Crystal Benavidez

Hello! My name is Crystal, and I am passionate about teaching dental assisting. What might seem like a routine task to some is, to me, a journey of empowerment and growth. Dental assistants are the unsung heroes behind every successful dental practice.

Teaching is not just about sharing technical knowledge; it's about nurturing future professionals who will impact lives. Since becoming an instructor, I have given my students hands-on opportunities through internships, Delta Dental outreach, Colorado Mission of Mercy volunteering, and scholarships. Guiding aspiring dental assistants through chair-side procedures, sterilization techniques, and patient communication is my way of contributing to the continued excellence of oral healthcare.

I provide a safe, fun, and exciting class environment. Learning can be an adventure, and the classroom can be a place of excitement and laughter. There is never a class without one of my very dry jokes.
