Burning Out Is NOT A Normal Part Of Dentistry
It’s true that you can make a good living in dentistry. But too often we see that concept break apart when dentists fall into the grip of overwork and an unforgiving hustle that ultimately breaks them down.
The enthusiasm you had when you first started your career has likely tapered off steadily over the years. Factors such as time pressure, client servicing, staff management, marketing efforts, overhead costs, and crippling debt generate enough stress to cause a myriad of physical and mental issues.
This can also sabotage the quality of your relationships because, by the time you “punch out” of your practice, you’ve little energy left to be fully present with the people you care about — including yourself.
To top that off — the shocking rates of divorce, alcoholism, substance abuse, and even suicide in the industry are surely a critical wake-up call to revisit your business strategy and explore a completely different, sustainable way to truly make a good living.
And we all know what that means: fewer hours and dare we say it — fewer patients — at a time.
But just how do you manage that… and still be able to account for all your operational costs, provide top-notch service to your clients, manage a qualified and satisfied team, and lead the comfortable and fulfilling life that you set out to create?
Why A California Dental Assisting School is The Perfect Passive Income Business For You
Opening a California Dental Assisting School, Advanced Dental Assisting School, or Dental Board Certification Center is unquestionably the most effective and lucrative business for California dentists today. Despite the economy, there’s always a strong need for Certified Dental Assistants and RDAEF2s across the state. It’s the third fastest-growing occupation for which a college degree isn’t required.
California Dentists are desperate for well-trained, invested dental assistants that can positively impact the overall quality of their patient care. With 60 dental practices per 100,000-population, patients have many options to choose from. And that decision also relies on how welcome, supported, and safe they feel with the staff at each visit.
As a result, there’s a strong demand for quality schools that can provide well-trained California dental assistants to the thousands of aspiring career seekers who are looking to invest in a flourishing career in dental healthcare.
With the right facilities, guidance, and materials — you too can operate a school in your territory and benefit from a consistent stream of additional income through tuition fees.
Launching a school allows you to significantly reduce overhead by utilizing your office and equipment during closed hours. We will train your staff to teach the school curriculum part-time. You’ll even get access to your own consistent pool of trained dental and certified assistants, reducing recruitment and turnover costs.
But the few educational business providers out there simply offer Do-It-Yourself packages — an assemblage of informational binders with very limited setup or operational support. And none specialize with California-specific curriculums with approved dental board certifications. Only Caldoc does.
For over 21 years, Caldoc operated exclusively as a collegiate partner to large flagship universities under the name of Medical Curriculum Partners (MCP), leasing out office space at local medical and dental practices to run our premium assistant training programs.
During that time, we witnessed many of these practice owners struggle to maintain or scale their dental businesses. Despite cash coming in from renting us their space, we realized that it wasn’t enough for them to just play the role of “passive” landlord. We knew there was great potential in letting them open their own schools and getting a fair share of the revenue.
All they needed was the right blueprint and the right kind of support…
This inspired our already successful company to extend our services beyond academic institutions and tailor a national school business model exclusively for dental and medical practice owners that are looking to expand their enterprise, and scope of passive income financial possibilities with very quick returns. In 2024, work began to franchise our national model and develop a very specific California-specific vocational school company and spun Caldoc off. California regulations are much more different than other states and no one was providing California dentists with programs that included California Dental Board Certifications, leaving graduate to go elsewhere to pursue these certifications, and making the dental assistant schools without them, less competitive.
Caldoc didn’t just want to be another package provider. We wanted to design a business program that can ensure the growth and success of school owners by becoming a vested and active partner throughout every step of their journey.
Turnkey California Dental Assisting School Program: We Do The Work For You
This is NOT a DIY package. This is a proven, all-inclusive, and step-by-step partnership that provides ongoing support and innovation.
Caldoc is an active partner with a vested interest in the success of each campus under our care. We deliberately designed the program so that we perform all the foundational work to get your California practice-based school up and running… with little-to-no effort on your part.
