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.”
