Doctors and their teams from nearly 450 Aspen Dental-branded practices across 37 states are opening their doors exclusively to veterans as part of the annual Day of Service on Saturday, June 9.

Thousands of veterans will receive free dental care as Aspen’s way of thanking them for their service. Appointments are still available so please spread the word to the veterans in your community.

Appointments are required. Please call 1-844-ASPEN HMM to find a participating office near you. You can also visit https://www.aspendental.com/schedule-an-appointment

Since 2014, dentists and their teams from Aspen Dental practices across the country have provided free care to over 17,000 veterans and people in need. That's a lot of happy mouths! And we're just getting started.

So, why do we do it? Nearly 150 million Americans didn't go to the dentist last year. Millions more live in places where there is little or no access to care. Other barriers get in the way too - like cost, lack of insurance, and fear. This is especially challenging for the majority of U.S. veterans as they are not eligible for dental benefits through the Veterans Administration unless they are 100% disabled, have a service-related mouth injury or were a prisoner of war.
