PATIENT STORIES
The following stories are from real MDM patients who have agreed to let us share their photos and stories to promote awareness and improve oral health equity for working individuals and families who have to neglect dental care because traditional costs are not possible on their income and budget.
Many of the patients featured below have received additional financial support from our Agape grant fund. Their dental care was made possible by our community supporting each other. Thank you for making a difference in these lives and more. We are restoring hope, health, and opportunity one smile at a time.
Esther's Story
A single mother of two children, Esther's life was a delicate balancing act of love, responsibility, and unwavering faith. With only one source of income to support her family and her ailing relative battling cancer, Esther knew that every penny counted.
With the Agape Grant Scholarship, she was given the gift of new dentures and a confident smile — a reminder that even the most selfless of souls deserve to be cared for and cherished.
Patricia's Story
At 62 years old, Patricia bore the heavy burden of her past— domestic violence, trauma, and the neglect of her health.
For two long years, Patricia endured the silent agony of tooth loss. Her ability to nourish herself and recover was restricted. The Agape Grant Scholarship was a lifeline of compassion and support to obtain a new set of dentures to reclaim her smile.
WE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU
If you had a great experience at Mercy Dental Missions, we would love to hear about it. Please consider leaving us a review below.
"I believe it was Divine Intervention that I found MDM. They are one of the organizations whose mission statement and actual practice are congruent. From Alan as you walk in the front door, to the hygienist and dent techs as you are seated and finally the dentists themselves you are treated with integrity and respect, cared for as a human being not a profit coffer and all with amazing competence and skill. Plus, all that, and they are affordable."

"It has been 10 years since going to a dentist due to expenses from my last dental experience. I knew I really needed dental care. Today fearfully I went for my first visit. The staff was absolutely amazing. Kind, respectful , professional, and patient. The dentist explained everything and gave me a plan ideas to fix my teeth with costs that are affordable. I am so grateful for the staff. I wish I would have gone sooner. I'm am thankful for not being judged. I know they will help me one step at a time as I move forward to improve my oral health. Thank you. I feel blessed today."

"When you walk in the main door, you have this friendly guy who greets you and makes you feel like you’re important. The environment inside is peaceful and welcoming. They made me feel calm and that anxiety and fear somehow subsided. The room has all that a dentist needs to work on your teeth. Sanitized, clean, and computerized. Dr. Kepler made me feel at ease and was patient with me. She took her time explained the process and took care of my needs. They made me feel safe and pricing is affordable. I feel like a million bucks and recommend them to people like me who cannot afford the high cost of healthcare. Check them out and you won’t be disappointed."
