DENTAL PROGRAM

Our Dental program is dedicated to providing essential dental care to eligible veterans who do not receive VA dental care.

Our mission is to offer vital dental services, as well as corrective treatments to return that confident smile and proper oral function. Making a meaningful difference while improving the Veterans’ oral health and overall well-being.

All veterans should have dental resources available to help maintain health, build confidence, and have an increased chance of meaningful career placement. These factors are a vital component to the successful transition of our veterans into civilian life. We identify qualified local dental providers who will donate their time (and/or offer a reduced rate of their services) to veterans in need.
