Operation Patriot Smiles is a charitable initiative dedicated to providing free dental implants to US military veterans. Unlike medical care which is provided by traditional avenues like the VA , dental care is only accessible to a veteran who is at a 100 % disability rating. Most veterans are not at this rating and are unable to get access to this expensive yet much needed dental care. Dental treatment is also one of the most requested services by veterans. Operation Patriot Smiles aims to bridge this gap and in its initial phase 30 implants are being placed on 18 veterans at no cost to them. This initiative highlights the power that citizens have in directly contributing to the wellbeing of our veterans and in making a huge impact in the quality of life of those who have served us selflessly and courageously.
