Highlights include:

  • Puente is partnering with Sonrisas Dental Heath to build this mobile dental service solution.
  • 400 current users of this program with a projected increase of 5x with this new Dental RV solution.
  • Puente is seeking roughly $500k funding to start, but will require additional long-term funding to continue to provide this service.
  • Timeline = sometime in 2026 if funding is secured.
