This spring, the College connected with dental assisting students across Alberta to help prepare them for the transition into professional practice.

Carly Simon, Regulatory Compliance Manager, spoke with graduates about applying for provisional registration, what to expect as new regulated professionals, and how the College supports safe practice in the public interest.

Provisional registration allows new graduates to practise under supervision while beginning their careers. Supervision may be provided by a Registered Dental Assistant, dentist, dental hygienist, denturist, or another professional approved by the College.

We are proud to support future dental assistants as they take the next step in their professional journey.

We’ve launched an upgraded CADA portal to provide a more reliable and improved experience for registrants.

Dental assistants, check your email inbox for your personal link to your portal account.

The first time you sign in, you’ll need to reset your password before accessing your registrant account.

The portal still provides you with one central hub to access and update your information. To make your transition to the upgraded portal as smooth as possible, we’ll be introducing portal updates in stages.
