At Canyon Vista Dental Care in Apache Junction, Dr. John Bigler is on a mission to give back to those who have given everything for our freedoms. In a heartfelt gesture of gratitude and compassion, he is offering a deserving veteran in need of dental work a completely free smile makeover.
This act of kindness is more than just dental care—it’s about restoring confidence, honoring sacrifice, and uplifting a community hero.
Giving Back to Those Who Gave Everything
“Our veterans have made sacrifices most of us can only imagine,” says Dr. Bigler. “They’ve protected our freedoms, often at great personal cost. Yet, too many of these heroes lack access to essential care. This is my small way of showing gratitude: restoring their confidence with a new smile.”
Finding support for specialized care, such as dental work, can be challenging for many veterans. Dr. Bigler recognizes this need and has committed to providing one veteran with the life-changing gift of a smile makeover.
A Community Effort to Honor a Hero
Dr. Bigler isn’t doing this alone—he’s calling on the community to help identify a veteran who would benefit most from this opportunity. He invites you to nominate someone special by submitting a private story or video sharing why this veteran deserves a new smile.
These submissions will remain confidential and will only be reviewed by Canyon Vista Dental Care staff. “We want to ensure privacy and respect for each nominee,” Dr. Bigler emphasizes.
By nominating a veteran, you become part of this incredible initiative, helping to shine a light on their bravery and ensuring they receive the recognition they so deeply deserve.
Why a Smile Makeover?
A smile is more than an aesthetic feature—it reflects confidence, health, and well-being. A smile makeover can be transformative for veterans, who have endured immense physical and emotional challenges.
Dental health can affect everything from self-esteem to overall quality of life. Missing, damaged, or discolored teeth can create barriers to employment, social connections, and basic comfort.
“Restoring a veteran’s smile isn’t just about teeth,” Dr. Bigler explains. “It’s about giving them the dignity and confidence to fully embrace life again.”
How You Can Help
Do you know a veteran who deserves this life-changing opportunity? Here’s how you can make a difference:
-
- Write or Record a Nomination: Share the story of a veteran who has inspired you. Why do they deserve this smile makeover?
- Submit Privately: Rest assured, your nomination will remain confidential viewed only by the caring team at Canyon Vista Dental Care.
- Spread the Word: Even if you don’t have a nomination, you can help by sharing this opportunity with others who might know a deserving veteran.
Building a Legacy of Veteran Support
This smile makeover is more than dental work; it’s about building a culture of compassion and veteran support. It’s a way to honor our heroes with the care and dignity they’ve earned.
“Let us honor the heroes among us,” Dr. Bigler says passionately. “Together, we can change a life, one smile at a time.”
Why Supporting Veterans Matters
Veterans have given so much for our country, yet many face significant challenges when returning to civilian life. From mental health struggles to physical injuries and financial difficulties, the hurdles can be overwhelming.
One area often overlooked is dental care. According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, many veterans do not qualify for dental benefits unless they have a service-connected dental disability. This leaves thousands without access to the care they need.
By providing a free smile makeover, Dr. Bigler hopes to shed light on the broader issue of veteran support and inspire others to step up for those who’ve served.
A Grateful Community
This initiative is a testament to the power of gratitude and the importance of community involvement. We can celebrate their courage, resilience, and contributions to our country by coming together to nominate a deserving veteran.
Dr. Bigler’s commitment to honoring veterans is a powerful reminder that small acts of kindness can create lasting impacts. A smile makeover might seem simple, but for the recipient, it represents hope, healing, and the knowledge that their sacrifices are recognized and appreciated.
