WE DID IT! 🎉

Governor Abigail Spanberger joined us yesterday to officially cut the ribbon on our expansion — adding SEVEN new dental chairs and bringing our total to 21 treatment spaces!

This means we can serve even more families and individuals in Southwest Virginia who need affordable dental care.

"Southwest Virginia deserves the other things that all the other areas of the state get," said Dr. Scott Miller. "It's overwhelming, the support that we've had since we've opened this."

Thank you to our donors, partners, and community for making this possible. This is just the beginning. 💙
