A new training opportunity for future dental professionals is coming to Cobb County this spring as Atlanta Dental Assistant School prepares to launch its Marietta campus at 121 Vann St NE, Suite 201.

The program will offer a focused 12-week dental assistant curriculum built around real-world experience and practical skill development. Designed for students looking to enter the workforce quickly, the program blends flexible online coursework with in-person instruction inside a working dental practice.

Through a partnership with Anchor Periodontics, students will train in a specialized clinical environment, gaining exposure to periodontal procedures, patient preparation, sterilization protocols, and chairside assisting techniques. The hands-on setting allows students to develop confidence while learning how modern dental practices operate on a daily basis.

“Training alongside experienced professionals gives students a clear advantage when entering the workforce,” said Chris Lofton, CEO of Zollege. “Our Marietta campus is designed to provide that real-world experience while keeping education accessible and efficient.”

The program’s accelerated format is tailored for individuals seeking a practical, affordable pathway into dentistry without the extended timelines of traditional programs. Graduates will be prepared to pursue certification and entry-level roles in general and specialty dental practices throughout the Atlanta metro area.

Enrollment for the spring cohort is now open here.
