Custom Dental Assisting School, LLC

Our school is Licensed by the Oklahoma Board of Private Vocational Schools and consists of a 10 week, hands-on training program driven by the understanding that our success is dependent upon the success of our students.

History

Custom Dental Assisting School was established in 2011 by Dr. Nathan Brown. Dr. Brown is the CEO of Custom Dental, a series of 10 dental offices in multiple states, which began over 30 years ago. He practices general dentistry with emphasis in crown and bridge, removable prosthetics, oral surgery, Endodontics, periodontology, implants and orthodontics.

Dr. Brown, as an author, mentor, and dental speaker, felt that after expanding Custom Dental to 10 offices, in just 3 years, growing at 63,000 new patients a year, their system is worth opening up a school and giving opportunities to share the unique education Custom Dental’s Assistants have experienced.

-------Do you have payment plans?

As for the payments, total tuition is $3997 unless you pay $3697 before the first day of class and we will waive the other $300. To secure your spot in our course you will need to send in the application filled out and your $1,500 down payment. Then most people make payments here and there until the first day of class which is when your first payment is due. The other payments between the down payment and first day of class are optional. To determine your payment amount we will take your tuition total minus payments made divided by 10 (number of weeks of class) .

Here are our Payment Plans !

Total Tuition: $3997

Option 1: Pay in Full Before the first day of class and only pay $3697

Option 2: Pay $1,500 down and $250 will be due every week Before class starts

Option 3: Pay $1,800 down and $225 will be due every week Before class starts

Option 4: Pay $2,000 down and $200 will be due every week Before class starts

There is a modified option not listed on the application that what ever you pay for a down payment ( must be $1,500+) and we will divide the balance due by 10 ( number of weeks of class) less your down payment.

----Do you except Financial Aid? Like FAFSA etc?

Unfortunately, we do not except financial aid, not because we don't want to, we tried every angle we could, but since we are a Certificate Program not a Degree Program, we do not qualify. We looked into becoming a Degree Program and we would have to raise our tuition price to cover new fees and extend our school from 10 WEEKS to at least 10 MONTHS. So we are doing as much as possible by offering payment plans so there are no third parties involved, PLUS you will graduate with Absolutely NO DEBT from our school!!

----What are the "expanded duties" that a Dental Assistant can achieve in the State of Oklahoma?


The coronal polishing as well as all the other expanded duties a dental assistant can get is through the Oklahoma Dental Foundation. They have pre-requisites for all 4 of them. The 4 are:

1. Radiation- what we will pay for and get you enrolled in

2. Assisting in the administration of Nitrous Oxide- must work chairs use for at least 1 year and our course, which is 3 months long, will count towards that because we have on the job training

3. Coronal Polishing- must work chairs use for at least 1 year and our course, which is 3 months long, will count towards that because we have on the job training

4. Placing sealants in pits and fissures - must have your coronal polishing certificate to apply






So what our school is trying to do is get you certified in as many things that you can legally do in Oklahoma to strengthen your resume to get a job so you can be making money and learning while you are working towards your year to apply for polishing.
