education6 Yankee Dental Congress — Jan. 31, 2014 Ad By LVI Staff n Welcome to the Yankee Dental Congress, and congratulations on actively moving your understanding and professional success forward! It is only through excellent educa- tion that we individually grow and develop as dental health profession- als and, through that, build a practice that is not just successful but deliv- ers comprehensive and high-quality care. Asapatient,IexpectthebestcareI can find. As a dentist, I want to deliver the best care possible. That takes us to the power of continuing education and, as dentists, we are faced with many choices in continuing educa- tion. As a way to introduce you to the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies, or LVI, I want to out- line what LVI is about and what void it fills in your practice. The alumni who have completed programs at LVI were given an independent survey, and unlike the typical surveys of dentists, 99.7 percent love being a dentist, and of those surveyed, 92 percent enjoy their profession more since they started their training at LVI. That alone is reason enough to go to LVI and find out more. While the programs at LVI cover the full breadth of dentistry, the most powerful and life-changing program is generally reported as being Core I, or “Advanced Functional Dentistry — The Power of Physiologic Based Occlusion.” It is a three-day course that is designed for clinicians and their teams to learn together about the power of getting their patients’ physiology on their side. In this program, clinicians can learn how to start the process of tak- ing control of their practice and start to enjoy the full benefits of owning a practice and providing high-quality dentistry.Regardlessofwhetheritisa solo practice or a group setting, every dentist can start the process of creat- ing comprehensive care experiences for their patients. We will discuss why some cases that dentists are asked to do by their patients are actually danger- ous cases to restore cosmetically. We will discover the developmental sci- ence behind how unattractive smiles evolve and what cases may need the help of auxiliary health-care pro- fessionals to get the patient feeling better. The impact of musculoskeletal signs and symptoms will be explored, and we will look at how the support- ing soft tissue is the most important diagnostic tool you have — not simply the gingiva but the entire soft-tissue support of the structures and not just in the mouth but also in the rest of the body. A successful restorative practice shouldnotbebuiltoninsurancereim- bursement schedules. An independ- ent business should stand not on the whimsanddistractionsofafeesched- ule but rather on the ideal benefits of comprehensive care balance by the patients’ needs and desires. Dentistry can be a challenging and thankless business, but it doesn’t have to be. Through complete and comprehensive diagnosis, there is an amazing world of thank yous and hugs and tears that our patients bring to us when we change their lives. TheCoreIprogramatLVIisthefirst step on that journey. That’s why when you call, we answer the phone: “LVI, where lives are changing daily!” Renew your passion 5 The Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies in Las Vegas.
