Kansas City Dental Assistant School will launch a 12-week dental assistant program in Olathe this spring, offering hands-on training.

KANSAS CITY, KS, UNITED STATES, March 2, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- A new pathway into the dental profession is coming to Johnson County this spring as Kansas City Dental Assistant School prepares to open its Olathe campus at 13400 S Black Bob Rd, Olathe, KS.

“Dental assisting continues to be a strong entry point into healthcare careers,” said Chris Lofton, CEO of Zollege. “By embedding training within local practices like Rhoades Family Dentistry, students graduate with meaningful experience and the skills employers are seeking.”

The new location will offer a focused 12-week dental assistant program designed to help students build practical skills quickly while training in a real clinical setting. The curriculum blends structured online learning with in-person instruction and hands-on experience delivered directly inside a partnering dental office.

Through a collaboration with Rhoades Family Dentistry, students will learn in an active practice environment, gaining exposure to chairside assisting, infection control procedures, dental imaging support, patient preparation, and day-to-day office operations. This immersive approach allows students to develop confidence and workplace readiness before graduation.

The Olathe campus aims to serve students from across the Kansas City metro area who are looking for a practical, affordable alternative to traditional education models. Graduates will be prepared to pursue certification and entry-level positions in general and specialty dental practices throughout the region.
