Bringing one life-changing smile to life—with artistry, care, and community.
Hi, I’m Dr. Jamie
Restorative dentist and smile designer at Smile & Co. and a firm believer that confidence and generosity both begin with a smile.
Two years ago, an unmistakable pull toward aesthetic dentistry changed my trajectory. Since then I’ve invested thousands of dollars and endless days & weeks of hands-on training—logging hundreds of hours at the world-renowned Kois Center and mastering the Marshall Hanson Method (MHM) for non-invasive composite veneers.
After nearly five years of practice in Canada, I moved to Folsom, California just four months ago to join the amazing team at Smile & Company. Dr. Ashley Joves opened both her doors and her heart so I could turn this passion into real-world impact, and I’m forever grateful.
Why This Fundraiser?
As I fully step into my calling as a functional smile designer, I’m launching The Giving Smile to gift a life-changing transformation to someone who’s hidden their smile for far too long.
This isn’t just about teeth—it’s about restoring confidence, dignity, and joy. 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 & specialized instruments
- Detailed digital design and lab preparation
- 12–14 + hours of dedicated chair-time
- The everyday overhead that keeps a locally owned practice 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 Folsom.
Where Your Donation Goes
1) Clinical Supplies: MHM composite kits, instruments, bonding agents, isolation systems
2) Digital & Lab Work: Digital scans, wax-up design, lab preparation
3) 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.
Smile & Co. is matching your generosity dollar-for-dollar.
Our normal fee for a case like this is about $20,000. The practice is covering half of that value—waiving chair time, assistant support, and overhead—so every dollar you give is doubled and goes straight to the materials and teamwork that bring the smile to life.
*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? Nominate HERE today!
- 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 $10,000 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.
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.
:)
With gratitude and excitement,
Jamie Ko, DDS
