Volunteer Work & Donations

Brighter Smiles Creating a Brighter Community

At Durango Dentistry community activism is one of our founding principles. Not only do we donate money, but we love to volunteer our time as well. We identify local non-profit organizations that we would like to partner with. Our patients donate $250.00 through our Smiles for Durango Program in the office. We gift you with custom-made whitening trays and bleach to take home. 100% of the proceeds get donated to those local charities, the chance to help make a difference in our community is PRICELESS. With your help, we are able to support local non-profit organizations by brightening one smile at a time!

With that support from our Durango and SW Colorado community we have been able to support numerous local charities, here are some of the donation recipients:
