When I found about the Smarterda, I was totally lost; I had failed my dental assistant board exam and I was not sure whether I would pass the 2nd time try. So I heard from a friend about the website and spoke with Claire. I felt relieved after speaking with her, and I took a trial. It was so simple, convenient, and user friendly. You can use it anytime: On your computer or mobile phone. It's amazing. I studied, completed all the quizzes and I was ready to take the test. After the board exam I was confident I had passed. If you take it seriously and study hard you will do just fine. I recommend it to everyone that feels like the book is too massive and complex to study. The Smarterda is direct and concise.

You worked really hard to become a dental assistant.

Are you unsure whether you will pass the Dental Assisting Boards (NDAEB®)?


If you feel anxious, you are not alone. Lots of students fear the last part of the journey - the NDAEB®. While there are lots of success stories, there are also lots of students who failed.


You can win this challenge!

By now, you already know a lot of dental assisting. SmarterDA is here to help you cross the finish line. Don't feel like you are alone! Our instructors are here to answer your questions, and Claire (Founder) is here to be your support.

Our system is designed specifically for students like yourself.


We have the perfect review course for you!

This is NOT a boring textbook. Use your phone and computer to study and practice. You will have access to:

+ Study guides straight to the point
+ Practice questions with immediate feedback
+ NDAEB® format quizzes 
----> Case studies
----> Matching questions


Case studies and matching questions

It is not enough to learn and memorize. You need to practice in the format of the NDAEB®. The NDAEB® features 3 types of questions:

+ Simple question with 1 answer
+ Case studies
+ Matching questions


SmarterDA has all of the types of questions for you. There are TWO special sections, dedicated to the questions formats you may not be familiar with. 

+ Practice 50+ questions on case studies
+ Practice 50+ question on matching scenarios

After you complete our course and quizzes, you will feel so much more confident.


It is a mental game

The board exams are NOT for the weak heart. You have to solve 200 questions in 4 hours. And when you sit for the exam, students feel nervous. 

You can reach your goals by learning and practicing. We intend to help you with that. 

And you already invested over $400 for the exam. Do NOT take any chances.
