ABOUT US
At Stevenson Dental Foundation (SDF), we are dedicated to transforming oral care and improving access to quality dental services.
We strive to bridge the gap in oral healthcare through community outreach, education, and research. Our mission is to make excellent, evidence-based dental care accessible
and affordable for everyone, regardless of socioeconomic status. To fulfill this mission, we provide free or low-cost dental services to underserved communities, offer scholarships for low-income students, and conduct research to help develop better resources and treatment options.

care to those in most need in our community at treatment facilities in San Dimas and Irvine, Southern California.
Led by entrepreneur and longtime charity advocate Joseph Lam, SDF is in the process of raising funds to build our first fixed clinic location, followed by our first mobile dentistry unit by the end of 2023. Alongside Mr. Lam, Dr. Stevenson leads our team of
researchers to find ways of providing care to the public with an emphasis on better
clinical practices and more impactful therapeutic interventions for oral diseases.