You’ll receive unparalleled support and guidance from our team every step of the way. Our flagship setup model takes care of everything from state regulatory licensing and marketing to admissions and campus management to ensure your campus success and growth.
And the best part? You keep 100% of all revenue.
With a California Dental Assisting Academy, you’ll be able to offer our State recognized and California Dental Board Approved certification courses with premium curriculum to students —at a fraction of the cost and time of brick-and-mortar institutions.
With low overhead and low startup cost — this is an excellent revenue generator to give you a stream of passive income. The result? You get to enjoy more personal time (remember long vacations?) and reduce dependency on production.
Our combined experience at all levels of education and unmatched industry insight makes us an ideal partner for your California Dental Assisting Academy.

2. Calfironia Advanced Dental Assisting Academy (RDAEF2)
3. California Dental Board Certifications Center
Multi-Page School Website & System Platforms
Our website design team will build and maintain a custom WordPress website for your California Dental Assisting Academy that is integrated with AI, our proprietary Customer Relationship Management (CRM), and Student Information System (SIS).
Onboarding & Instructor Training
We’ll train your staff on every process required to effectively run your school — from our student technology platforms to class instructional delivery and curriculum.
Digital & Local Marketing and Admissions
Not only does Caldoc provide you with a proven marketing strategy with all collaterals including flyers, ads, press releases, email campaign templates, landing pages, and social media assets, but our professional team of experienced school marketers will drive student leads for your campus to our trained in-house admissions team. Student leads are responded to immediately via text, phone call, and email to book a campus tour at your California Academy. Your campus will be sent text and email alerts of upcoming student tours, as well as input into a school calendar platform we will provide you with.
Access To Unlimited Support And Consultations
You’ll have access to unlimited training and consultations from our school department team after we license your school with the state board.
Tuition Lending Platform
Caldoc has established tuition lending partners, so you can skip the strict underwriting process, get automatic approval, and increase enrollments as a result.
Academy Growth Opportunities
As your Academy becomes more and more successful, Caldoc has other excellent curriculums for you to offer. Front desk receptionist, and orthodontic assisting are two add-on programs that have proven popular and profitable.
Our Partner Promise
We Don’t Make Money Off Dentists.
We Make Money With Dentists
Caldoc does not profit from our initial partnership fee (this is a typical start up cost for our schools and includes state licensing). We make money ONLY when you make money from enrolled students. While your revenue comes from paid in tuition (your average net is $4,800 per student after state licensure), Caldoc earns $300 per student to access the online lecture platform and is paid by the student. Students attend theoretical lectures online, and come into the practice for the hands-on training. This is why we’re able to offer our program at an accessible startup price. And as a partner, you keep 100% of all revenue.
Why Aspiring Dental Assistants Prefer California Dental Assisting Academies
Affordable Tuition Fees
National trade schools such as Apollo College and Bryman charge up to $18,000 in tuition fees. Other schools charge as much as $20,000 for a 9-month program. California Dental Assisting Academy tuitions are:
$7,500 for the 12-week Dental Assisting Program with five (5) California Dental Board Certifications.
$6,800 for the 8-week Orthodontic Assisting Program
$5,400 for the 7-week Front Office Dental Receptionist Program
Shorter Course Durations
Other schools require up to a year of classes. California Dental Assisting Academy programs take only 12 weeks to complete including dental. board certifications. Students can become qualified dental assistants in three months and start to get their return on tuition investment after 215 hours of work (based on the current national hourly rate of $19.97). This also means that your school can hold up to four sessions a year.
Hands-On Training & Chairside Experience
Our programs offer 162 hours of online lecture and hands-on lab instruction including 20 hours of clinical rotation (shadowing during patient hours), and a 40-hour internship with a practicing Dentist. This adds great value for the student as they’ll be working with real dentists, real equipment, and even with real patients.
Part-Time Learning Hours
Most schools only hold classes during office hours. You can choose to hold your classes in the evening and/or on weekends. This makes it more accessible and convenient for students that have day jobs or family commitments.
