Philanthropy

Our oral surgeons and team love the community in which we live, and we love serving our friends and neighbors in any way we can. Oral Surgery Partners is involved in a number of programs and events in our community. Explore the page below to learn about our community involvement in Redondo Beach, Los Angeles and Westchester, California.

Give Kids a Smile

Oral Surgery Partners is proud to support Give Kids a Smile, the nation’s largest proactive approach to serving the dental needs of children from low income families who do not have access to care. Give Kids a Smile is supported by the California Dental Association, and is an annual centerpiece to National Children’s Dental Health Month in February.

In addition to providing necessary treatment for under-served children in the community through Give Kids a Smile for the past several years, our surgeons have also recruited volunteer dentists, secured supplies, and obtained funding

Oral Surgery Partners joins forces with Everyone for Veterans

Dr. Trent Westernoff and Dr. Martin Mardirosian are proud to support local veterans by participating in the Everyone for Veterans. This valuable program pairs local, under-served veterans to participants in order to receive needed services and support.

Crowns for Kids Program

The Community Outreach Committee at West Los Angeles Dental Society has been working hard to help the South Bay Children’s Health Center provide dental care to dentally underserved children in our community. The Crowns for Kids Program, which was spearheaded by Dr. Westernoff, had a very successful first year. Any oral surgeon can collect crowns from their patients. It is easy to ask, and patients feel like they are giving back, as well. You would be amazed how many people donate.

CDA Cares

Oral Surgery Partners also gives back to the community by participating in CDA Cares. An estimated 10 million Californians experience barriers to dental care. The California Dental Association Foundation and CDA host CDA Cares, a program that allows volunteer dentists, with the assistance of other dental professionals and community volunteers, to provide dental services at no charge to more than 2,000 patients at each event.

Remote Area Medical (RAM)

Founded in 1985 by Stan Brock, this Tennessee-based, non-profit organization initially provided remote medical services developed in the Amazon rainforest for the Wapishana Indians. Since then he has expanded his services to remote and underserved areas throughout the world.

RAM sponsored two Los Angeles events in August 2009 and April 2010. Approximately 700 volunteers donated their time and talents to thousands of needy Southern California residents. Each event spanned approximately seven days and provided free medical, dental and vision care to approximately 8,000 uninsured or under-insured patients.

Oral Surgery Partners has supported these charitable events by treating patients for their oral surgical needs.
