The Foundation for Allied Dental Education

El Dorado Hills, CA

We are committed to advancing the levels of licensure for allied dental healthcare personnel through formal education.

Choosing the right provider is the first step in your professional development. No matter how long you have been serving the oral healthcare needs of the community, the profession still ranks in the top three job markets nationwide and continues to look for the most advanced-skilled personnel to fill the access to care issues we face.

Since our beginning in 2016, we have worked continually toward providing the most unique and enriching curriculum possible while still meeting the educational regulations for all Board-approved programs and certifications.

Our mission is to assist allied dental professionals meet their educational goals in an environment focused on education, not profit. Our focus is on theory, technique and consumer protection in all our classes. Our team of committed teachers and clinical professionals bring decades of experience in clinical practice to the learning environment with an emphasis on one-to-one instruction and integration of contemporary products and materials in a safe, enriching, supportive environment.

The Foundation for Allied Dental Education (FADE) is a community service organization. 

Established in 2010, the original mission and purpose was to work toward providing collaborative support to dental assisting educators and educational programs throughout the State. Our successful courses and resources created a need for a training facility and became a reality in March 2016. 

The Foundation for Allied Dental Education is a privately funded, for-profit institution that strives to provide a state-of-the-art training and professional development facility for the community.  As such, we are able to provide individualized learning and advanced skill programs and certifications taught by dental educators and clinically experienced faculty.  Each course and program is offered in an affordable and pro-active manner.
