Senior patients, Minority patients and Veteran patients fall into this category. This program will fulfill the big imminent social need by attending these patients aiming to target and serve 1,525,400 Veterans in the State of Florida with free of cost specialized prosthetically driven dental implant surgeries and corresponding final restorations and comprehensive oral rehabilitation. Camarlengo Community Dental Center is a Project under the umbrella of CAMARLENGO FOUNDATION INC, a US non-profit helping and attending our under-served and under-privileged Veterans, Seniors and Minorities of Florida smile again through charitable dental healthcare and life-changing ministry. This new and exciting Dentalcare and ministry initiative will make a marked difference in the lives of thousands of deserving Veterans and Seniors, giving them hope once again, that we together care in gratitude about their great service to our country. Full Description: The Veteran population in the United States exceeds 22 million. Although our Veterans have demonstrated extraordinary leadership and disciplinary skills, many of our troops have trouble assimilating back into civilian life. This unfortunate fact is highlighted by the large number of Veterans who are unemployed, making up over 8% of this population. Most Veterans do not qualify for VA dental benefits. In fact, approximately 95% of our nation’s Veterans do not have access to VA dental care. When it comes to dental benefits, only Veterans with a 100% disability rating are eligible. This leaves thousands of our Veterans returning home facing bleak job prospects and the need for healthy new smiles. The leadership of Camarlengo Community Dental Center is seeking sponsors and partners who appreciate the sacrifices our men and women in uniform have given. Approximately 130,000 Veterans living along the Treasure Coast of Florida do not have access to VA dental benefits. Many of these Veterans have been suffering with excruciating dental pain for years and face dismal career opportunities along with poor self-esteem due to loss of teeth and smiles. Camarlengo’s Community Dental Center new building will be located in the beautiful Treasure Coast of Florida. Our goals through PROGRAM: MAKE A VETERAN SMILE AGAIN is to put smiles on our Veterans’ faces and place renewed hope within their hearts, via comprehensive dental implant treatment plans and best surgical practices and procedures with holistic full-mouth prosthetics and restorations to restore their much needed integral dental health. Community Dentistry Outreach Service: 1- A large number of low-income patients and VA patients in all the US, do not have access to full insurance coverage, nor have enough dental coverage, nor have the funds to seek private dental healthcare. 2- The program above will fulfill the big imminent social need by attending these patients aiming to target and serve 1,525,400 veterans in the State of Florida with free of cost specialized prosthetically driven dental implant surgeries and corresponding final restorations and integrated oral rehabilitation. 3- An estimated $25,000 US dollars are the average budget to fully rehabilitate only one maxilla of a patient via dental implant surgery.
