COMPASSION IN ACTION

"Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, ​as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms." - 1 Peter 4:10

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to provide compassionate, life-changing dental care to those in need. With a special focus on vulnerable populations, we are committed to delivering free and reduced-cost dental services to underserved communities both locally and globally. By addressing critical dental needs and promoting oral health education, we aim to alleviate pain, bring hope, restore dignity, and empower individuals to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.

OUR VISION

  1. FREE DENTISTRY - Our "Day of Mercy" is a FREE volunteer-led charitable event dedicated to providing essential dental care to the most vulnerable members of our community.
  2. REDUCED COST - In our Aberg Ave, location we provide quality dental care at around 50% of the cost of traditional costs. We provide this to uninsured/underinsured community members who have put off dental treatment due to cost.
  3. GLOBAL MISSIONS - Through our Global Missions program, Mercy Dental Missions reaches impoverished areas in developing countries where communities have little or no access to dental care. Our dedicated teams of volunteers travel internationally to provide FREE essential dental treatment, alleviate pain, and improve overall health for those most in need. Every trip is an opportunity to bring compassion, healing, and hope to underserved populations, transforming lives one smile at a time.
  4. AGAPE GRANT PROGRAM - Our Agape Grant Program is a powerful way to extend additional help to patients who are experiencing an abrupt or difficult situation that makes even our reduced fees impossible to cover. This initiative not only expands access to essential dental services but also allows us to extend God's love as we better understand and connect with the personal stories of those we serve together. Join us in transforming lives and creating brighter futures, one smile at a time.
