Meredith K January 24, 2023I just recently graduated from the Sunrise Dental program at the Raleigh location and honestly it was a great learning experience. I not only met classmates that turned out to be friends of mine, but the new instructors there are so patient, kind, and truly care about educating students. They took their time to make sure we succeeded and I couldn’t of asked for more. It is a fast paced course but you certainly know the basic tools you need for entering an office with confidence. This also fit perfectly with my schedule as I work a full time job during the day. I would recommend this program to anyone interested in Dental Assisting.
Ashley Hicks January 24, 2023At Sunrise they give you the tools you need to become successful as a Dental Assistant. You have smaller numbers in the class, so you are able to have more one on one time with an instructor if needed. It is a fast paced class, but the instructor is willing to meet with you before class time if you need help. It is a good balance between lectures and actual lab time. You have great hands on experience and work with live “patients” (class members) in order to get an actual feel of what it would be like. The team at Sunrise Dental are very encouraging and push you to strive for your best. They also help with shadowing at different offices and even inform you if there are job openings at other offices. I would recommend this program to anyone and know that they would also get the great training that I have received!
Katie Hall January 24, 2023Sunrise is exactly the kind of schooling I need. The lectures are well written and the instructor answers our questions very well. The material is presented in an easy-to-understand manner and never have I felt overwhelmed. The hands on clinicals were enjoyable and a wonderful way of being introduced into the field. This program Is an investment worth making!!
Ashley Black January 24, 2023My experience with this school was fantastic. The instructor Wendy was very detailed with the lessons and gave close personal attention when things needed to be better explained. I felt fully prepared when I started working, and I have been at my dental office for 4 years now and I could not be happier with my decision.
eva lai January 24, 2023It was a good program. I met a lot of nice people a little hard at times because it was an accelerated course but overall the course was a good one. You get hands on experience with some of the tasks that you will do as a DAI and the teachers were nice, patient, and encouraging.
Lydia Halliday January 24, 2023I would highly recommended this program to anyone wanting to become a Dental assistant. The teachers are super awesome, friendly, nice, and well educated.

Madison McCullock January 24, 2023Sunrise School of Dental Assisting provided me with the knowledge and skills I needed to begin my career in the Dental field.

I enjoyed my experience at Sunrise School of Dental Assisting. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to receive the proper education necessary in order to excel in their Dental Assisting career,.
Jaylyn May January 24, 2023Prior to attending Sunrise School of Dental Assisting I had zero knowledge of the dentistry field and what this career choice would have in store for me. I had an awesome instructor, as well as current Dental Assistants at Sunrise, to help guide me and continue to be successful in my career. Everyone has been extremely helpful and I have had nothing less than a great experience. After graduation, I was hired on by Sunrise and couldn’t be more happy with my job and the decision to attend Sunrise School of Dental Assisting! Thank you all!!
Rebecca Carswell January 24, 2023Sunrise school of dental assisting is a great school! The teacher was so nice and was always ready to help and answer any questions that I had. I would choose Sunrise school of dental assisting over any other school becuase I learned everything I needed to know in just 13 weeks plus it worked with my current work schedule. I was able to work my full time job during the day and go to school at night! I also had a job waiting for me as a dental assistant as soon as I graduated!

Mustafa Mansaf January 24, 2023Attending Sunrise School of Dental Assisting has hands down been the best academic decision that I have made this year. To start things off, class instruction times are at such a convenience, especially those who are already full time college students, people already working jobs, as well as people with families. The cost of attending the Sunrise School of Dental Assisting is also very affordable compared to the other Dental Assisting schools in my area and around NC. The curriculum that is taught at the Sunrise School of Dental Assisting is very straightforward and every little part that is being taught to us is helping us prepare and is developing us to be ready to enter the dental field as well rounded Dental Assistants. The Sunrise School of Dental Assisting curriculum consists of a lot of hands on activities as well as some lecture classes. The hands-on activities are my favorite for sure since they are always engaging and exciting. My instructors (Tammy, Kelly, Dedra, Michelle) make the learning aspect of Dental Assisting 100 times better. The instructors are highly trained and know every little thing there is to Dental Assisting. I feel very comfortable asking for help and guidance from my instructors and they make sure to help us students out whenever we need help. If you are looking to take your first step in the Dental field, attending the Sunrise School of Dental Assisting is your best bet!
Ivy Gamble January 24, 2023I started this school in January 2020 and was supposed to be finished by April 2020. Everything started out great. All 3 teachers we had on Greensboro campus were really good; easy to learn by, very knowledgeable, and down to earth. You could talk to them about anything. My classmates were great also. Unfortunately, because of covid, school had to stop for a few months. But when we came back, our teachers did everything they possibly could to make sure that we graduated successfully and knew everything frontwards and backwards. Melody, Kenyada, and Tracey were excellent! I can’t forget about Daniel. He strated helping after we opened back up. He was great also. I was able to get a job right away. I graduated in August, it is now mid October, and they are still assisting students to find jobs if needed. They keep in touch. We became a family. I recommend the school to anyone!
Daniel Jimenez January 24, 2023I was told about this school from a close friend before I started and she loved every single bit of the program, help and motivation she got from her teachers. I decided to better myself by going here as well and giving it a shot. This course proved to be nothing more than one of the best programs I’ve been able to get into and graduate from. Every single class we were helped as much as possible and always went back over things if we didn’t understand. This program not only help me gain a certificate of Dental Assisting for my career, but also helped me find my first job as a dental assistant while I was still in the program and I couldn’t be happier with how much my life has progressed in just 13 weeks. I will always speak the best about this school and I know whoever takes it will do the same!
Hannah Cellitti January 24, 2023I heard about this school when I started searching for a program to become a DA. I came a cross this schooling program and saw nothing but good reviews! The experience I had with this program was a great blessing, I couldn’t have had a greater experience. Once I finished the program I was offered a position as a clinical assistant and have had nothing but fun and great experiences with other students! I highly suggest this school program.
crstrick1 January 24, 2023I highly recommend Sunrise School of Dental Assisting! I had no background in dentistry and decided to try this program for a change in career. I took the course at the Greensboro location and loved my instructor! Sheila was passionate about teaching Dental Assisting and very patient and attentive during the whole course. The program was very convenient for me because I could still work my full time job since classes were only two nights a week for 13 weeks! I love how fast and smooth the process is and everyone involved was so helpful and easy to work with. McKinley was awesome to work with in setting up everything financially to cover the class and scheduling days for me to shadow at the Raleigh office. I relocated back to the Raleigh area after finishing the program and started working at Sunrise Dental’s Raleigh location and love it!

Megan E. Keyser January 24, 2023I would absolutely 10/10 recommend this program to anyone looking to start a career in the dental field! Before I started taking this program I knew absolutely nothing about anything dental related! Kenyada has been the best instructor! She makes learning the in’s & out’s fun! Kenyada, Hillary, and Daniel ensure that we feel confident in what we’re learning and practicing. I absolutely LOVE this program! Especially because I can still work my job, and attend school! I was so nervous going into this, because of changing career paths. But it has been the best leap of faith, and blessing for me thus far! Thank you, Sunrise School of Dental Assisting for giving people opportunities to succeed without having to give up their daily jobs and income! Y’all are the best!
