Smiles For Everyone Foundation Achieves Best-Performing Quarter to Date with Record Impact and Lowest Cost Per Patient

COSTA MESA, Calif., Dec. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Smile Brands, one of the nation's leading providers of business support services to dental groups across the U.S, today announced that its charitable foundation, the Smiles For Everyone Foundation (SFEF), completed a transformative year, highlighted by the best-performing quarter to date that significantly expanded its global outreach and delivered the highest value of donated care at its most efficient rate.

The foundation's success was fueled by substantial growth in its "outposts," the mobile and international clinics that bring essential dental services to areas lacking access. Q3 of 2025 marked SFEF's greatest impact to date, creating 20,560 smiles. Over the past five years, the Foundation has treated approximately 180,000 people, and its eight partner countries have received over $1.5 million in donated dental supplies and financial assistance.

"This milestone year is a testament to the dedication of our volunteer dentists and support teams, who commit their time and expertise," said Steven C. Bilt, CEO of Smile Brands and chairman of the Smiles for Everyone Foundation. "We've not only expanded our capacity through new international outposts, but have also deepened our impact, ensuring people who need critical dental care receive it, regardless of their location or financial situation."

KEY Q3 SFEF ACHIEVEMENTS

• Growing Outposts: Launching three new international outreach locations (Zimbabwe, Costa Rica, and Zambia) and increasing the number of active mobile clinics operating in the U.S.
• Volunteer Dedication: Affiliated doctors and staff contributed thousands of hours of volunteer service.
• Comprehensive Care: Providing essential services from preventative cleanings to complex restorative procedures for thousands of individuals. Highlights include restoring a young mother's smile in Paraguay, helping a girl in Rwanda with fluorosis, and serving 157 children in Laos.

The expansion of SFEF's operational model allows for sustainable, high-impact care delivery, solidifying its role as a leader in global dental philanthropy. The Foundation aims to continue this growth trajectory by focusing on training local healthcare workers to ensure long-term sustainability.

Looking ahead, the Foundation's strategic goal is to establish 12 active outposts across every region of the world by 2028, creating a lasting legacy of partnership-driven impact. Corporate sponsors play a critical role in making this expansion possible through fueling innovation, enabling outreach, and helping transform smiles across the world.
