Westchester School for Medical and Dental Assistants

Dental assisting programs often cluster in urban centers, but Westchester School for Medical and Dental Assistants offers its curriculum in Ardsley, a quieter corner of the county. The school operates out of a second-floor suite at 1053 Saw Mill River Rd #204, a stretch of road that balances commercial convenience with the residential calm of Westchester’s southern towns. Unlike larger institutions, this program focuses solely on medical and dental assisting, avoiding the broader scatter of healthcare disciplines. Courses here cover clinical procedures, radiography basics, and administrative workflows—skills that feed directly into dental offices and specialty practices.

Ardsley’s position between the Saw Mill Parkway and the Sprain Brook corridor makes the school accessible from much of the lower Hudson Valley. For those mapping out commutes or first visits, the directions place it just north of Dobbs Ferry’s village line, where the road widens into a mix of professional offices and low-rise retail. Questions about enrollment or program details go to (914) 682-9001—no automated menus, just the straightforward exchange of information. It’s the kind of place that fits into the rhythm of Westchester’s workforce training without fanfare, serving students who’d rather skip the city commute.
