Smile Together is a certified B Corporation with a mission to tackle oral health inequality for healthier happier communities.
Covering Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, we’re one of the South West’s largest NHS referral and emergency dental care providers. We’re proudly commissioned by NHS England to provide urgent and emergency dental treatments for people who don’t have their own dentist, run out-of-hours surgeries and apply expert skills to treat children and adults with a range of special care needs alongside oral surgery, children’s orthodontics and treatments under general anaesthetic in a hospital setting. We also deliver NHS care and competitively priced private dentistry from practices based in the heart of their communities, see children for free and run dedicated clinics for children in care and those experiencing homelessness.
An award-winning, innovative mission-led organisation, we function as an employee-owned community interest company and social enterprise with clear rules about reinvesting our profits back into patient facilities, our community and environment – over £6 million to date!
Each year our Brighter Smiles campaign brings practical tooth-brushing clubs, fluoride varnishing and oral health education to around 5,000 children in areas of high decay across Cornish communities, while our award-winning Smiles At Sea campaign sees our team visiting harboursides across Cornwall and Devon to provide dental treatments and oral health advice to fisherfolk who rarely get the chance to visit a dentist due to the demands of their work. Our teams frequently reach further into their local communities, partnering with local charities and doing what they can to improve oral health outcomes.
We’re a committed and friendly values-based team that puts our people, our patients, our community and increasingly our planet first.
