"Smiles From the Heart 2026" will provide free dental care for underserved individuals and families in need

RALEIGH, N.C., April 16, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Village Dental will open its doors on Saturday, May 2 for Smiles From the Heart 2026, a free dental day offering cleanings, extractions and fillings to individuals and families in need. The event runs from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon at Village Dental Olde Raleigh, 3101 Edwards Mill Rd., Suite 103, Raleigh, NC 27612, on a first-come, first-served basis. No appointment is necessary.

The event is designed for residents across Raleigh and the surrounding Triangle communities who may be underserved or postponing care due to cost. Village Dental's clinical team will volunteer their time and expertise to address urgent dental needs—helping relieve pain and restore oral health for patients in need who have gone too long without access to care.

"Smiles From the Heart is our way of saying: we see you, and we're here to help," said Maya Martin, DDS. "A single visit can change someone's comfort, confidence, and quality of life."

Village Dental is asking patients, neighbors, and community organizations to help spread the word. Residents are encouraged to share event details with anyone who may benefit—including coworkers, family members, and neighbors who may have been putting off dental care.

Attendees are encouraged to arrive early, as capacity is limited. Services are provided at no cost, regardless of insurance status.
