Everyone deserves a healthy smile. We support organizations delivering essential dental care to uninsured and underserved patients in Southwest Virginia—because oral health is essential health care.
Thousands of patients in rural Southwest Virginia face limited access to affordable, comprehensive dental care, a region known as a dental desert. From basic cleanings to delivering essential prosthetics like crowns and dentures, the need far outweighs available resources. Without consistent oral health care, people experience preventable pain, complications, and barriers to overall well-being.
Through the generous support of donors and partners, we help provide life-changing dental services to patients across 14 counties in Southwest Virginia.
