Project Smiles is a non-profit dental organization started by Dr. Phillip Kemp in 2006. The mission of Project Smiles is two-fold. We provide dentistry to the poor and under-served of Nashville, particularly for victims of domestic abuse and/or life-controlling issues, while training and developing young dentists and dental professionals.
Project Smiles is not just about teeth. Our heart is for both dentists and patients to be impacted in such a way that not only are smiles changed, but hearts are as well. We want our patients to know that they are the most important person to us while they are in our chair, that we care for them as a person, not just their teeth.
For our young dentists, Project Smiles gives the opportunity to be mentored by a group of dentists who have been practicing for years. We strive to instill in our dentists that there is more to dentistry than teeth, there is a bigger picture to be seen and experienced through the practice of dentistry. We have the opportunity to change lives, and what we, as dentists, do with that opportunity is essential to who we are.
