Dental assistant training
Smart Training helps dental practices build confident, capable dental assistants through structured online training in chairside skills, patient care, and daily workflow expectations.
Smart Training gives practices a structured way to onboard assistants, reinforce key skills, and create a clear path for learning core workflows across general, pediatric, and orthodontic care.
Foundational and procedural training covering operatory flow, imaging, diagnostics, restorative procedures, patient transitions, and technical assisting.
A pediatric-focused learning path covering child development, behavior guidance, preventive care, pediatric procedures, trauma, emergencies, and communication.
An orthodontic training path covering treatment planning, clinical procedures, case management, and workflows to help assistants support providers confidently.
Managers can assign training based on role, experience level, or upcoming procedures, then track progress across the assistant team.
If an implant crown insertion is scheduled and the lead assistant who usually supports that procedure is out, another clinical assistant can complete the relevant course ahead of time. They can review the workflow, understand what to expect, and feel more prepared before entering the operatory.
Instead of relying on different team members to explain procedures in different ways, your office has a clear, repeatable way to onboard assistants, support cross-training, and keep workflows more consistent.
Training gaps are rarely caused by a lack of effort. More often, they occur when institutional knowledge is unavailable, inconsistently taught, or passed down informally between providers, practitioners, and across specialties.
"We’ve seen a noticeable difference in how our assistants perform chairside. Procedures run more smoothly, and new hires get up to speed much faster. It’s made a big difference in how our team works day to day."
Most practices need more than a few days of shadowing to build confident assistants. A structured training library gives managers a clear way to assign training, reinforce skills, and scale development across the team.
This is especially helpful for growing teams, offices bringing on new hires regularly, and practices that want a clearer development path across general, pediatric, and orthodontic workflows.
Smart Training gives teams a structured way to train assistants without adding unnecessary complexity.
The library includes general, pediatric, and orthodontic assistant training designed to support onboarding, skill development, and more consistent clinical workflows across the practice.
