently Asked Questions

What certifications will I receive from the program?

In addition to receiving your Dental Assistant Certificate of Completion from Mint Dental Assistant Academy, you'll also complete the BLS CPR Certification and RHS Training Course (Pre-Test Training).

Do you assist graduates with acquiring a Registered Dental Assistant License?

In Texas, becoming a Registered Dental Assistant includes the following steps, and we help you every step of the way:

  1. Required Certifications (All certifications are included in tuition.)
    Texas requires completion of the following certifications:
    Radiology (X-ray)
    Infection Control
    Jurisprudence Assessment
    CPR (BLS)
  1. State Application Support
    We assist graduates with submitting the Texas State Board of Dental Examiners (TSBDE) application, scheduling fingerprints, completing and submitting the NPDB, and ensuring all documents are accurate and complete before submission.
How long is the program?

Our program spans a total of seven weeks, consisting of 136 hours of lecture and hands-on clinical training. In addition to their classes, our students are required to complete a 40-hour externship at a local dental office, and qualified students will be offered an opportunity to participate in an externship at one of our MINT locations.

Am I qualified?

We require that our students have a high school diploma or GED.

What does it cost to apply?

A $20 non-refundable application fee is required upon submission. Eligible students may qualify for the MINT Dentistry Discount, bringing total program tuition to $3,000.

Do you accept financial aid?

In order to offer our students federal aid, we would be forced to hold classes full-time Monday-Friday for eight months + terms. Rather than draw out our program over many months at a much greater cost to the individual student, we opted for a leaner program without federal aid. We are happy to offer interest-free payment plans to those students who cannot pay for our course upfront.

What are my prospects after graduation?

The job outlook for dental assistants is very positive! The US Bureau of Labor Statistics expects above average job growth for the dental assisting profession over the next 10 years and projects the need for more than 55,000 new dental assistants over that same time frame. Eligible students will have the opportunity for direct employment with MINT dentistry.

What sets us apart? Our classes take place right inside a real dental practice. Imagine learning the ins and outs of dental assisting in the very environment where you'll soon excel.
