About
Our Roots
Dental health has a strong impact on a person’s comprehensive health and well-being, but it is not easily accessible or affordable to a large portion of people in our community. We are seeking to improve quality of life within our community by providing rehabilitation for low-income, homeless, and veteran populations through affordable and even free dental care.
Beyond physical treatment, it can be very difficult for members of these populations to secure employment above minimum wage that is able to cover basic living expenses or provide for a family. Together We Smile partners with Star Dental Institute to provide hands-on vocational training through paid internships that will create marketable employment abilities and establish strong career opportunities.
Activities
Homeless Outreach
Together We Smile is based out of Colorado Springs, Colorado, where homelessness is a prevalent and challenging issue. We want to do our part to help, and we love giving people their smiles back. Having a smile to be proud of can be life-changing, and we see it in our office every day.
Get Involved
Our work is made possible by generous donations from the dental community, medical community, and other friends. We also are very grateful for our partnerships with local organizations like the Dream Centers, Mary’s Home, Mt. Carmel Veterans Service Center, Rocky Mountain Health Care Services, Springs Rescue Mission, and others who partner in our work to better the health and well-being of our community.
"A genuine smile comes from the heart, but a healthy smile needs good dental care."