What Students Say About The California Dental Academy Dental Assisting Curriculum
The curriculum prepared me well for Dental Assisting in the real world
“I had a great time attending your Dental Assisting school. I found the instructors to be very knowledgeable and supportive. The curriculum prepared me well for Dental Assisting in the real world. I found employment immediately after graduation. Thank you so much for all of your help!”
Deborah Bonwitt
I learned many things that I hadn’t anticipated.
“I really enjoyed the classes and instructors in this program. I learned many things that I hadn’t anticipated. It was surreal because the learning takes place with a real dentist, in a real practice, and I also got to work with real patients. It didn’t feel like a school—it was more like actual on-the-job training.”
Amy Milner
This program was worth my time, energy, and tuition.
“I turned my resume into local dentist offices, which included excellent recommendations from the doctors at the school. Within the first week, I was scheduling interviews. I work full time now and I am very happy with my line of work. This program was worth my time, energy, and tuition. I am very pleased with what you have done for my life! Thanks again.”

Income That Gives You The Freedom To Create Your Dream Practice
With the additional income from your Dental Assisting School, you’ll no longer be held hostage by your daily production. Drop lousy insurance plans, see only the patients you want, and only take on cases that add great value to your skill.

Undisturbed Client Hours So You Never Have To Compromise Your Practice
Many other schools hold classes during the day, whereas you can offer classes in the evening and on weekends. This lets you compartmentalize better and be able to maximize both your practice and your school.
A Headstart Before The Rest So You Can Generate Additional Income In Months
It takes an average of 8 months to one year to obtain state regulatory school licensing in California. Caldoc will start by getting your Academy Exempt status within 45 days allowing you to start classes right away while waiting on state licensure approval. By starting a school now, you can generate much-needed enrollment revenue a few months down the road.
State Recognition That Makes Your School A Leading Practice In Your Territory
Being part of a premium brand with California Dental Board Certifications tells prospective students that they’ll receive quality training from your school, matched with affordable tuition fees and a lending platform that competitors can’t offer.

The Caldoc Dental School Setup Guarantee
Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE) Vocational School License
Licensing, Accreditation & Compliance: The First Critical Step To School Ownership
Each state in the U.S has its own unique requirements and application processes for granting licensure or approval for private postsecondary vocational schools, non-degree-granting, and degree-granting institutions. California is one of the more challenging states when it comes to vocational school education approvals.
This is a daunting and detailed process in both content and documentation — with very specific language, formats, and deadlines for submission.
If anything is out of balance within your business plan, financial projections, school curriculum, enrollment agreement, or even sample marketing — your application will be returned.
That’s why it’s important to have experienced and professional licensing consultants such as Caldoc at your side. We’ve completed licensure applications for schools in over 32 states.
When you become an Caldoc Partner, our Professional Compliance Team will save you over 30 hours of research and document preparation to ensure that your State Vocational School License is approved.
For A Limited Time Only: Become A Partner At A Founding Startup Fee
At the moment, we’re offering our flagship program at a founding startup fee that’s up to 40% lower than our competitors, despite the extensive range of additional services that we offer to our California partners.
With the demand for dental assistants and RDAEF2s in California, Caldoc is building a network of 300 California Dental Assisting and California Advanced Dental Assisting Academies throughout the state. Territories will be protected and are assigned to eligible Dentists on a first come first served basis. Our goal is to develop the largest leading brand for dental assisting education in the state of California. Increasing demand for our services is expected to rapidly grow over the next year as we strive to become the leading brand in the state for vocational education market.
This means that for the first six-months and for the first 20 Caldoc school owner partners, we will reduce our projected entry program fee to effectively support our growing community of Dentist Assisting School owners and uphold the integrity of our brand. Afterward, we will obviously need to increase the entry fee back to normal.
We can guarantee you that we will never offer this partnership program at a founding startup fee again.
So if you’re interested in expanding your practice, securing an additional six-figure income every year, and significantly improving your health and your life — we highly recommend that you take action now.
This one-time investment in yourself can be easily made back with your very first batch of students once you become a Caldoc Partner.
