I was honestly nervous about the whole going back to school but Miss Lanni and Miss Heilda were amazing instructors throughout the course! They were truly amazing teachers.. i went into the dental school not confident in myself at all. Them two made the school process so easy and less stressful. They want to you understand and if I didn’t they were quick to help me with what im understanding and what i needed to work on. When they say they don’t to see us fail, they will do the most to make sure your understanding the material and passing! I appreciate them two more than a review can explain

I had a great experience in the dental assistant program, and I’m very thankful for my instructors, Hilda, Lanni, and Dr. Maali. They were all very helpful and made learning easy to understand. They explained things clearly, gave us hands-on practice, and always made sure we were keeping up with the lessons. They really cared about helping us succeed and were always willing to answer questions. They also helped me grow as a person. They created a positive and supportive environment where I felt comfortable learning and gaining confidence. They always encouraged me to do my best and believe in myself. So thankful to have a program like this!

I’m gonna be a graduating student this year 2026, and it had been great! Mrs. Hilda would repeat and repeat until she knew we understood and would always let us come in to shadow and get as much experience as we could! Mrs. Lanni would come in on her off hours if needed to do one on one with me which helped so much with how nervous I would get and would keep going until I was comfortable! Both teachers were amazing in their own way and gave us so much courage! They don’t let you fail and follow you every step of the way I recommend!

I am finishing up my time with DAI. This is the BEST dental assisting program in Orlando. My instructors, Lanni and Hilda are some of the best in the business. With their years of experience, it has prepared me and my fellow DAs how to tackle the Dental world. Their drive to motivate and help us succeed is something I haven’t experienced before. They genuinely want to see you win. They will let you have 1-1s with them, they would let you know what topics you need to work on and are so INCREDIBLY PATIENT. I was even able to come shadow in the office and they would always make time to squeeze us in. That is how much they care and genuinely want their students to be successful in this field. They make it look so easy. As well as Dr. Maali, he is so kind and generous as well and a great dentist as well. I’ve never seen a dentist so involved with their school like he is. Another genuine person who wants to see his students succeed. Everyone here is just great! If you are looking for a great DA program in the Orlando area, please go to DAI. You won’t regret coming here. I promise!

I had a wonderful experience at the dental institute. Dr. Mali is an outstanding doctor – very patient, and professional. He takes the time to explain everything clearly and always makes sure patients feel comfortable and confident in their care.The instructors, Mrs. Lanni and Mrs. Hilda, are at equally amazing. They are not only highly skilled but also incredibly supportive and encouraging. Their dedication to teaching and guiding students is amazing, and they create such a positive and welcoming learning environment. Overall, the institute is an excellent place for both treatment and education. I truly appreciate the professionalism, care, and kindness shown by Dr. Mali, Mrs. Lanni, and Mrs. Hilda. Highly recommend!
