Smiles For Life was a rousing success this year! From March through June, our associated practices all strung together a web of empathy and helped strengthen our communities. But how did they do this? By providing their tooth whitening services for free! Instead of paying for their treatment, the patients then gave a donation to Smiles For Life, which was then paid forward through projects and co-operation with sister organizations.
With these funds, Smiles For Life has funded humanitarian trips to developing nations to improve dental health and living conditions. If you joined us this year, we would like to thank you on behalf of all our partners and participants. If you missed the window but are eager to participate next year, find out how to get involved below!

They all provide unique tools in the process and are a crucial part in our mission to make the world smile.
The Goal
In the end, our goal is to “do good.” This has been our motto at Smiles For Life for as long as we can remember. By “doing good,” we don’t place a burden on people. It is not about “paying it back.” Instead, we focus on doing our best to create a caring, compassionate world, simply because it is the right thing to do.
Smiles For Life is a project created and led by the Crown Council, a prestigious alliance of dental professionals committed to dental excellence, fighting oral cancer, and serving their communities and children’s charities.
