Front Range Community College will use funding from a $835,000 grant to create a two-year associate degree program in dental hygiene.
In addition to the new program, the college will add 10 more chairs at its current six-chair dental clinic.
The college already has a one-year certification program for dental assistants, which is the only CODA accredited dental assistant program north of the Denver-Metro area, the report said.
The college was one of four in Colorado to receive funding in May from the Delta Dental of Colorado Foundation.
At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place September 14-15 in Chicago, dental leaders and executives will gain insights into emerging technologies, practice growth strategies and the evolving landscape of dental care delivery, with a focus on innovation, patient experience and operational excellence.
