California Fast-Track · 60–90 Days

California has a faster path to school ownership.


California's affiliate-campus subscription model lets practices skip the standalone BPPE application. Five California Dental Board certification course approvals with Infection Control and Radiation Safety courses embedded inside the Clinical Ready™ curriculum — so your students graduate with marketable certs that competitor schools simply don't offer.

Why California Is Different

Three Structural Advantages


Affiliate-Campus Model

Your practice operates as an affiliate campus under SMV's established school structure. Centralized launch. Stronger delivery consistency. No standalone BPPE application required to launch.

5 CA Dental Board Certs

Radiation Safety, Coronal Polishing, Infection Control, Pit & Fissure Sealants, and Dental Practice Act.

60–90 Day Launch Target

From discovery call to first cohort enrollment for qualified California practices. SMV’s affiliate-campus pathway gives owners a more structured launch process than the traditional standalone proprietary-school route.
