Smokey Point Institute of Dental Assisting

Smokey Point Institute of Dental Assisting sits where dental training meets practical skill-building, a small but vital corner of the Arlington education landscape. Future dental assistants and hygienists sharpen their hands-on abilities here, learning chairside assisting, radiography techniques, infection control protocols, and patient interaction strategies amid a curriculum that balances classroom study with clinical practice.

The institute sits at 16825 Smokey Point Blvd B in Arlington—close to Marysville and Marysville-Tulalip if you’re riding the 530 corridor. Students carve out time between sessions on local transit or the park-and-ride, then dial (360) 653-5197 if they need to coordinate schedules or reach faculty outside typical class windows. A quick map gets you from Lake Stevens or north Everett in under 30 minutes without weaving through I-5 traffic.
