During the month of April, we’re having a fundraiser to help out an amazing charity called Smile Train. They provide free corrective surgeries and therapy for children around the world who were born with cleft palate. This condition has devastating effects on a child’s physical and emotional health, but can be corrected with a surgery that costs as low as $250. For every dental implant procedure we start in April, we’ll make a donation that helps many children get the high-quality medical and dental care they desperately need. Not only can you restore your smile with implants from a dentist in Orlando that look and feel fantastic, but you’ll be making a huge difference in the lives of these children at the same time. Keep reading to learn more about the important work this charity is doing and how you can help!
