He started the dental clinic in 2002. In 2004, thanks to a grant from Delta Dental, clients were able to receive complete and partial dentures. Dr. Ullman takes before and after photos of his patients and hangs them in the clinic’s hallway so that patients can see the difference a good smile makes. The dental hygienist and prosthodontic assistant from the dentist’s private practice also volunteer their time. He has been particularly attuned to the dental issues associated with homeless and addicted adults including poor oral hygiene, increased tooth decay, missing teeth and periodontal disease. With each new smile he provides, Dr. Ullman gives clients health, hope and dignity. He has recruited other dental specialists who provide emergency and long-term care. Over the past year, the clinic has handled 5,000 patient visits. He used the award money to purchase new cabinetry for the clinic, allowing him a clean and professional workspace to practice dentistry. He has also recruited several other dentists.
