About the Project
“Return a Hero’s Smile” is the first project of the Dental Help UA Charitable Foundation.
Every day, together with volunteer clinics, we help Ukrainian soldiers restore their lost dental health free of charge.
War, unfortunately, takes away the health of our defenders. And we all know how costly, time-consuming, and complex recovery can be.
That’s why we have our own battle — a battle for health and quality of life.
We are professionals in implantology, and this is our front line — where we can make the greatest impact.
Project Mission
We want every Ukrainian defender to return to a full and healthy life as soon as possible. That’s why our Foundation strives to unite the dental community to help Ukrainian soldiers restore their dental health completely free of charge.
It’s important to us that our defenders don’t have to search endlessly or pay enormous sums to receive proper care. They must know: they protect us — and we protect them on the dental front.
Main Goals
Our Goals for the First 6 Months
- Restore dental health to 2,000+ defenders
- Build an accessible and simple volunteer network across Ukraine to ensure comfortable treatment for every hero.
- Unite the dental community — those who feel the call to serve “on their own front” — into one strong team.
Who Can Support Us
We are looking for donors and partners among international dental material manufacturers, global organizations, and other philanthropists.
Anyone can join our charitable initiative — including:
- dental clinics
- dentists of all specialties
- manufacturers of dental equipment and materials

Станом на травень 2025 року в черзі на безоплатну імплантацію 504 ветерани – працюємо над тим, аби скоріше скерувати їх на стоматологічну реабілітацію.
У зв’язку з цим фонд не приймає нові заявки. Ми обов’язково повідомимо, коли відновимо реєстрацію на безоплатну імплантацію.
Слідкуйте за оновленнями на сайті — ми повідомимо про відновлення роботи.
Дякуємо за розуміння 💙💛
