Volunteer Opportunities

Our local dental community plays a vital role in improving the health and well-being of those in need. Whether it’s restoring a veteran’s smile, helping someone on their recovery journey, or providing urgent dental care to uninsured patients, your skills can make a lasting difference.

Below are several ways you can share your time and expertise:

Lubbock Impact Dental Clinic

This extraction-only clinic serves adults (19+) who have no insurance, Medicaid, or Medicare dental supplement. Care is provided by appointment only.

  • Dentists and pre-dental students are welcome to volunteer

  • Make a difference by alleviating pain and improving oral health for underserved patients

Everyone for Veterans

Provide one-time, comprehensive dental care to veterans and their spouses who:

  • Have been honorably discharged

  • Have less than a 100% VA disability rating

  • Are in financial need

Your care can help veterans regain confidence and improve their quality of life.

Lubbock Drug Courts Dental Program

Support participants in the Lubbock Drug Court program as they work toward recovery and stability. Many have urgent dental needs but limited resources.

  • Initial screenings and some extractions are done at Lubbock Impact

  • When possible, saving teeth through restorative care, partials, or dentures makes a huge impact

  • Providers are never asked to perform procedures outside their comfort zone

  • We aim to create a rotation of volunteers to share the workload

  • The program is working to secure funds to help cover lab costs

Your expertise can change lives.
