Get 100% free dental care, with no insurance around Denver on September 1st

Aug 29, 2025, 3:26 PM

One of my favorite things about Labor Day in Denver is the love that a local dentist shows our community.

Risas Dental and Braces is once again giving back in a major way during its 14th annual Labor of Love event, offering completely free dental care – no insurance, no questions asked.

Labor of Love 2025 will be held on Monday, September 1 from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. at participating six Risas Dental locations around Denver (excluding Risas Kids Dental and Oral Surgery). The event is first come, first served and includes free cleanings, fillings, simple extractions, exams, and X-rays.

In 2024, the event treated over 300 patients in Denver alone, providing more than $80,000 in free care in just four hours. Across all cities, Labor of Love helped over 1,500 patients and awarded 25 free braces treatments, one at each participating location.

Since 2011, Risas Dental has contributed over $11 million in free care through Labor of Love, helping build healthier futures across the Southwest.
