Vision & Beliefs
Dentistry is and always will be about caring and talented practitioners providing a highly specialized service to their patients. Dentists enter the profession overwhelmingly as a result of the gravitational pull between these rare skills and a great need in the marketplace. This is a very powerful convergence.
In addition to entering a market that needs their skills, dentists encounter a complex and ever changing business environment. This environment is increasingly risky for dentists and their patients. Dentists are carrying a far greater financial burden in completing their education and in establishing and maintaining a practice. Patients feel the squeeze of rising costs throughout the healthcare continuum and difficulty in identifying a general dentist and specialists to meet their needs efficiently.
At One Smile LLC, we have spent the last two decades navigating these challenges to deliver value to all of our constituents. Each is equally important to the success of the organization.

The Smiles for Everyone Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to delivering "Smiles for Everyone" by providing free dental care to those in need, both at home in the United States and around the world. The foundation is headquartered in Irvine, CA and supports one day dental clinics and extensive dental makeovers for individuals in need across the United States.
In December 2011, Smile Brands Inc. sponsored the Smiles for Everyone Foundations first dental mission trip to Asunción, Paraguay, where Smile Brands affiliated dentists, supported by company executives, donated their time and energy to provide dental care at orphanages and nutrition centers to 300 people, mostly underprivileged children, who desperately needed dental treatment. As part of this mission, the team built partnerships with in country providers who continue to receive support and funding from the foundation to provide ongoing dental care to those in need.
In addition to establishing the Paraguay International Outpost, the Smiles for Everyone Foundation has established International Outposts in Thailand, Ghana and Nicaragua. Our mission is to ensure that “Smiles for Everyone” truly means everyone, regardless of their lifestyle or where they live. To learn more please visit www.smilesforeveryone.org.
