Built in Cleveland. Built for Cleveland.

VIP Dental Assisting School was founded with a clear purpose: to create meaningful career opportunities within our local community.

Under the leadership of Dr. Dale Kates, CEO and Founder of Premier Smiles Orthodontics, VIP was established to address two growing needs — the increasing demand for skilled dental assistants and the desire for accessible, career-focused education in Northeast Ohio.

Dr. Kates recognized that many individuals were seeking stable, rewarding careers in healthcare but were discouraged by the time and cost associated with traditional programs. VIP was created to bridge that gap — offering accelerated, hands-on training inside a real clinical environment while remaining affordable and community-centered.

As a Cleveland-based program, VIP is proud to invest in local talent, support area dental practices, and strengthen the future of oral healthcare across Greater Cleveland.

This isn’t just a school.
It’s a pathway — built by local leadership, for local opportunity.

Choose to VIP & change your life.
