Thank you to Delta Dental for supporting the Ponce De Leon Center

We're grateful to the Delta Dental Community Care Foundation for a generous $90,000 grant supporting the dental clinic at the Ponce De Leon Center. This funding will help cover lab costs for dental prosthetics like partial and complete dentures and bridgework, restoring patients' ability to chew comfortably and smile with confidence.

Delta Dental is committed to fostering collaboration that strengthens communities and broadens access to vital health care. In announcing the award, the Delta Dental cited the Ponce Center's commitment to delivering high-quality, affordable oral health services as a key source of inspiration.

Individuals living with HIV/AIDS face a heightened risk of infections, including those affecting the teeth and gums, which can take a toll on their overall well-being. Given this increased vulnerability to oral infection and tooth loss, the Ponce Center provides full-spectrum dental care, from removable to fixed prosthodontic solutions. Beyond restoring the ability to eat well, these treatments offer real emotional benefits, helping patients feel more confident and improving their overall quality of life.
