Changing lives one smile at a time!

Founded in 2015 by the late Dr. William Broadfoot, and Dr. Joe Kirbo, this year marks 9 years for the Partnership Dental Clinic. Nine years of smiles brightened, and volunteers making that possible.

Our dental clinic is built 100% on volunteer hours from local dentists, dental assistants, hygienists, and Wiregrass Tech students fulfilling their community service hours.

Through these volunteers we have provided $543,232 worth of services to 361 patients. That is over 3,000 procedures including exams, x-rays, cleanings, restorations, extractions and dentures.

We often underestimate the power of a smile. Smiles can lift a mood, improve someone’s day and change a life. As one patient said of receiving his dentures, “I smiled before, but now I glow.”

THANK YOU TO ALL OUR VOLUNTEERS!

Dr. William Broadfoot, Dr. Joe Kirbo, Dr. Ron Shiver, Dr. Ranya Tomlinson, Dr. Dan Duggan, Dr. Lacey Hanson, Dr. Bo Broadfoot, Dr. Heather Colson, Dr. Milli Hunt, Dr. Dell Bennett, Dr. Sanders, Dr. Michael Marable, Dr. Castor and all of the Dental Assistants, Hygienists, and dental students!
