Bright Smiles, Brighter Futures: Whitening That Changes Lives
Strickland Family Dentistry × Smiles for Life Foundation
At Strickland Family Dentistry, we believe every smile has the power to change the world. That’s why we’re proud to partner with the Smiles for Life Foundation, turning routine teeth whitening into life-changing opportunities—both here in Sarasota and across the globe.
Whiten Your Teeth, Light Up a Life
Each year during our Smiles for Life whitening campaign, 100% of the proceeds from every whitening treatment go directly to charity. Half of these funds benefit children and families worldwide through the Smiles for Life Foundation, while the other half supports local missions and outreach programs chosen by our team.
It’s more than a cosmetic treatment—it’s a chance to give the gift of health, dignity, and hope.
From Sarasota to the World: Mission Trips That Matter
The generosity of our patients fuels our passion for serving others—whether it’s at local events like Day4Hope or on international mission trips to underserved communities. Since 2007, the Smiles for Life Foundation has led over 50 humanitarian expeditions to the Dominican Republic and Guatemala, bringing much-needed dental care to the poorest of the poor.
These trips, often lasting 7–10 days in March, September, and November, are about far more than dentistry. They are about restoring confidence, fostering human connection, and showing kindness without borders. Every toothbrush given, every cavity filled, and every smile restored reminds us why we do what we do.
