Our Dental Assistant Program Faculty Can Help Prepare You for a Successful New Career

Meet Dr. Melina Morrison

Dr. Morrison founded the Elite Dental Assisting School because of a passion for the field of dentistry, and a desire to share that passion with others. Dr. Morrison noticed a lack of programs in the Dallas area that were not only affordable, but also provided the extensive hands-on experience necessary to become a great dental assistant. This 14-week dental assistant program offers exceptional training, 0% interest financing, and low payment options.

Dr. Morrison herself struggled with dental phobia, or extreme fear of the dentist, as a child. When she found a dentist who treated her with kindness and compassion, she was able to overcome her fear. Eventually, she chose to study dentistry to help others feel comfortable in the dentist's chair, and to receive the dental care they need.

Dr. Morrison grew up in Forney, graduating from Texas A&M University and later receiving her doctorate in dental surgery at Baylor College of Dentistry. In addition to providing education to others through the Elite Careers Dental Assisting School of Texas, Inc., Dr. Morrison herself attends many hours of continuing education courses, sometimes as much as four times the amount required by national dental boards. She is happy to help you learn the proper techniques you will need in order to achieve long-term success.
