The Smiles for Everyone Foundation Welcomes Applicants for Implant Program

IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 6, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Smiles for Everyone Foundation is accepting candidates for their Implanting Inspiration program, which will provide free dental implants for low income, underinsured individuals across the nation.

About sixty-nine percent of adults in the United States have lost at least one tooth, and dental implants are the new standard of care for permanent treatment. As the most cost efficient treatment, implants will last throughout a patient's lifetime and prevent the need for future care resulting in additional costs. However, the initial price of an implant can range anywhere between three to five thousand dollars. High up-front costs can push low-income individuals into choosing temporary treatment that will ultimately lead to more money spent over time.

Implanting Inspiration will provide underserved patients with free dental implants and remove the financial burden of the costs. This program is expected to provide up to $500,000 in donated dentistry to patients across the nation by year end. Those interested in applying can do so through the Implanting Inspiration Application Form before September 30th.

Implanting Inspiration is made possible through partnerships with Smile Brands Inc., Implant Direct and DDS Lab.
