How We Give Back

The Sierra Crest Dental Team believes in supporting our community. We have done this in many ways both in our local community and internationally. We are grateful for all we have and share it whenever the opportunity arises.

In 2021, the Truckee Donner Land Trust partnered with Mountain Area Preservation, SOS Glenshire and the Martis Fund to protect 290 acres of open space in eastern Truckee called Canyon Springs.
