The Journey

About Us

The Dental Place Foundation was established to extend our commitment to caring beyond the walls of the dental office. What began as a passion for changing smiles has grown into a mission to change lives by bringing hope, healing, and opportunity to individuals and communities with limited access to care.

As the charitable arm of The Dental Place, the Foundation partners with communities, volunteers, and donors to provide compassionate outreach, scholarships, disaster relief, and innovative programs—including our Mobile Dental Clinic—to reach those who need us most.

Mission

To improve lives by expanding access to compassionate dental care, responding to communities in need, supporting education, and creating lasting opportunities for healthier futures.

Vision

To build healthier communities where every person has the opportunity to smile with confidence, regardless of their circumstances.

Our Commitment

The Dental Place Foundation is committed to bringing quality dental care, educational support, and hope to underserved communities across Jamaica.

Initiative

Mobile Dental Clinic Initiative

We are raising funds to purchase and equip a Mobile Dental Clinic to bring dental care directly to underserved communities.

Community Outreach

Current outreach focuses on communities affected by Hurricane Melissa that continue to experience limited access to dental care due to damaged infrastructure.
