Smile Outreach International (SOI) was born out of the founder, Dr. Mark Costes’s passion for utilizing his skill set and those of his professional colleagues to alleviate some of the pain and suffering that billions of people endure due to untreated dental disease. In fact, according to the World Health Organization, it is estimated that 3.5 billion people worldwide are affected due to the lack of access to dental care.
Smile Outreach International provides dental surgeries and services to underserved populations throughout the Third World several times yearly through volunteer mission trips. These services are provided through a network of volunteer licensed professionals, our incredible donors, and key industry partners.
