Tulsa Dental Assistant School

Dental Assistant Training in Tulsa

Tulsa Dental Assistant School is a career training center dedicated to preparing dental assistants in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Its program is taught in real dental offices and combines in-person classes with online content, with the goal of giving students hands-on experience with equipment and materials used in dental practice.

The school presents itself as a joint initiative between Zollege and local dental offices, so that training takes place in the same environment where the profession is practiced. The school is part of Zollege, founded in 2010 as Vandelay Education by Dr. Thomas Ince, a dentist who was looking for well-trained dental assistants to hire. His brother Ryan, a physician, joined the project to develop a medical assistant program with the same accelerated, in-office approach.

12-Week Program

The main training track lasts twelve weeks. The school describes the admissions process in four steps: learn about the program and talk to the admissions team, complete the application by choosing a start date and payment plan, pay the deposit to reserve a spot — which is applied toward tuition — and complete the program by following the school's guidance. When classes begin, students receive a free set of scrubs.

The school states that the program is designed so students can graduate without student loan debt, thanks to affordable tuition and flexible payment plans. Start dates are offered multiple times throughout the year.

Skills and Certifications Upon Completion

Those who complete the program receive a Certificate of Completion and a Basic Life Support (BLS) certification card issued by the American Heart Association. Additional steps must be taken to obtain a Radiation Safety permit from the Oklahoma Board of Dentistry (OBD), which school staff help manage. Requirements include a background check.

Hands-On Training in Real Dental Offices

Classes take place in working dental offices in Tulsa and are taught by professionals with experience in dental practice. The school emphasizes that students learn and practice skills in a real dental office, with flexible class times. Practical content mentioned in testimonials includes making temporary crowns.

Career Support and Learning Environment

The learning environment is described as professional and well equipped, with tools and technology similar to those used in today's dental offices. The admissions process is presented as clear and guided, with defined requirements and support from the enrollment team.
