These are the types of stories I love to talk about.

Hill & Ioppolo Oral and Facial Surgeons of Lubbock have announced that local veteran Gregory Arriaga is part of the Smiles for Soldiers program.

Gregory will receive a full-arch restoration treatment that normally costs $50,000.

From Hill & Ioppolo:

I’m excited to watch Gregory transform throughout this process. After serving time in the military myself, I understand the toll it takes on a person emotionally and physically. I am honored to give this war hero a new, healthy smile.

The practice will update everyone on Gregory's progress on the Facebook page.

Thanks Gregory for your service to our country!
