Apex Dental Partners' Share A Smile Project Provides $290,850 in Free Dental Care Across Seven Communities

DALLAS, Oct. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Apex Dental Partners today announced the impact of its 2026 Share A Smile Project, an annual community service initiative, which delivered $290,850 in donated dental care to 253 patients across seven communities in Texas, Oklahoma, and Colorado.

More than 250 volunteers and over a dozen business sponsors participated in this year's event, including clinicians, administrative team members, and community volunteers. Across seven Apex-supported host locations, they helped complete 1,284 dental procedures at no cost to patients.

The value of donated care increased approximately 35% from 2025, when Share A Smile provided $215,000 in free dental services.

"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," said Dr. Layla Lohmann, Co-Founder and Vice President of Clinical Excellence at Apex Dental Partners. "The growth of this initiative reflects the commitment of our team members, the generosity of our community partners who continue to support this work, and Apex's mission of serving others, changing lives."

Share A Smile has expanded significantly since its first events in 2022, when approximately 50 volunteers served 60 patients across three locations. In 2026, the initiative brought together more than 250 volunteers across the Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, Houston, Midwest City, Tulsa and Lakewood communities.

The project is made possible through collaboration among Apex-supported doctors and team members, along with vendors, donors and community partners who contribute supplies, resources, expertise and other forms of support.
