I’m proud to be a student at Southern Ontario Dental College. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and truly care about our success. The hands-on clinical training is excellent and really prepares us for real-world practice. The learning environment is welcoming and diverse, and I’ve grown so much both professionally and personally since joining.
Highly recommend this college to anyone passionate about dental hygiene and looking for a strong start in the field!

I enjoyed the dental assisting program here at SODC. It was a 10 month program that explored the complexities, importance, and significance of a dental assistant's role in dentistry. They provided a background knowledge of ethics, legal aspects, practice management, charting, radiography, sciences and more. My instructor, Anne, was one of the best teachers that I have had the pleasure of learning from. Not only were her lectures interesting, but they have shaped my learning experience to becoming an amazing dental assistant who can provide patients with a standard of care that they truly deserve. The clinic opportunities are helpful but there could definitely be more clinical practice if the school is looking to improve. I would definitely recommend this school's dental assisting program to anyone who takes their education seriously. Be sure to do your research and find the school that is truly meant for you!

I can’t say enough good things about my time at SODC. As a mature student, I was very grateful for all the support and help I received. The teachers truly care about your success and we’ll go the extra mile if you show any interest in learning. I’m very grateful for my time at SODC. I would recommend it to anyone

To ANYONE that wants to be a patient here please DO NOT waste your time, and money it took a family member more than 10 appoitments we are talking each appointment 3-4 hours not counting driving time waiting just in the seat. I feel very bad to all the students that go here its crazy how much they stress them. Most of appointments is the students waiting for teachers to come give them permission to continue. The school has its rule to do certain steps each time even if the students is doing well they do not allow them to do more in one seating. I do not recommend this place to anybody please save your time and money somewhere else

Highly Recommend Southern Ontario Dental College (SODC) in Ancaster!

If you're considering becoming a dental hygienist in Canada, SODC is truly the one and only school I would recommend. From the moment you arrive, the peaceful and beautiful natural surroundings create a calming environment something that makes a real difference in a high-intensity program.

The dental hygiene program is intensive and well-structured, combining online theory classes with in-person clinical practice. This hybrid format is so convenient you don’t need to commute every day, which helps with work-life balance.

The school provides everything you need for your studies and clinical care, including textbooks and high-quality dental materials. The instructors are incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and truly care about each student’s success. The entire staff is welcoming, kind, and supportive it really feels like a community.

I'm so grateful for my experience at SODC. If you’re serious about becoming a skilled and confident dental hygienist, this is the place to be!

Applied on-line early March to be a patient, as heard they were desperate for patients. No response. Called and left messages several times. No response. Called again and finally spoke to person who confirmed yes, they needed new patients and someone would contact me right away. That was 3 weeks ago. Guess they don't need patients so much

I’ve heard horror stories about many DH schools & was super nervous to start the program… but SODC has been amazing!! All of the staff are extremely supportive at this school & truly want the best for their students. They want us to succeed as bad as we do, and it shows! SODC provides a very warm, welcoming, and supportive environment. I got that impression right away before even starting the program. All of my teachers have been SO kind and helpful, as well as the admin staff, and Dr. Estrabillo & his wife too! I got accepted to 4 DH schools & this was the only one that I felt cared about me as a person (not just as a dollar sign $$). I am so happy with my choice & will never look back.

I’m a current student at SODH and love the supportive instructors and hands-on training. Great place to learn and grow as a future dental hygienist!
