What Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies does

LVI Global is a privately held post-graduate dental education institution founded in 1995 and headquartered at 9501 Hillwood Dr, Las Vegas, NV. The company specializes in continuing education for practicing dentists, with a curriculum built around Physiologic Based Dentistry and neuromuscular occlusal principles, covering TMD/TMJ, dental sleep medicine, cosmetic veneers, digital workflows, orthodontics, implants, endodontics, laser dentistry, and orofacial myofunctional therapy. Core training uses electronic diagnostic instrumentation including surface electromyography (EMG), mandibular kinesiography, TENS, and electrosonography, alongside technology partner integrations with firms such as Align Technology (iTero), BioResearch, Planmeca, and Fotona. The MicrO2 dental sleep appliance, co-developed with MicroDental, is an FDA-approved proprietary product used in the sleep disordered breathing curriculum.

The institution delivers education through three channels: on-campus courses at the Las Vegas facility, online courses, and regional events in various cities, with a wholly-owned Australian subsidiary (LVI Global Australia) serving Asia-Pacific dentists. Revenue is generated from one-time course tuition (approximately $2,495-$2,995 per doctor), recurring Fellowship and Mastership credentialing fees, online subscriptions, and store merchandise. Advanced LVI Fellowship and LVI Mastership (LVIM) credentials provide professional certification and ongoing alumni engagement. The company has trained over 10,000 dentists from more than 43 nations and reports tens of thousands of patients treated by LVI-trained practices.

Direct peers

Directly comparable to LVI as a high-end, dentist-focused CE institution with a similar premium course-based model.

Broad incumbents

• American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD): Large professional association providing accredited cosmetic dentistry CE, credentialing, and an annual scientific session. Comparable to LVI as a CE and credentialing body, but with a broader membership-based model rather than a private continuum.
• American Dental Association (ADA) – CE Programs: Largest U.S. dental professional body offering CERP-accredited CE across hundreds of providers and a broad online catalog. Comparable to LVI as a major dental CE ecosystem, but with a much broader, association-based offering.

Emerging players

• DentalXP: Online-focused dental CE platform with on-demand video courses, live events, and case-based learning. Comparable to LVI in subject overlap (implants, occlusion, aesthetics) but differentiated by its primarily digital delivery model.

Others

• Align Technology (iTero) – Education: Manufacturer of Invisalign and iTero scanners that runs its own clinician education and certification programs. Comparable to LVI as a partner that educates dentists on advanced digital workflows, and a strategic channel for clear aligner training.
• MicroDental Laboratories: Dental laboratory and co-developer of the MicrO2 sleep appliance with LVI. Comparable as a close commercial partner in dental sleep medicine and an adjacent enabler of LVI's sleep curriculum.
