In October 2009, representatives from Smiles Without Borders madae an exploratory trip to Kenya. The mission had two important goals: The first, to deliver a gift from this foundation of much-needed dental equipment and supplies to Tenwek Hospital in Western Kenya. the second goal was to determine the level of dental health of children attending government schools.
The Smiles Without Borders model has the potential of making a significant impact in the method of dental care delivery to children in elementary schools of Kenya. Negotiations with the government and dental universities continue as we search for adequate funding for the project.

One does not have to travel beyond our country's borders to find great numbers of people in need of dental care. In relatively affluent northern Colorado there are those in the economic shadows who cannot afford the cost of dental tretment.
With the assistance of several community organizations, Smiles Without Borders opened a temporary, free denture clinic in Fort Collins, Colorado called 3rd Chance. Twenty-one patients were identified who silently were suffering with pain of infected teeth, or who had no teeth. Forty-two units of full dentures were constructed in 14 clinical days.
Improved function and appearance helped these people restore their health and hope. . . some with new-found conficence would find jobs. The value of the services provided by the free clinic were over $60,000, and when surgical preparation is added, the total patient value amounted to almost $100,000.
Testimonials from Colorado USA
This is me with Dr. Schilling showing off my brand new smile. Because of the medicine I was taking for my MS, my mouth was full of bad teeth, decay and paing. In April, I went to the Women's Resource Center to see if they could help me. Jenny was able to get an oral surgeon to remove my remaining teeth and fix my gums. Annette got me signed up for their free denture clinic and in 3 weeks I had my beautiful new teeth. Now I can eat real food without hurting, and I can't stop smiling!
