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 VALUES

We do the right thing and are honest in every aspect of our lives.

We treat people with respect because we understand that we are all unique, valuable, and talented.

We emphasize the positive in every situation and action. We choose compliments over criticism.

We treat others the way THEY want to be treated. We put ourselves in the shoes of others.

We trust each other. We help each other to grow and succeed.

We SERVE our patients and each other. We aspire to make a difference in the lives of all the people we encounter.

We are humble, patient, and kind. We don't criticize or judge others. We know that we are all unique, talented, and capable to do anything.

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 PROGRAMS

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 traditional dental 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 to 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.

We strive to go beyond internal operations and actively engage with the community to fulfill our mission.
