The LVI Advantage

Perhaps you have seen the LVI logo on our web site or seen displays in Vogue or Oprah magazines and wondered exactly what is LVI? Moreover, why is it important in selecting our office to perform your cosmetic or restorative treatment?

For the most part, cosmetic dentistry is not taught in dental school. Most general dentists do not have a comprehensive understanding of cosmetic dentistry at all. That is where the Las Vegas Institute (LVI) has stepped in. It is the premier institution for providing dentists with comprehensive advanced education through intensive and hands-on clinical training. At the 62,000 square foot training center, programs feature the most progressive, up-to-date clinical procedures taught by top experts in the field, with the latest equipment.

LVI provides the finest clinical training specifically in aesthetic dentistry. Graduates are well-equipped to perform aesthetic reconstruction, including porcelain veneers and smile makeovers.

There is no official oversight board that certifies dentists as specializing in "cosmetic dentistry," unlike orthodontists, oral surgeons, etc. Therefore any type of dentist can refer to him- or herself as a cosmetic dentist. Thus nothing is more important than advanced postgraduate training and experience in selecting a good cosmetic dentist.

Dr. Wilcox devotes well over 200 hours a year to continuing education. Through an email forum with LVI graduates around the world there is almost daily updating of education through this valuable interaction. This commitment to lifelong learning and intense passion for excellence provide a quality dental practice.
