Share a Smile Program

Nominate a patient for our Share a Smile program
aimed at providing dental care to neighbors in need.

Nominate Patients from your Community

Treat Patients in your Office

Receive Lab Reimbursements


How it works

To be considered for the program, a community member must be nominated by a volunteer dentist who is invested in treating them.

  • Submit an Application. The volunteer dentist completes the Share a Smile Application and uploads the patient’s treatment plan.
  • Application review. The Share a Smile Committee reviews the application. 
  • Receive Notification. The volunteer dentist and nominee are notified of the application status. 
  • Complete the Patient Waiver. If approved, the patient completes and signs a treatment waiver before care begins. 
  • Provide Donated Care.  The volunteer dentist provides the approved dental treatment. 
  • Submit Post-care Information. The dentist completes a post-care form and submits before-and-after photos and eligible lab expenses for reimbursement, up to $1,000. 

Share a Smile Application

If you have a patient in your community who needs dental care and would benefit from donated treatment, complete the Share a Smile application to nominate them for consideration.
