On November 7, 2026, Aspen Dental will host its annual Day of Service to provide free dental care to military veterans across the United States. This program addresses urgent dental needs for those who served in any branch of the military.
Why it matters
Many veterans struggle to access necessary oral health services, making these community-focused dental events critical for addressing immediate health concerns. The program provides essential care for those who might otherwise go untreated.
Aspen Dental has provided care to more than 30,000 veterans since the program began in 2014. The initiative, which sees approximately 80 to 90 percent of scheduled patients show up for their appointments, will now include up to $1 million in specialized full-arch treatment.
The players
Aspen Dental
This nationwide network of dental practices manages the Day of Service initiative to support veterans.
ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers
This provider specializes in restorative dentistry and is donating high-value implant treatments to the veteran community.
The details
During the event, dental teams will conduct limited exams, X-rays, and basic procedures such as cleanings, fillings, extractions, and denture repairs. Participating ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers are also donating full-arch treatments, which typically carry a retail cost of $30,000 to $50,000, for referred veterans.
Timeline
The program began in 2014.
Scheduling for the event opened on September 29, 2026.
The Day of Service event is scheduled for November 7, 2026.
Market Landscape
This program aligns with the broader trend of corporate entities establishing dedicated service days to address social welfare gaps among veteran populations. It positions these dental networks as community-focused providers while addressing the high cost of specialized oral healthcare.
Veterans can expect standard care procedures to last approximately 30 minutes during the scheduled event. Those seeking specialized full-arch dental services may be referred through the program to receive donated procedures that would otherwise incur significant out-of-pocket costs.
The takeaway
Veterans interested in the program should verify their local branch participation as soon as possible due to the specific nature of these appointments. Early registration is recommended to ensure access to the donated cleanings and restorative treatments provided during the event.
