Smile Fund USA

At Smile Fund USA, our goal is to address the disparity in dental care by making cosmetic dental procedures accessible and affordable for underserved Americans. We strongly believe in the right of everyone to a healthy smile, and we are committed to realizing this vision by providing top-notch dental care without imposing financial obstacles. Our approach involves compassionate outreach, educational initiatives, and collaborative partnerships, all aimed at restoring confidence and enhancing oral health for individuals who may face challenges in accessing these transformative procedures.

Smile Fund USA is a newly established 501(c)(3) public charity focused on making life-changing dental care (especially dental implants) more affordable for people who would otherwise go without treatment because of cost.

Our mission is straightforward: reduce barriers to dental health for underserved communities by providing grant vouchers that help eligible patients access essential dental services.

Whom we serve

Smile Fund USA primarily serves low- and no-income adults who are uninsured or underinsured and have a medically necessary need for restorative dental care that affects everyday function (chewing, speaking, and smiling with confidence).

Because we are in the early stages and are powered by limited volunteer hours, we currently review and work with applications from San Diego County and Los Angeles County.

Our values

• Dignity & compassion: We believe quality dental care is not a privilege reserved for the wealthy. It’s a community health need.
• Stewardship & accountability: We use restricted vouchers and approved providers to prevent misuse and keep our charitable mission intact.
• Transparency & trust: We aim to be clear about how donations support our programs, and we share key organizational information publicly.
• Collaboration: We work closely with dental professionals and community partners to expand access and build capacity.
