About Us

The Las Vegas Dental Association represents dentists across Southern Nevada with one clear purpose: strengthen the profession while protecting the public we serve. We bring dentists together, advocate for high standards, and work to ensure Nevada’s dental community operates with integrity, fairness, and transparency.

Our Mission

We support a regulated profession grounded in fair, consistent standards that keep patients safe and help dentists deliver excellent care. We push for policies that elevate the quality of dentistry throughout Nevada and maintain the public’s trust.

Our Commitment to Accountability

We believe accountability is essential for a healthy profession. That is why we work to ensure:
    •    The Nevada State Board of Dental Examiners follows the recommendations made in past dental board audits. These audits revealed weaknesses in the complaints and investigations processes, and we advocate for corrective action that improves efficiency, fairness, and clarity.
    •    Review panel members and board members carry out their duties without bias. Active marketplace participants should make decisions that are fair to all dentists rather than to selective groups.
    •    Every investigation or complaint is handled with ANONYMITY, consistency, transparency, and due process.

What We Do

Beyond advocacy, we support dentists and the public through a wide range of responsibilities:
    •    Professional Support: We help members navigate regulatory concerns, practice management issues, and industry changes.
    •    Networking and Collaboration: We create spaces for dentists to share ideas, learn from peers, and strengthen the local professional community.
    •    Ethics and Standards: We encourage practices that uphold the integrity of the profession and reinforce patient trust.
    •    Advocacy: We represent the interests of Nevada dentists at local and state levels while keeping patient protection at the center of our work.

Moving the Profession Forward

The Las Vegas Dental Association exists to ensure that dentistry in Nevada grows stronger, more transparent, and more trusted each year. We stand for fairness. We stand for professionalism. And we stand for every dentist and patient who wants a system that works the way it should.
