Apex Dental Partners’ Community Initiative Triumphs Again

Apex Dental Partners has made headlines once more with its remarkable community initiative, the Share A Smile Project. This year, the initiative provided an impressive $290,850 in donated dental care, bringing smiles to 253 patients across seven communities located in Texas, Oklahoma, and Colorado.

The 2026 Share A Smile Project marks a significant increase in the value of donated care compared to previous years, reflecting a 35% rise from last year's total of $215,000. The project not only underscores the organization's commitment to community health but also demonstrates the power of unified effort within the dental community.

More than 250 volunteers, including a dedicated group of clinicians, administrative staff, and community volunteers, participated in the events, efficiently executing 1,284 dental procedures at no cost to the patients. The wide-ranging spectrum of services provided during the initiative showcases the extensive resources and skills available within the Apex Dental community.

Dr. Layla Lohmann, Co-Founder and Vice President of Clinical Excellence at Apex Dental Partners, shared her thoughts on the project: "_Share A Smile is about using the skills and resources we have as a dental community to make a meaningful difference for people who need care._" Her statement highlights the essence of the initiative, emphasizing the shared mission to enhance lives through accessible dental services.

Significant Growth Since Inception

Since its inception in 2022, the Share A Smile Project has expanded significantly. Initially, around 50 volunteers provided assistance to 60 patients at three locations. Fast forward to 2026, where the initiative mobilized over 250 volunteers across various communities, including Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, Houston, Midwest City, Tulsa, and Lakewood. Such expansion demonstrates not only the project’s growing popularity but also its ability to adapt and meet the needs of a larger population over the years.

This year’s event can only be described as a runaway success, made possible through the invaluable collaboration between Apex-supported doctors, team members, and various community partners. These partnerships have been crucial, with vendors and donors stepping in to provide essential supplies, resources, and expertise, ensuring the smooth execution of this significant healthcare initiative.

Helping Those in Need

The focus on providing free dental care is particularly poignant, given the ongoing disparities in access to dental services across various demographics. Many individuals lack the means to seek necessary dental treatments, often postponing care until emergencies arise, which can lead to more significant health problems. The Share A Smile Project works to alleviate these barriers, offering essential dental services that many could not otherwise afford.

Through this collaborative approach, Apex Dental Partners recognizes its role in making a difference within the communities it serves. It not only aims at improving patient health and well-being but also strives to build a more equitable healthcare landscape where everyone has the opportunity to receive the care they need.
