Community Involvement by Your Newport News Dentist

At Caring Dental Arts Smile Design & Dental Wellness, caring for people extends far beyond our office walls. We believe every person deserves access to compassionate, high-quality dental care, and we're proud to support organizations that improve oral health and restore confidence for those facing difficult circumstances. Through volunteer service and community partnerships, we're committed to making a meaningful difference throughout Newport News and beyond.

Committed to Compassion Through Community Service

Community service is an important part of who we are at Caring Dental Arts Smile Design & Dental Wellness. Dr. Asya Marsh is passionate about using her skills to improve lives, both inside and outside the practice. In June 2026, she proudly volunteered with Mission of Mercy, joining fellow dental professionals to provide essential dental care for individuals who may otherwise have limited access to treatment. These events help relieve pain, restore oral health, and improve quality of life for members of the community.

Dr. Marsh also serves as a participating dentist with the Give Back a Smile Foundation through the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. Through this program, she provides restorative dental treatment at no cost to survivors of domestic abuse, helping individuals rebuild not only their smiles but also their confidence and sense of well-being. Supporting patients during their healing journey reflects the compassionate, patient-centered philosophy that guides every aspect of our practice.

Whether volunteering at community outreach events or donating professional services through national charitable programs, Caring Dental Arts remains dedicated to improving lives through service, kindness, and exceptional dental care. We are honored to give back to the communities we serve and will continue seeking opportunities to make a positive and lasting impact.

Supporting Operation Smile Through Community Partnerships

At Caring Dental Arts, we believe changing lives begins both inside and outside the dental office. We were honored to serve as a Featured Sponsor for a Hampton Roads Academy senior's inspiring fundraiser benefiting Operation Smile. Through a community cornhole tournament, the event raised funds toward a goal of $10,000—enough to provide approximately 42 life-changing surgeries for children and adults born with cleft lip and cleft palate.

Founded in nearby Virginia Beach, Operation Smile is an international nonprofit organization that brings together volunteer surgeons, dentists, nurses, and medical professionals from around the world to provide safe, free reconstructive surgeries and comprehensive care to patients in need. We are proud to support an organization whose mission transforms lives by restoring healthy smiles, confidence, and hope.

Proud Volunteer with the Give Back a Smile Program

Dr. Asya Marsh is proud to volunteer with the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry Charitable Foundation's (AACDCF) Give Back a Smile (GBAS) program, an initiative dedicated to helping survivors of domestic and sexual assault rebuild their smiles and regain their confidence.

Since its launch in 1999, Give Back a Smile has connected volunteer AACD member dentists across the country with women and men in need of restorative dental care. By donating her time and expertise, Dr. Marsh helps provide life-changing dental treatment at no cost, supporting survivors on their journey toward healing, renewed self-esteem, and a brighter future. Caring for patients with compassion, dignity, and respect remains at the heart of everything we do at Caring Dental Arts.
