Dental & Philanthropic Community Involvement – Collinsville, VA
We Truly Care About the Community
Our dental office has been a part of Collinsville for decades, so needless to say, we really care about the place we call home! To show it, every year, we hold an event called Give Thanks for Smiles, where we provide a wide variety of dental services for a flat fee of $50. This money is then donated to local food banks to further serve those in need. We’re also partnered with Smiles for Schools, which is dedicated to providing children with basic services and education so the last thing they ever have to worry about during class is a toothache. Dr. Lavinder has also supported Donated Dental Services since 2000, a program that provides free dental care to the elderly, people with disabilities and those medically-compromised.
Collinsville Dental Associates - Give Thanks for Smiles Event
The Collinsville Dental Associates’ “Give Thanks for Smiles” benefit fundraiser took place on November 8, 2025. Dental services, such as fillings, extractions, and cleanings were provided for a fee of $50 for each procedure. Collinsville Dental Associates donates all materials and supplies needed for the procedures. All of the proceeds received are donated to The Warming Center of Martinsville & Henry County.
Collinsville Dental staff volunteers included 2 dentists, 3 hygienists, 2 dental assistants, and 1 office staff member. Overall, 18 patients were treated enabling a donation of $1,100 to The Warming Center. Dental services valued at over $3,500 were performed to help our community in coordination with this event.
The staff of Collinsville Dental Associates would like to express their appreciation to the patients who participated. We are also grateful to the staff members who generously volunteered their time to the event.
