Tooth Whitening

Imagine being able to do  something to benefit needy children all over the world, while improving your smile at the same time. By taking part in the Smiles For Life campaign, you can do just that!

If you haven’t heard, Smiles For Life is the charity arm of the Crown Council, an alliance of dentists committed to professional excellence and community service. All you have to do to participate is schedule teeth whitening at a participating Crown Council dentist office.

Instead of paying the dentist, you pay the Smiles For Life Foundation. Half of that payment will go to a local charity. That’s all there is to it.

Sound easy? It is! Now in its twenty-first year, Smiles For Life has raised more than forty million dollars since 1998. Hundreds of children’s charities have benefited, including St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, Feed the Children, and the Ronald McDonald House.

“100% of the money goes straight to the kids,” said country music star Garth Brooks, whose Garth Brooks Teammates for Kids Foundation is among the charities to benefit.

The 2019 Smiles For Life campaign began in March and runs through June. Hundreds of dental practices in the United States and Canada are taking part. The teeth whitening supplies are all donated by Ultradent, the maker of professional-grade teeth whitening products used by dentists everywhere.

The Smiles For Life campaign is one of the great win-win situations of our time, and it is in full swing from now until the end of June.

By taking part in Smiles For Life, you get a brilliant, professionally-whitened smile, and at the same time help disadvantaged children all over the world. 2019 marks its twenty-first year.

Smiles For Life is the charity arm of the Crown Council. Since launching in 1998, it has raised more than forty million dollars.

It works like this: your schedule a teeth whitening appointment with a participating Crown Council dentist. Instead of paying the dentist, you write a check to the Smiles For Life Foundation. Half of the payment goes to the dentist’s local charity partner, and the rest goes to Smiles For Life.

The whitening services are offered at substantially reduced prices. “It’s a unique opportunity to improve the lives of disadvantaged children, while also enhancing your own smile,” said Crown Council director Greg Anderson. All of the whitening products used in Smiles For Life, he added, are donated by Ultradent. “The Ultradent team has worked really hard to earn its reputation as the nation’s premier tooth whitening company.”

Smiles For Life supports dental programs that benefit economically disadvantaged kids all over the world. Hundreds of Crown Council dentists in the United States and Canada are taking part.

Mark your calendar: Friday, March 1 kicks off the 2019 edition of the Smiles for Life campaign, which runs through June. Hundreds of elite dentists across the United States and Canada lend their teeth whitening skills to raise money for needy children all over the world.

“Smiles for Life works very simply,” said Greg Anderson, the head of Crown Council, which operates the campaign. “Ultradent provides the whitening material. [Participating dentists] provide the professional service. The patient directly contributes to the Smiles for Life Foundation for the cost of the whitening, either by check or by credit card.”

Smiles for Life has raised more than forty million dollars since it began in 1998. All of the funds directly benefit hundreds of children’s charities, helping kids who are underprivileged, seriously ill, or disabled. Participating charities include St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, Ronald McDonald House, and Feed the Children.

“The really cool part?” said singer-songwriter Garth Brooks, whose Teammates for Kids Foundation also participates. “100% of the money goes straight to the kids.”

“We have two great partners with Smiles for Life,” Greg Anderson said. “One is Ultradent,” the global dental manufacturing company. “Ultradent provides us with whitening material for absolutely no cost.” The second partner, he continued, is My Social Practice, an award-winning social media strategy firm. “They donate all of the design of all of the marketing materials for the campaign.”

Participating dental practices throughout North America, all of them Crown Council members, donate their teeth whitening services. Follow this link to find a participating Smiles For Life dentist near you.

Happy New Year, from Smiles For Life!

Excitement here is growing: the 2019 Smiles For Life fundraising campaign is now just a few months away. We are confident we will equal or surpass last year’s total – thanks to the generosity of participating Crown Council dental practices across the United States and Canada, and to you.

Each year, beginning in March and running through June, hundreds of dental practices professionally whiten teeth in order to raise money. The funds go to seriously ill, disabled, and underprivileged kids all over the world.

Here’s how it works: participating dentists offer their patients professional teeth bleaching at greatly reduced prices. Payments are made not to the dentist, but directly to the Smiles For Life Foudation. Half of each payment goes to a local children’s charity chosen by the dentist, and the other half goes a children’s charity approved by Smiles For Life.

That’s all there is to it! It doesn’t get much simpler. Since it began in 1998, Smiles For Life has raised more than forty million dollars for children’s charities.

Smiles For Life has also sponsored teams of dentists visiting developing countries to provide dental care. “At the end of the day,” one of them observed, “it’s really not about how many teeth you fix … it’s about the people that you put your arm around, and let them know that we’re all God’s children.”

Participating dental practices throughout North America, all of them Crown Council members, donate their teeth whitening services. Supplies are donated by longtime Smiles for Life supporter Ultradent, the maker of Opalescence teeth whitening gels.
