Giving back to the community

Our charity work β€” because everyone deserves
a healthy smile

Dr. Sadineni and the Dublin Metro Dental team believe that access to dental care is a matter of dignity, not just health.
Through three national charitable programmes β€” and year-round community involvement β€” who would otherwise go without care.

we are committed to serving patients

Dr. Aparna Sadineni

Founder Β· Dublin Metro Dental
"Dentistry changed my life β€” and I know it can change others'. Pain from an untreated tooth affects how children learn, how adults work, and how people feel about themselves every single day. These programmes are our way of using the skills we have to make a real difference in people's lives, right here in our community."

Dr. Aparna Sadineni

American Dental Association Foundation

Give Kids A Smile

Free dental care for underserved children across America
Give Kids A Smile is a national programme established by the ADA Foundation that provides free dental care to children from low-income families who lack access to regular dental services. Each February, thousands of dental practices across the United States open their doors to provide free screenings, cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants, and basic restorative care to children who may not otherwise receive any dental care at all.

Dublin Metro Dental participates every year. On our Give Kids A Smile day, Dr. Sadineni and the entire team volunteer their time, skills, and materials to provide as much care as possible to children in the greater Dublin and central Ohio area. For many of these children, it is their first dental visit β€” which is why we approach the day with particular warmth and patience, ensuring every child leaves with a positive experience.

American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry Charitable Foundation

Give Back A Smile

Restoring smiles for survivors of domestic violence and abuse
Give Back A Smile is one of the most meaningful programmes Dublin Metro Dental participates in. Run by the AACD Charitable Foundation, it connects survivors of domestic violence and abuse β€” who often have oral injuries and dental damage as a direct result of the violence they experienced β€” with volunteer cosmetic dentists who restore their smiles free of charge.

For many survivors, a damaged smile is a daily, visible reminder of trauma. It affects confidence, employment, social engagement, and the ability to move forward. Restoring it is not cosmetic in the superficial sense β€” it is profoundly restorative in the deepest sense of the word. Dr. Sadineni, as an AACD-accredited dentist, is uniquely qualified to provide the complex aesthetic and restorative work these cases often require.

Dentistry From The Heart Foundation

Dentistry From The Heart

Free dental care for adults in need β€” one day, unlimited care
Dentistry From The Heart is a national nonprofit organisation that coordinates free dental care events across the United States. On designated event days, participating dental practices open their doors to adults from the community β€” regardless of income, insurance status, or reason β€” and provide free extractions, fillings, and cleanings on a first-come, first-served basis. No paperwork, no insurance required, no questions asked.

Dublin Metro Dental hosts or participates in a Dentistry From The Heart event annually. These days are some of the most rewarding of the year for our entire team. Patients sometimes queue for hours β€” and many have been living with dental pain for months or years, unable to afford care. The relief on a patient's face after treatment is unlike anything else in dentistry.

Why this matters to us- they're an expression of what the Dublin Metro Dental team believes about our role in this community.

The values behind our community commitment

Dental care is a human need

Oral pain is not a luxury problem β€” it affects eating, sleeping, working, and mental health.

Children shouldn't start behind

Dental disease is the most common chronic childhood condition in the US.

Community is where we live and work

Dr. Sadineni and our team are part of the Dublin community β€” not just a business in it.

A smile can change everything

For a survivor of abuse, a child with their first pain-free visit, or an adult who hasn't smiled in years
