Dental Choice Academy had meticulously crafted a curriculum that caters specifically to the needs of dental office administrators. This program is fantastic for beginners who want to learn about running a dental office, and it's also really useful for those who already have some knowledge but want to improve even more.

There remains an overwhelming demand of dental administers in dental offices across Alberta. However, it is a career which requires a thorough understanding of patients’ dental needs, motivators, insurance and finances. This is why the Dental Choice Academy was created to help ensure the administrator will succeed and help elevate whatever dental office they work at while giving excellent customer services to our beloved patients. The office administrator is the first point of contact and will be a key determinant in a dental clinic’s success. This is why training with the Dental Choice Academy is a win for everyone.
