Kendra’s New Smile


We recently finished a very special case for Kendra. She is a young mother who experienced homelessness and eventually became a volunteer for the local homeless population in Phoenix with the Aris Foundation. Coincidentally, the founder of Aris, Katherine and her mother, Vera, are both longtime patients of Scholes Periodontics and Implants. One evening, while volunteering, Janie Scholes served the Aris clients alongside Kendra. She was a giving and caring young woman who was making many positive changes in her life. Her goal was to get her children back home with her, and to keep a steady job. Janie invited her to come to our office to meet with Dr. Scholes to see if she was a candidate for our SAME DAY SMILE/Teeth In A Day procedure. In Kendra’s case, we had to get her gums and bone healthy enough for surgery. What unfolded was a combined effort of generous donations of time and materials. Throughout the following months, Kendra’s social worker kept us updated on her remarkable progress. Once Kendra met all of the requirements, we collaborated on her complete Smile Makeover with Nobel Biocare, Wiand Dental Laboratory, Chase Sossamon MSN, CRNA of Lifeguard Anesthesia, and Dr. Rob Walker of Chandler.

Here are some before, during and after photos of Kendra's All-On-Four process. This new smile has made all the difference in her life.

International Humanitarian Service in Bayaguana, Domicanan Republic


Dr. Scholes and the team joined together to visit Bayaguana, Dominican Republic with the nonprofit, Lift A Life, to provide dental care to their village. Dental hygienists, assistants, and Dr. Scholes treated hundreds of patients. Through generous donations from suppliers, patients, families, and friends, over 1600 oral hygiene kits were distributed. In many cases, the patients being seen in Bayaguana received their first toothbrush and professional teeth cleaning. Needless to say, many lives were lifted, including our very own team.
