The Smile Mission was born from a simple belief: quality dental care should be accessible to everyone.
In the United States, millions of people struggle to access the dental care they need because of the high cost of treatment. After years of working overseas and volunteering in more than 30 countries, Dr. Pfundheller returned to America with a clear goal: to help address the dental care crisis at home.
In 2021, The Smile Mission opened its first location in South Miami, Florida, with a vision that was simple but ambitious — provide high-quality dental care at a price more people could afford.
From that first office, The Smile Mission began to grow. What started as a single location became a growing family of dental offices, all built around the same values: quality care, accessible pricing, modern dentistry, and treating every patient with compassion and respect.
We believe that affordability should never mean sacrificing quality. Our goal is to make exceptional dental care accessible to more individuals and families, regardless of their financial circumstances.
Today, we are continuing to grow with the same vision that started it all: to make high-quality dental care more affordable and accessible to everyone.
And we’re not stopping in South Florida.
Our long-term vision is to bring The Smile Mission to communities across the United States, making quality dental care accessible to more people, in more places, every day.
One location started the mission. Now, we’re building a movement.
