Community Involvement
Our team is dedicated to serving the community with the highest quality of care.
Dentistry from the Heart
Beginning in 2011, our office participated in Dentistry from the Heart one day out of every year to provide free dental work to those in the most need. Volunteers from our office and the community worked together to provide fillings, extractions, and cleanings all day long at absolutely no cost to the patients. Throughout the day, we would serve nearly 100 people, donating almost $100,000 of dental care to the community. We know that our office has been blessed throughout the years, and we have made it a priority to give back however and whenever we can. That’s why we’ve continued our tradition of giving back by partnering with Remote Area Medical.
Remote Area Medical (RAM)
We currently partner with Remote Area Medical to provide free dental care to members of our community. We perform everything from fillings to extractions during our dedicated day of charity dentistry.
Helping Haitian Angels
The Smiles for Life dental team is proud to support the non-profit organization Helping Haitian Angels. Dr. McIntyre, Becky, and other members of our team travel to the orphanage in the Kay Anj Village and provide all the dental care they can to the children in need and the surrounding community. Through the years, the dental clinic has improved greatly with new equipment donated by suppliers and through monetary donations from our patients and community members.
Dr. McIntyre, Becky, and some of our team will be returning to Haiti this year, and they will still face great challenges in treating the children without further improved equipment. If you would like to help us provide much needed dental care to these children please click here, then select “Dental Clinic” under the section labeled “Apply my gift to:”. Doing this will help to purchase vitally needed equipment for our dental clinic in the Kay Anj Village.
Check out our blog post here for more information and to see tons of pictures from theMcIntyre’s visit to Haiti.
RAM Event
Our office participated in RAM – Remote Area Medical – in March of 2019. This event provided free vision and medical screenings and dental cleanings, fillings and extractions. It was a great coming together of MANY people in our community. On Saturday we were able to treat 471 people and provide $206,485 in services. It was a great day and a great blessing to be part of it
Smiles for Life Foundation Whitening Campaign
For the first time in 2019, our office participated in the Smiles for Life Foundation Whitening Campaign. From March through June, the proceeds from every smile that was whitened in our office went to charities that help children in need around the world. We raised nearly $5,000 and hope to raise even more next year!
Cavity-Free Kids Club
At Smiles for Life, we recognize the importance of good dental health from the start. That is why we have our very own Cavity-Free Kids Club to celebrate our patients ages 13 and under who come in without any cavities to their cleaning appointments.
These patients receive a certificate, a medal, and a coupon for free ice cream from Kline’s Dairy Bar. We also like to honor them by putting their picture up on our Wall of Fame in the office as well as posting their photo to our Facebook page (both with signed parental permission only). Of course, it wouldn’t be a club without a meeting! Every year we celebrate our cavity-free kids by hosting a “club meeting” party.
The Cavity-Free Kids Club encourages kids to keep their smile healthy. They are rewarded with a party atPump It Up.
Patient Appreciation Picnic
At Smiles for Life, we go the extra mile to create a warm and inviting atmosphere for our patients. In addition to our exceptional teeth whitening services, we love finding ways to make your experience even more enjoyable.
Every summer, we host a highly anticipated event that fills our hearts with joy—the Patient Appreciation Picnic! It’s our way of expressing our gratitude to our incredible patients, their friends, and families, as well as the wonderful community we serve.
During this special occasion, our clinic transforms into a vibrant gathering place, adorned with colorful decorations and filled with laughter and happiness. We roll out the red carpet for our guests, providing an array of delightful prizes, delectable food, mouthwatering desserts, and captivating entertainment. It’s a celebration of smiles and the meaningful connections we have with our patients.
The Patient Appreciation Picnic serves as a heartfelt “thank you” for the love and support our patients shower upon us every day. We cherish these opportunities to interact with our community, not only within the confines of our dental office but also in a setting where we can simply enjoy each other’s company and create lasting memories.
At Smiles for Life, we believe that a beautiful smile extends beyond the boundaries of dental treatment. It encompasses the joy we share, the relationships we build, and the sense of belonging within our community. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve our patients and express our appreciation through events like the Patient Appreciation Picnic.
Join us in this celebration of smiles, laughter, and gratitude—it would be our pleasure to show you just how much you mean to us!
