Hello Jasmine. Completing a certificate program to become a dental assistant usually takes 9 months to 2 years to complete. The completion time can vary depending on the certificate program that you choose to become enrolled in.
Hi Dakayla, completing dental assistant program depends on the state you live in. Some states dont require it and you can be trained on the job. Having the certificate gives you an advantage but it isnt always necessary. Most assistant programs Im familiar with only take about 9-15 months.
