Our Mission

SmileFaith Foundation is a 501c3 Non-Profit that provides smiles and hope through charitable dental care, wellness programs, and life changing resources. SmileFaith helps our under-served Veterans in Florida, and disadvantaged residents of the Appalachian Mountains of Kentucky to smile again. SmileFaith currently offers 4 Non-Profit dental programs to these communities, with hopes to expand our services & locations in the future. Since the company was formed in July 2009, SmileFaith Foundation has provided over 12 million dollars in charitable dental care.

Most people are not aware that 95% of Veterans do not have access to VA dental benefits. Many of these Veterans have been suffering with excruciating dental pain for years, and face dismal career opportunities, along with poor self-esteem due to loss of teeth, and their smiles. SmileFaith Foundation is doing something about it, and has built the SmileFaith Veterans Dental Clinic, which is located in New Port Richey, FL. This clinic is designed to put smiles on our Veterans’ faces once again!

SmileFaith is not affiliated with the Veterans Administration (VA), but is intended to bridge the gap for our under-served Veterans who have zero access to VA dental benefits. We are the only charitable dental clinic of this kind in the United States that serves Veterans year round. Additionally, all of our wonderful dentists, specialists, assistants, hygienists, and awesome volunteers contribute their time, and skills as their way of saying, “Thank you for your service!”

"As a dental student at UFCD and a volunteer at Gainesvile Community Ministries I see countless Veterans every week that are unable to get the dental care they need. It's heartbreaking, and efforts like this make a tremendous impact on this population.
