Local Dental provider gives back to underserved communities at its 13th Annual Labor of Love Event
Risas Dental and Braces gifted patients over $400,000 worth of free dental treatments during its 13th annual Labor of Love event held on Labor Day in the Denver area and cities across the Southwest. Since 2011, Risas’ signature event has contributed over $11 million in free dental care to underserved communities, helping close the healthcare gap.
On the morning of September 4, Risas’ dentists treated over 300 patients during its 2024 Labor of Love event at six offices in the Denver area. In just four hours, Risas gave away nearly $80,000 in free treatments to hundreds of patients looking to improve their oral health.
“Labor of Love allows us to show love to the communities we serve and help individuals take control of their health one step at a time,” says Jeff Adams, CEO of Risas Dental and Braces. “By doing so, we afford them the chance to preserve their health for longer and redirect focus to their families.”
New and current patients received basic dentistry treatments including cleanings, fillings, simple extractions, exams, and X-rays at participating Risas Dental locations. Risas’ dentists and their support teams performed a total of 350 procedures. In addition to the free dental provided on Labor Day, 25 patients were chosen to receive free braces, one at each participating location.
Each office saw an average of 60 to 75 patients for Labor of Love and treated over 1,500 patients, significantly impacting the community. Risas’ goal is to help prevent larger and more expensive health issues from arising later for patients by providing them with the necessary dental care they need.
