Episode 203 of The Hitstreak, a podcast where we talk about anything and everything!  


This week we are joined by the Co-Founder of Smiles For Recovery, Justin Lowry!



Episode in a Glance:

This episode of The Hitstreak features Justin Lowry, co-founder of Smiles for Recovery, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing free dental care to individuals recovering from substance use disorders. Justin and I explore the profound impact of dental health on recovery, the importance of mental health, and personal stories of transformation. Justin shares insights into the organization's mission, the patient demographics they serve, and the training programs for young dentists. We emphasize the need for community support and the financial aspects of providing dental care, ultimately calling for action to help those in need.



Key Points:

- Smiles for Recovery provides free dental care to those in recovery.

- Dental health significantly impacts mental health and recovery outcomes.

- Personal stories highlight the transformative power of a smile.

- Training young dentists is crucial for the future of dental care in recovery.

- Mental health is a critical component of addiction recovery.

- Community support is essential for sustaining nonprofit efforts.

- Smiles for Recovery aims to reverse the stigma associated with addiction.



About our guest: 

Justin Lowry, a Nashville native and MTSU graduate, transformed his 25-year battle with addiction into a mission to help others. In 2023, he partnered with longtime friend Dr. Aaron Pryor to launch Smiles For Recovery, a program providing free dental implants to those in need while training young surgeons.


What started as a simple idea quickly grew into a movement. In January 2024, their team of doctors placed over 100 implants in a single day, giving patients life-changing smiles. Since December 2023, they have provided over $4.5 million in free dental care and placed more than 700 implants for individuals who could never afford such treatment.


On July 4, 2024, Smiles For Recovery became an official nonprofit with a dedicated Board of Directors. Justin and his team remain committed to restoring confidence and transforming lives—one smile at a time.
