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

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.

We offer payment plans that work with your budget — no student loans needed.

Pay in Full

Pay $2,650 upfront and save on payment plan fees. This is the most popular option for students who want to keep costs as low as possible.

Weekly Payment Plan

Start with a deposit of $1,450 and make manageable weekly payments. No credit checks, no interest — just a simple plan that fits your budget.

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! Read less

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! Read less
