Give Back A Smile | American Academy Of Cosmetic Dentistry Charitable Foundation
Provides a network of volunteer cosmetic dentists who restore the damaged teeth of domestic violence survivors who received injuries from a former intimate partner or spouse. Repair is provided to the "smile zone" only (generally, the front teeth), however, a limited amount of work may be done for teeth outside of the smile zone in some cases. Program does not replace or fix dental work. In other words, dental work that does not fit, looks bad, no longer works, an implant that was started but not completed or any work that has been completed by a GBAS dentist in the past.
