Looking to advance your career as a dental assistant? Then you’re in the right place. When you join the Academy of Chairside Assisting (ACA), you have the opportunity to learn from the most well-known dental assistant in the country, Shannon Pace Brinker, CDA and her experienced team of dental professionals. You’ll sharpen your skills and truly become the assistant your dentist can’t live without.
Designed for the modern dental assistant to have complete understanding of esthetic procedures in order to provide patients with beautiful, functionally correct dentistry and achieve personal and professional growth. Possibilities are endless for the dental assistant to grow, achieve and expand our capabilities and accomplishments. When educated and trained in technical aspects of the restorative practice, dental assistants become partners to the dentist as well as better communicators and advocates on behalf of the dental patient.
This course was designed to help the dental team develop verbal and non-verbal communication skills, patient interaction techniques, and case presentation approaches that can help them be successful when delivering exceptional patient consultations and case presentations that, ultimately, can be used to increase case acceptance. When dental team members build unique and trusting relationships with patients, they will be more likely to share their personal feelings, goals, and concerns about their oral health and appearance.
We all know the importance of partnership in conjunction with innovation. We provide education that no other partner will deliver.
Why? WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT US? Shannon with over 30 year experience in the dental field, was a product evaluator for Reality Publishing and Dental Advisor. Taught by the best for what to look for!
