At Periodontal Associates, we take pride in giving back to our community through our partnership with Donated Dental Services (DDS), a program under the Dental Lifeline Network. This incredible initiative provides free, comprehensive dental care to our nation’s most vulnerable individuals—those with disabilities, the elderly, and those who are medically fragile. Many veterans, who have selflessly served our country, also receive much-needed dental care through this program. For those who cannot afford necessary treatment and lack access to public aid, DDS is a lifeline.
One such individual we recently had the privilege of helping is Fred. Fred’s circumstances had made it nearly impossible for him to receive the dental care he desperately needed. Through the DDS program, Dr. Douglas Heller, Dr. Eric Beckman, and our dedicated team were able to step in and make a difference in his life. Fred’s treatment was a collaborative effort that not only improved his oral health but also had a positive impact on his overall well-being.
The DDS program operates through a vast volunteer network of 12,500 dentists and 3,200 dental labs across the United States. Since its inception in 1985, DDS has surpassed $500 million in donated dental therapies, transforming the lives of 170,000 people. We are honored to be a part of this life-changing program.
At Periodontal Associates, our commitment extends beyond just providing treatment—we are dedicated to ensuring our patients understand their oral health and the treatment options available to them.
