Schedule Your Financial ReviewBurning 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 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 illnesses.
This can also sabotage the quality of your relationships because, by the time
you “punch out” of your practice, you have 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 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 to the comfortable and fulfilling life that you set
out to create when you first graduated from dental school?
Bringing Solutions - To Problems
INDUSTRY FACING:
The Problem
Fragmented Market. There is no national brand leader or recognition.
Our Solution
CalDoc has created a turnkey, scalable model designed to build the most recognizable and prestigious California-based dental assisting school brand—California Dental Assisting Academy. Through strategic partnerships with dental societies, dentist-operated campuses, and advanced automation technology, CalDoc is establishing the most trusted and prominent dental assisting education network in the state, with the infrastructure to expand statewide and ultimately become the state leader in workforce training.
The Problem
There is a major shortage of trained dental assistants, causing increased turnover, reduced efficiency, and a decline in the quality and consistency of patient care across the industry.
Our Solution
Deliver a premium, outcome-based hybrid curriculum—approved and utilized by practice owners and California dental societies—that combines high-level hands-on training with essential soft skills development. This ensures graduates enter the workforce confident, capable, and ready to elevate patient care from day one.
DENTIST FACING:
The Problem
Practice owners are increasingly forced to hire inexperienced job-seekers instead of committed career-driven professionals. This leads to constant turnover, inconsistent patient care, higher no-show rates, and a continual drain on training time and resources.
Our Solution
Build your own dental assistant training center and create a steady pipeline of motivated, career-focused talent—so you always have access to skilled team members who already understand your standards.
The Problem
Dentist incomes are dwindling while overhead and debt continue to rise, leaving many dentists working harder just to maintain the same financial stability.
Our Solution
Turn your practice into an income engine after patient hours—putting your facility to work for you and generating new revenue without adding clinical burnout.
The Problem
Dentists are tied to the operatory, trading every hour for clinical production. This creates constant pressure, long days, limited personal time, and the inability to take real vacations without losing income or falling behind.
Our Solution
A built-in, six-figure passive income stream that frees dentists from the chair- giving affiliate partners the financial and time flexibility to take true vacations, reduce stress, pay off debt faster, and invest in the life they actually want (including that future vacation home).
STUDENT FACING:
The Problem
Larger career schools are very expensive and long term durations. Typically $18,000 for most 9-month programs.
Our Solution
CalDoc's affiliate partner California Dental Assisting Academies can offer affordable tuition because investment in buildings, equipment, and large capital requirements is not necessary.
The Problem
Traditional 9-month career schools require students to quit their jobs or drastically cut their work hours to attend classes five days a week for nearly a year.
Our Solution
CalDoc eliminates these barriers with programs designed around real life. Our 12-week Saturday schedule and optional 4-week accelerated track allow students to become dental assistants without sacrificing their jobs, income, or family obligations—helping them start a new career faster, with stability and flexibility.

All while creating a high-value revenue stream for participating practices. This turns every participating dental practice into a micro-training center, producing job-ready Dental Assistants while stabilizing the workforce shortage.

I came across SMV/CalDoc Assistant Schools on Instagram . Once clicked I started a whole journey of something I always imagined doing but never knew how and where to start. Being a practice owning dentist we always struggle to find good assistants who we can rely on.
Over the years , the newly trained assistants came to work with very little skills learned in other schools . That is even the case with programs where people spend over 9 months in training and they still did not know anything.
That is when we decided to train people the way we wanted to and what better way to do that than doing it in the dental office. One click on Instagram and a quick email and call with the SMV/CalDoc team and they started the process for us. At first it felt very daunting to begin with, but after a few calls and Zoom meeting with Rachel about the process and discussing onboarding - simplified it all.
It was still not the easiest since we were new to the official teaching part but the partner team again would come as a savior when needed. Multiple calls with every little questions even to this day when we have our first class started has kept us going.
They helped us with the whole launch process and setting up the website and getting established as a vocational school . The online platform for the didactical portion is in-depth and easy to navigate for students and the instructors. The detailed syllabus , every module explained gives you an hour by hour outline to follow in a very systematic way .
Moving forward we are able to offer the the California Dental Board certifications like radiology and infection control.
I am very excited that we will make this venture a success with help of the whole team from SMV/CalDoc. Thank you!

"Working with CalDoc has been one of the best decisions for our practice and academy. Their expertise made establishing a turnkey dental assisting school seamless and stress-free. From exempting us with the state BPPE to securing California Dental Board course approvals in Radiation Safety, Infection Control, Coronal Polishing, Pit and Fissure Sealants, and the Dental Practice Act - CalDoc delivered excellence at every step.
Their LMS system has transformed the way we operate—streamlining management, enhancing student learning, and especially in creating passive income during nonclinical hours. The program has more than paid for itself and continues to provide lasting value.
If you’re a dentist or practice owner looking to train outstanding dental assistants within your own affiliate school, CalDoc makes it possible. Their professionalism, efficiency, and commitment to quality are unmatched. I give them my highest recommendation: 5 out of 5 stars."
I was surprised as to the efficiency of the onboarding process - especially
as to how quick your responses were.
The state credentialing work was done already for me, including the dental board
courses and did not affect our timeline and we were able to begin classes fairly quickly.

I've looked at other school opportunity packages and even tried one that promised to get my state license and stopped the work halfway through. The expensive package cost me $42,000 and to my dismay realized it was just a couple of binders and files that explained how to do things, and I was afraid that I would not have the time to do all the work myself.
Getting the school through the school licensure process itself, which is very complicated and time consuming was becoming like a full-time project in and of itself. I also realized their curriculum was just an outline and that I would have to build that out before I was to get state approval and prove that it was a sustainable program - which it wasn't.
I found CalDoc and they took on the responsibility of providing a ready to go program, then provided the curriculum in its entirety, trained me and my staff on all kinds of school aspects, then insured through aggressive marketing to drive students to my school. I like their set up since I'm mostly hands off to a large extent. The fees they get are very low for work they do and the technologies they provide, and it doesn't affect my bottom line. The amount of money I saved from developing anything from scratch far outweighs their initial (and much lower) startup cost. Yes there are monthly fees, but my first class had already provided my ROI fairly quickly. It's just a much Just a more fair and better pathway for colleagues without having to put out $42k as with that other company, so it's easy on the pocketbook - and very fair.
