Blessing

Our way to share love

Our monthly project offering free or discounted smile restorations to those in need on the Gold Coast.

Because everyone deserves the chance to smile with confidence.

At ArtSmiles, we know that financial hardship can stand between a person and the care they need. But we also believe that compassion should never have a price tag.

That’s why we created the Blessing Project—a monthly initiative where we offer heavily discounted dental treatment to individuals who genuinely need help but can’t afford it.

Each month, we select:

  • 1 patient to receive full treatment at no cost or heavily discounted treatment

  • 2 patients to receive treatment at a significantly reduced fee (just enough to cover materials and operational costs)

This program is our way of giving back to the community—and helping people reclaim their health, confidence, and joy.

 

Who can apply?

The Blessing Project is dedicated to helping people in genuine need—especially those facing difficult life circumstances.

You may be eligible if you are:

  • A survivor of domestic violence

  • In recovery from addiction

  • Experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity

  • Living with a disability or chronic illness

  • A single parent in financial hardship

  • Recently released from incarceration and rebuilding your life

  • Facing other serious social, emotional, or financial challenges

Each case is reviewed with compassion and care. If your story reflects hardship and a true need for support, we encourage you to apply.

 

How to apply

Simply fill out the application form below and share a bit of your story. We review every application with care and heart.

Even if you’re not selected this month, you may be considered for future rounds.

 

Please Note: Application ≠ Automatic Approval

Submitting an application to the Blessing Project does not guarantee treatment.

Each month, we receive many heartfelt stories—and while we wish we could help everyone, we are only able to support a limited number of patients through this program.

All eligible applicants become part of the Blessing Program pool, where we carefully review each case through a multi-stage selection process. This includes:

  • Reviewing the applicant’s background and current circumstances

  • Assessing the urgency and impact of the proposed treatment

  • Evaluating supporting information, such as photos and documents

Final decisions are made with the help of our team, and in some cases, the community may be invited to participate through voting or sharing.

Even if you’re not selected immediately, your application stays active for future consideration.

🙏 We see you. We value your story. And we thank you for trusting us.

Owen’s Redemption: From Pain to Confidence

“After years of neglect and substance abuse, my teeth were in a terrible state. I had advanced periodontitis—every morning I’d wake up to bleeding gums and deep shame. I avoided people. I felt broken.

Then I met Dr. Cristian through my church. He treated me with respect and gave me a second chance—with periodontal surgery and care that changed my life.

Today, I’m healthy, confident, and full of hope again.

He’s a game changer.”
