Bridging the Gap between Education and Employment

Who Are We?

I am A.J. Peak and my dad is the great Dr. Peak and together, we are the co-founders of the Colorado Dental Assisting School. My years of management experience, combined with my father’s clinical wisdom and some good old fashioned entrepreneurial ingenuity led to this brain child. What started out as an idea conjured up in Dad’s dentist chair after a little laughing gas and some serious staffing dilemmas has resulted in one of the greatest things since fluoride – the Colorado Dental Assisting School.

How We Created Our School

Dad and I established a network of professionals, Peak Dental Services, Inc., years before, but we couldn’t find top notch assistants with any hands-on experience. If they weren’t working two jobs to pay back hefty student loans, they were lacking any real-world dental skills. We soon realized what the problem was…

Too much school and not enough drool!

Months of schooling with little practical training made for exhausted and inexperienced candidates. What we needed were fully knowledgeable, highly ambitious assistants with practical education . And nobody was offering that, yet! So we looked to our pool of nearly 110 specialists, general dentists, orthodontists and dental professionals within our Peak Dental Services Network and found what we needed. Our vision was clearer than a panoramic X-Ray: Maximize the assistant’s educational experience and minimize the time!

Who Helps Us Keep it Going?

With some nudging and bribery, we convinced one of our dental experts to take on the role of Lead Dental Instructor of the Colorado Dental Assisting School.
