We Provide an All-Encompassing Education Experience
Louisiana Dental Institute is a private, value-based dental assistant school in Monroe, LA, offering a comprehensive 12-week program to students throughout North Louisiana. Our students exit our program with the knowledge needed to succeed as dental professionals and eligible students have the opportunity to enter our 40-hour Externship Program upon graduation. The externship portion of our course allows our students the opportunity to work under the direct guidance of experienced dental professionals in one of our 7 dental offices in North Louisiana.
Meet Our Highly-Qualified Staff
Our instructors have years of experience in the dental field. They are all passionate about creating the same passion in their students that they possess themselves. They have served as dentists and dental assistants, and they have the real-world experience needed to teach their students everything they need to know to succeed in the dental profession themselves. They are all equally capable of teaching all facets of our curriculum to our students, including courses on radiographic imaging, infection prevention, both basic and advanced clinical dentistry, as well as oral health and prevention of dental disease.
