Introducing SECOND SMILE TASMANIA
Today I’m launching a project that has been on my mind for some time.
Addiction can take almost everything from a person. And even after someone has overcome addiction and begun rebuilding their life, one very visible reminder can remain — their smile.
Second Smile Tasmania aims to change that.
The goal is to provide comprehensive dental rehabilitation, including full-arch implant treatment (All-on-X) where appropriate, completely free of charge to carefully selected Tasmanians who have overcome drug or alcohol addiction and are rebuilding their lives.
I will donate my surgical expertise, clinical time and treatment. I’m now seeking dental implant companies, laboratories, suppliers and other businesses willing to support the project by donating implants, components, laboratory work, materials or funding.
I also hope to partner with established addiction recovery organisations to help identify people for whom this opportunity could genuinely change their lives.
This isn’t simply about giving someone new teeth.
It’s about restoring confidence, dignity and opportunity — and removing one of the last visible reminders of a life they have worked incredibly hard to leave behind.
We’ll begin with a small number of patients here in Northwest Tasmania, with the ambition of eventually taking the concept much further.
You’ve rebuilt your life. Now let’s give you back your smile.
If you or your organisation would like to support Second Smile Tasmania, please get in touch.
