Envista recently introduced a non-profit oral health foundation known as the “Envista Smile Project."
By supporting increased access to oral care and oral health education, the non-profit foundation will improve the smiles and oral health of disadvantaged communities, according to a press release. The project's mission is to collaborate with dental professionals and Envista employee volunteers to donate products, treatment and oral health education to communities in need around the world.
Envista is a global family of more than 30 dental brands including KaVo Kerr, Nobel Biocare and Ormco.
"At Envista we pride ourselves on partnering with dental professionals and serving as a champion to these creators of confidence,” Envista Smile Project Board President and Envista Communication & Event Specialist Rubin Casas said, according to the release. “However, we realize that not everyone in the world has a champion. We know firsthand how devastating poor dental health can be, and the emotional toll can be even worse. That is why we created Envista Smile Project.”
