Hi, I'm Dr. Jamie,
Founder of TRULI Smile Design & Airway, a boutique dental studio in Sacramento, and a firm believer that confidence and generosity both begin with a smile.
Three years ago, an unmistakable pull toward aesthetic dentistry changed my trajectory. Since then I've invested thousands of dollars and endless days and weeks of hands-on training, logging hundreds of hours at the world-renowned Kois Center and becoming California's first accredited female provider of the Marshall Hanson Method (MHM) for composite veneers (zero shaving of your healthy teeth).
After nearly five years of practice in Canada and time spent building my craft here in California, I founded TRULI to bring this calling fully to life, a studio built around artistry, airway health, and treating every patient like family.
Why This Fundraiser?
As I step into this next chapter, I'm continuing The Giving Smile Initiative to gift a life-changing transformation to someone who's hidden their smile for far too long.
We all know the power of our smiles.
By partnering with the community, we're proving that uplifting one person can spark hope that ripples through families, workplaces, and entire communities.
Why I Need Your Help
- Advanced composite veneers demand:
- High-quality materials and specialized instruments
- Detailed digital design and lab preparation
- 12 to 14+ hours of dedicated chair-time
- The overhead that keeps a boutique studio running
I've already begun purchasing supplies out of pocket, and many MHM instruments can only be ordered in bulk. Your contribution completes the funding for this makeover and leaves enough of some materials for a few more cases. That means every dollar goes directly toward putting minimally invasive, confidence-building smiles within reach for more people here in Sacramento.
Where Your Donation Goes
Clinical Supplies: MHM composite kits, instruments, bonding agents, isolation systems
Digital and Lab Work: Digital scans, wax-up design, lab preparation
Follow-Up Care: Hygiene visits (up to 1 year), adjustment appointments, photo documentation
100% of every donation will land in a dedicated Giving Smile account and be spent only on documented patient-care expenses. If anything changes along the way, I'll share transparent updates so you can see exactly how your generosity is transforming lives.
*Tax note: Because this campaign is a personal charitable project and not run through a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, donations are considered personal gifts and are not tax-deductible. Thank you for your generous support!
How You Can Partner With Me
DONATE — Whatever amount feels right; every dollar brings us closer to Day 1 in the chair.
SHARE — Spread the word by texting or posting the link to friends, family, and coworkers, visibility multiplies impact.
NOMINATE — Know someone whose life will be transformed with a new radiant smile? Contact me via email.
PRAY — Ask that the right recipient is chosen, the procedure runs smoothly, and this project shines God's love into our community. Your prayers are powerful support!
If we exceed the amount needed for this makeover, every extra dollar will help the recipient thrive, through continued care or personal needs, and make more Giving Smile stories possible.
You're not just donating, you're becoming a partner in keeping this movement alive.
This is the beginning of The Giving Smile. TRULI will give 10% of profit from every cosmetic case to keep this initiative going, so this isn't a one-time gift, it's a standing commitment.
A Note From the Heart
I believe God planted this dream for a purpose far bigger than my own career. After experiencing my own smile transformation, I've learned that a confident smile is one of the simplest, yet most powerful, ways to create lasting impact. It frees us to live generously and lift everyone around us.
Your support isn't just funding dentistry, it's fueling a movement of confidence, compassion, and community.
Thank you for helping write the very first chapter of The Giving Smile.
Live generously, smile more.
:)
Yours TRULI,
Jamie Ko, DDS
