Our Instructors
Our instructors are seasoned professionals with extensive backgrounds in dental assisting, education, and clinical practice. They are passionate about sharing their knowledge and empowering students with the skills needed to excel in the dental field. With their guidance, you’ll not only learn the technical aspects of dental assisting but also gain valuable insights into real-world applications and patient care.
"I began in the dental field in 1995 through the US Army. Continued after in the civilian sector to now. I love dentistry and it is a passion that evolves daily. Passing this on to our students allows them to love this art. I look forward to share my dream with all."

Halen Davis, BSN, EFDA
Instructor | BSN | EFDA
"Hi, my name is Halen Davis. I am married and have two beautiful children. I am a registered nurse and have been a dental assistant going on 8 years. While I am a full-time nurse, I still practice in the dental world. I don't think I'll ever be able to walk away from dental. It is one of my passions. I love being able to teach and inspire new dental assistants to grow and expand the dental community. I went through this same program, and I love that I get to help those who are in the seat I once sat. Becoming a dental assistant is an art, a practice, and very rewarding, and I want to help guide you through the whole process 🦷"
Ronnie Thompson, EFDA
Instructor | EFDA
"Hi, I’m Ronnie Thompson, a dedicated instructor at Aim Dental Assisting Academy. I’ve been working in dentistry for over 11 years, and I bring a wealth of experience to my teaching. Before my career in dentistry, I played college football at the University of South Carolina. As a proud father of two, I value the opportunity to make a positive impact on people’s lives every day. What I love most about my work is the ability to help others, whether it’s through education or improving patients' oral health."
