Give Back a Smile

Description:

The Give Back a Smile progrram was established to connect eligible survivors of domestic and/or sexual violence who've received dental injuries from the abuse with volunteer cosmetic dentists throughout the United States and Canada. Services are based on volunteer availability at the time you apply. If we do not have an available volunteer located within 200 miles of your location, we unfortunately cannot provide you services. Please be aware that our volunteer pool is more limited if you need dental care beyond the front 8 teeth.

The program does NOT help with cavities, gum disease, jaw injuries, or orthodontic treatment (braces, shifted teeth, and/or spaces between teeth).

The program does NOT replace or fix dental work. In other words, dental work that does not fit, looks bad, no longer works, an implant that was started but not completed or any work that has been completed by a GBAS dentist in the past.
