-The Monterey County Gives! team.
The mission of Dentistry4Vets is to provide quality dental care and dental hygiene to eligible veterans living in Monterey, Santa Cruz, and San Benito Counties.
Dentistry4Vets is breaking down barriers to quality dental care that have long plagued our heroic veterans. Our big goal for 2025 is a larger facility to help us care for more veterans and continue providing comprehensive, long-term and emergency dental care to our 15,000 veterans living in Monterey County.
Imagine a world where every veteran has a dedicated dental home to receive top-notch care tailored to their unique needs. Dentistry4Vets was born from this vision, and now, we're expanding to meet the overwhelming demand.
In 2023 alone, we provided life-changing dental treatments to 781 veterans. The impact? Remarkable. Nearly 90% of our recent survey respondents reported increased participation in meaningful activities!
Our mission is clear:
1. To offer veterans specialized experts trained to understand and address their specific dental challenges.
2. To alleviate pain and discomfort, ensuring every veteran is free from dental issues that hinder their daily lives.
3. To enhance the overall health and well-being of our cherished veteran community.
With your support, we can continue this vital work and ensure every veteran receives the dental care they deserve.
For many years I lived with the embarrassment of missing, discolored and broken front teeth. As a result, I very seldom smiled and very often I would cover my mouth with my hand as I encountered friends or neighbors. It was the main reason I was chronically unemployed as I did not have the confidence to undergo a job interview. Dentistry4Vets has changed my life. I now have a beautiful smile that I can be proud of and also so very grateful.
