"NextGen Dental Academy has made my transition into the dental field a smooth one. Can’t wait to see what the future holds!"
Erin Richards
We're new. But we're not just another dental assisting school.
For Dr. Joshua Lange, it all started after losing his third dental assistant within a couple of months…
After talking with other dentists in the area, he found they were having similar experiences and realized a troubling trend:
Dental assistants graduating from nearby schools were not prepared for their roles.
Dr. Lange knew something had to change. So, he took action.
His vision?
A dental school that offers more than basic knowledge – a school that truly prepares you for the realities of the dental field.
