Dr. Montano Brightens the World One Smile at a Time

Dr. Montano partnered with Ben Burris from Arkansas to create the Smile for a Lifetime Foundation. The foundation’s mission is to provide orthodontic treatment to well deserving patients who couldn’t otherwise afford it.

Committed to doing 24 cases next year alone, Dr. Montano said, “We’ve been fortunate. We’ve done well. I want to give back to the right kids, who, I hope, will give back to their community.”

Charitable work is nothing new to Dr. Montano. He has been involved with numerous causes ranging from cystic fibrosis, Couples Against Cancer, and CSUB wrestling to working with the Kern River Foundation to secure more than 900 acres of property.

“We see it (the good) when the braces come off,” said Montano, “People get teary-eyed when they see the change. A smile and confidence is the best gift you can give anybody.”
