The best way to know if you are eligible is to read the guidelines! You can view the guidelines and a sample of the application here:

We have dentists throughout the United States. The availability changes daily. If your application is approved we will look for an available dentist in your area and provide you with their information.

Once you have clicked the 'submit' button you should receive an automatic confirmation email letting you know that your application was submitted. If you do not receive this email check to make sure you clicked the 'submit' button by going to the application portal and entering the email you used to start your application.

Treatments depend on what the volunteer dentist who sees you is able to donate. Treatments vary and we cannot guarantee that you will be able to receive the exact treatment you might expect due to your dental needs and the volunteer’s specific situation. Implants are not standard treatment within the program.

In order to make sure we can help applicants continue through the application process as quickly as possible, we typically don't reply to requests for an update. If your application was submitted and has not been reviewed, you will receive an email once your application has been reviewed. If your application has been pre-approved, you can check on your progress in the Applicant Portal.

No, Give Back a Smile is not affiliated with Medicaid, Medicare, or a health insurance plan. Give Back a Smile is the primary program of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry Charitable Foundation. Volunteer dentists donate their time and services to eligible survivors of intimate partner violence or sexual violence.
