Cost Comparison: Your Options
When it comes to becoming a dental assistant, you have choices. But not all paths offer the same value. Here's how the numbers compare:
| Feature | Savannah Dental Assistant School | Community College | University Program |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tuition | $2,650 | $10,000-$20,000 | $15,000-$30,000+ |
| Time to Career | 12 weeks | 1-2 years | 2-4 years |
| Student Loan Debt | $0 | $5,000-$15,000 | $15,000-$40,000+ |
| Payment Plans | Yes — flexible weekly payments | Semester billing | Semester billing |
| Earning Sooner | In 12 weeks | In 1-2 years | In 2-4 years |
The Real Cost of Waiting
Every month you spend in a longer program is a month you're not earning a dental assistant salary. Dental assistants in the U.S. earn a median salary of $46,540 per year. By completing your training in 12 weeks instead of 1-2 years, you could earn $46,000+ more during the time others are still in school.

What Are Our Students Saying?
Overall experience was a 8 out of 10 ! One thing that I didn’t like, as an experience was the instructor I had had a bad attitude.The other thing I did not like was communication with my online advisors and being able to get in touch with someone the communication is definitely a little off, but other than that, I love the program! I love that it was 50-50 online and hands-on. One of the instructors was real cool and taught us a lot it was very flexible with my availability!

Excellent Hands-On Training!
Attending this dental assisting school was one of the best decisions I’ve made. The program offered extensive hands-on training that gave me real-world experience and confidence. I learned valuable skills like taking impressions, pouring and trimming models, setting up trays, sterilization protocols, and more.
The instructors were incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, always making sure we understood each step and felt prepared. Thanks to the skills I gained in this program, I was able to secure a dental assisting job before graduation and felt fully equipped to jump into the role with confidence. I’m so grateful for everything this program taught me; it truly set me up for success in the dental field!
