The first thing you will notice is that our program is very short and a shorter program means less tuition. We focus on hands-on skills and essential knowledge so that you spend your time learning the things you will use every day. We believe hands-on skills and abilities are more important than book knowledge.
Because we provide hands-on experience in classes, we do not require our students to complete externships. At Winder ATS, our dentists personally work with all the students individually during class hours. Any students who would like additional experience are invited to spend time observing and participating in real patient care during business hours in our office and other offices in our area, including several speciality offices.
Our classes are taught at Total Transformation Dental and Spa (located at 152 N. Broad Street in Winder, GA), dental office of Dr. Doug Baxter and Dr. Julie Marshall. With this practice established in 1964, we have many years of experience in dentistry to offer to our students.
Our fees are all inclusive! Our students pay an application fee to apply and reserve placement for classes, then tuition will cover all books, work books, syllabus, training materials and supplies. The only additional cost our students incur is the purchase of a set of scrubs to wear to class.
Dr. Julie Marshall, D.M.D., graduated from the Medical College of Georgia with a degree in dental medicine in 1988 and soon after followed Dr. Douglas Baxter, D.M.D., graduating from the University of South Carolina in 1992 also with a degree in dental medicine. At Total Transformation Dental and Spa, the brother-sister pair practices general dentistry with an emphasis in family, restorative, and cosmetic care. Both enjoy working with families to promote and maintain oral health. Both Doctors continually further their education of cosmetic and restorative dentistry through professional memberships in the American Dental Association, Georgia Dental Association, Academy of Facial Esthetics and the Academy of General Dentistry.