Open Doors
Twice a year, our office volunteers at Open Doors, a local homeless shelter. Open Doors provides shelter and a warm meal for up to 40 people a day. It is a community shelter that is sponsored by a different church organization each week. When Smiles for Life volunteers, we prepare and serve food at whichever church is hosting, providing a home-made meal to many people who would have gone hungry.
Halloween Candy Give-Back for the Troops
After every Halloween, we sponsor a Halloween Candy Give-Back program in our office. Anyone and everyone is invited to bring in their Halloween candy to donate. We then gather up the candy and send it as a treat to the deployed U.S. troops. In the past, we have collected as much as 300 pounds! When people stop by to drop off their candy, we offer them the opportunity to write a note of gratitude to the troops that we send along with the treats.
Every Halloween, we gather candy and send it to our troops as a token of our gratitude.
Patient Appreciation Picnic
In the spirit of spreading happiness and making a difference, our office has been dedicated to supporting our community in various ways. Since 2015, we have proudly partnered with Toys for Tots as a donation center, collecting new, unwrapped toys for children in need. It brings us immense joy to be part of this meaningful initiative.
As the holiday season approaches, we understand that it can be easy to get swept up in the hustle and bustle. However, we firmly believe in taking a moment to reflect and remember the true essence of this time—giving back and thinking of others. We feel privileged to have the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of children and families who may be facing challenges.
Being a donation spot for Toys for Tots has become a cherished tradition for our office, and it is something we are truly grateful for. Witnessing the generosity of our patients, staff, and community as they come together to support this cause warms our hearts. It serves as a reminder that small acts of kindness can create significant ripples of joy and make a lasting difference in someone’s life.
We wholeheartedly embrace the spirit of giving during the holiday season and beyond. The smiles on the faces of children receiving these toys remind us of the power of compassion and the importance of community support. As we look to the future, we are excited to continue serving as a donation center for Toys for Tots, ensuring that this tradition thrives for years to come.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to our efforts in spreading happiness and making a positive impact in our community. Your generosity and compassion bring light and hope to those who need it most. Together, we can continue to make a difference and create joy-filled memories for countless children.

When I embarked on my journey to find the right dental implant service, I initially gravitated towards the two prominent national brands in the field. However, my search took an unexpected and incredibly satisfying turn when I decided to explore the offerings of a local implant provider. Little did I know that this local gem would redefine my expectations of what a top-notch implant service should be like. Here's why my experience with them was nothing short of extraordinary: Meticulous Charting of Teeth and Gums: ★★★★★ One of the first things that set this local provider apart from the national giants was their unwavering commitment to precision and detail. While the big names seemed more focused on the implant procedure itself, this local gem took the time to meticulously chart the condition of my teeth and gums. This attention to detail ensured that my implant procedure was tailored to my specific needs and challenges. It was clear that they understood the importance of a solid foundation for the success of the implants. Infection Prevention Education: ★★★★★ Implant surgery is not without its risks, and one of the key concerns is the possibility of infection. What truly impressed me was the depth of information and guidance this local provider offered regarding infection prevention. They didn't just gloss over this critical aspect; they took the time to discuss the infection possibilities associated with dental implants and, more importantly, outlined a comprehensive plan to combat and mitigate such conditions. Their proactive approach to ensuring patient safety was truly reassuring. First-Year Implant Supervision: ★★★★★ Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of my experience with this local implant provider was their commitment to the long-term success of my dental implants. While the national brands seemed content with the implant procedure itself, this local provider went above and beyond by offering required supervision for the first year following the implant surgery. This level of aftercare and ongoing support was simply unparalleled and gave me peace of mind knowing that my oral health was in capable hands. In conclusion, my exploration journey for dental implants took an unexpected turn when I discovered this exceptional local implant provider. Their dedication to detail, infection prevention, and post-surgery care were nothing short of outstanding. They not only surpassed the standards set by the national brands but also redefined my expectations of what a truly exceptional implant service should encompass. If you're in search of dental implants and want an experience that goes above and beyond, I wholeheartedly recommend giving this local gem a visit. They've certainly earned my trust and gratitude.

Nicole Gray
Morgan is the best! I hadn’t been to the dentist in 10+ years and was nervous even though I’d always been a fan of the dentist (weird I know). Morgan explained her recommendations, how the plan would work and set me up with my various appointment needs. She always remembers details of my life and asks about specific things mentioned previously. She’s wonderful and a great asset to Smiles for Life!
