Beautiful Faces is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing life-changing medical and dental care to underserved communities around the world. Founded after a transformative mission to a remote region near Santa Marta, Colombia, in May 2009, Beautiful Faces has since grown into a beacon of hope for children and families in need.
Our Mission
The inspiration for Beautiful Faces began with a dedicated team of doctors who performed cleft deformity surgeries on over 50 patients and provided dental care to hundreds more during the 2009 mission to Colombia. This effort delivered over $300,000 worth of services and highlighted the profound impact that committed medical professionals can make.
Today, our mission continues to focus on bringing essential medical and dental care to remote regions where children lack access to critical services. Our team of experts provides:
• Comprehensive medical and dental examinations
• Cleft lip and palate repair surgeries
• Basic dental treatments
Through these efforts, we restore smiles, instill hope, and create brighter futures for countless children and families.
Scope of Our Outreach
Our outreach program is designed to address the most pressing medical and dental needs in underserved communities. Specifically, we provide:
• Essential medical and dental examinations
• Surgical repairs for cleft lip and palate deformities
• Basic dental care
These missions require significant resources, which are supported through private donations. Funds are used for:
• Purchasing anesthesia monitors
• Procuring surgical and dental supplies
• Subsidizing the travel of students and nurses who join our missions
Our Goal
Our ultimate goal is to build a sustainable foundation of financial support, medical and dental equipment, and community resources. By creating long-term partnerships with local healthcare providers, we aim to ensure these communities can continue receiving care well into the future.
Our Solution
Beautiful Faces operates through two specialized teams to deliver high-quality care efficiently:
Surgical Teams
Our surgical teams are devoted to achieving exceptional outcomes, adhering to the highest standards of care practiced by U.S. surgeons. They perform transformative procedures, such as cleft lip and palate repairs, that restore function, confidence, and dignity to patients.
Dental Teams
Our dental teams emphasize preventive care while providing immediate relief for dental issues. They educate families on oral hygiene principles, empowering them to take control of their health, and deliver essential treatments to alleviate pain and suffering caused by dental disease.
Our Vision and Next Steps
We believe that everyone has an inherent right to self-esteem and respect. Tragically, many individuals with facial and dental deformities face stigma, discrimination, and diminished opportunities. At Beautiful Faces, we are committed to restoring dignity by:
• Repairing these deformities in a safe and efficient manner
• Educating communities about disease prevention and treatment
Our long-term vision is to foster partnerships with local communities, creating a framework for sustainable care that will improve lives for decades.
This fall, we plan to extend our mission locally by establishing a clinic that will provide essential medical and dental care. This initiative will include:
• Comprehensive examinations
• Cleft lip and palate surgeries
• Basic dental treatments
Funds for this project will be allocated toward purchasing equipment, surgical and dental supplies, and maintaining the clinic to uphold the highest standards of care.
At Beautiful Faces, we are changing lives one smile at a time—bringing hope, healing, and a brighter future to those who need it most. Join us in our mission to transform lives and make a lasting impact.
