AAID Foundation Donation

The AAID Foundation was founded in 1982 with a mission to further the science of oral implantology through research and education, and to support the delivery of implant care through charitable efforts. The AAID Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity that awards grants each year to dental students and those in post-graduate and residency programs.

In 2019, the Foundation launched the Smile, Veteran!^TM Program to help those who have served our country with the opportunity to access and receive a dental implant services. The Foundation is supported by generous donations from AAID members and corporate sponsors.

                                                                  In 2023, the Foundation established the Robert J. Buhite Scholarship                                                                      for students in implantology/implant dentistry programs. The fund                                                                          was started with a generous donation by the Buhite-Dimino                                                                                      Foundation. Every gift towards this scholarship helps implantology                                                                          students to reach their goals.
