Roanoke Dental Assistant School will open this spring, offering a 12-week, immersive dental assistant program in partnership with Wilson Dental Associates.
ROANOKE, VA, UNITED STATES, February 23, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — A new career-training option is arriving in the Roanoke Valley this spring with the launch of Roanoke Dental Assistant School, an accelerated program designed to prepare students for entry into the dental field in just 12 weeks.
“Dental practices need team members who are comfortable in real clinical settings from the start,” said Chris Lofton, CEO of Zollege. “Our model focuses on applied learning, giving students meaningful experience that translates directly into workforce readiness.”
The school will operate at 4231 Colonial Ave, Roanoke, VA, providing students with a blended learning experience that combines structured online coursework with in-person clinical training inside a working dental practice.
Through a partnership with Wilson Dental Associates, students will gain practical exposure to the day-to-day rhythm of a professional dental office. Training will include chairside assisting techniques, infection control protocols, dental imaging support, patient interaction, and office workflow, all in a live clinical environment rather than a simulated classroom alone.
The 12-week format is structured to help students move efficiently into entry-level dental roles while maintaining strong academic and hands-on support. Graduates will be prepared to pursue certification and employment opportunities across general and specialty dental practices throughout Southwest Virginia.
Enrollment for the inaugural spring cohort is now open. Apply here.
