Smile for Service

Supporting Those Who Served 

Dental Group of Baltimore City proudly supports Smile for Service, a structured community initiative focused on providing dental care access to U.S. military veterans facing financial hardship or coverage gaps. 

Through this program, eligible veterans may receive case-based dental support delivered through our participating clinics. 

 

Why This Program Exists 

While many veterans have earned benefits, access to dental care can still be limited due to: 

  • Gaps in eligibility 
  • Transition periods without coverage 
  • Financial hardship 
  • Long wait times 

Smile for Service helps bridge that gap in a structured and responsible way. 

 

How It Works 

The process is simple and respectful: 

  1. Veteran completes a confidential intake form 
  1. Eligibility and service verification are reviewed 
  1. Clinical evaluation and case classification 
  1. Treatment is delivered based on clinical urgency and available program resources 

Priority is determined by need and funding availability. 

 

Who May Qualify

Smile for Service considers: 

  • Disabled veterans 
  • Uninsured or underinsured veterans 
  • Financial hardship cases 
  • Transitioning service members (case-based review) 

Each case is reviewed individually.
