Mission

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.

The Big Idea

Dentistry4Vets is a permanent dental office for high-quality, comprehensive dental care for veterans who would otherwise not have access to the care they need.

The majority of veterans do not qualify for dental care or dental hygiene under the VA guidelines. The qualifications are steep and only a tiny fraction of veterans have access. This historical lack of dental care is causing devasting effects on the well-being and overall physical, mental, and social health of our veterans.

In the coming year, we will restore wellness and improve lives for up to 550 veterans through quality, comprehensive dental care. Our impact will include:

• 75-95% progress toward decreased pain and swelling.
• 75-95% assisted toward having the ability to properly masticate (chew) food.
• 30-50% report an increase in life-engaging activities that are important to them, such as going back to work or spending time with family.

Before coming to Dentistry4Vets, I was suffering with chipped teeth, loose teeth, and bad gums. Now that I have been treated, I have better overall improvement and will soon be getting partial denture implants. I'm getting out there again with family and friends. I'm feeling healthier and have a better smile.
