Our Mission

More LA Smiles is a UCLA-led Dental Transformation Initiative that aims to improve oral health care for 500,000 Los Angeles County children with Medi-Cal dental coverage.

This transformative work is being accomplished through multiple strategies with support from a group of local and national subcontractors, including: Practice-level and system-level improvements, Professional education programs, information technology solutions, and innovative performance measurement.

We work directly with medical and dental professionals in a clinical setting, as well as outreach on the community-level to impart the importance of oral health to educators and at-risk children.

Dental Providers

Our unique programs offer dental providers the opportunity to participate in a quality improvement collaborative and professional educational programs at no cost. Obtain your continuing education credits while participating free of cost.
