Victoria V.

 I’m from Brazil, and I couldn’t be more grateful to be welcomed with such open arms by this amazing dental assisting school in the U.S.

I love dentistry, and Sunrise was a big part of the beginning of my journey in the dental field here in America — helping me become a confident and skilled dental assistant!

The instructors were incredible, the place is beautiful with modern equipment, and my classmates were just as amazing.

When I revalidate my degree as a dentist in the U.S., I will always carry Sunrise Dental Assisting Academy in my heart as the place where it all began. I’ll remember it with a lot of love and appreciation.

This memory will forever stay in my heart, filled with gratitude.

Once again, thank you so much, Sunrise Dental Assisting Academy — you are truly amazing!
