HONORING THOSE WHO SERVED
We are honored to provide advanced dental implant care to the men and women who have served our country.

Missing teeth, dentures, and failing teeth don't have to limit your quality of life
Many veterans live every day with:
- Missing teeth
- Loose or uncomfortable dentures
- Partial dentures
- Teeth that are failing, breaking, or causing pain
For years, removable dentures or partials were often the primary solution for extensive tooth loss. Today, dental implants can provide a more secure, comfortable and long-term option for many patients.
DENTAL IMPLANTS MAY HELP RESTORE
- Confidence
- Comfort
- Ability to eat favorite food
- Quality of life
- Freedom from loose dentures and partials
Not every patient is a candidate for dental implants. A consultation is required to determine treatment options.

Frequently Asked Questions
Am I eligible for VA dental benefits?
Eligibility for VA dental benefits is determined by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and varies by individual veteran. Not all veterans qualify for dental coverage.
If you are unsure about your eligibility, contact your VA dental provider or Community Care representative.
Does the VA cover dental implants?
Coverage is determined by the VA and depends on your individual eligibility and authorization.
Dental implant treatment through Community Care is generally reserved for veterans who qualify for comprehensive dental benefits and receive approval from the VA.
Our team is happy to answer questions about the referral process, but the VA ultimately determines coverage and authorization
Do I need 100% VA dental coverage?
For most full-arch dental implant cases referred through Community Care, veterans must have comprehensive VA dental benefits and receive authorization from the VA before treatment can begin.
Coverage decisions are made solely by the VA and may vary based on individual circumstances.
Can I request Transcend Dental as my provider?
Many veterans can request a specific Community Care provider. Ask your VA dental provider or Community Care coordinator to assist you, and you can also follow the instructions above to locate our providers in the VA Community Care directory.
I already wear dentures. Do I have other options?
Many veterans are surprised to learn that dental implants may provide an alternative to traditional removable dentures.
Depending on your situation, implants may help create a more stable, comfortable, and long-term solution.
A consultation can help determine whether implant treatment is right for you.
I wear a partial. Can implants help?
In many cases, dental implants can replace missing teeth and reduce or eliminate the need for a removable partial denture.
Treatment recommendations vary by patient and require a consultation and evaluation.
What if my teeth are failing but have not been removed?
Many implant patients still have natural teeth when they first visit our office.
If teeth are failing, breaking down, causing pain, or have a poor long-term prognosis, dental implants may be an option. Our doctors will evaluate your condition and discuss available treatment options, which includes extractions.
What if I have been told I am not a candidate for dental implants?
Many patients come to us after being told they do not have enough bone for dental implants or that dentures are their only option.
While every case is different, our implant-focused team routinely evaluates complex cases and often finds solutions for patients who thought they had run out of options.
The best way to know what is possible is through a consultation and 3D CBCT scan with our doctors.

What if I have questions about the VA process. Can Transcend help?
Absolutely.
While we cannot determine eligibility or approve benefits, our team is happy to answer questions about requesting Transcend Dental, understanding the referral process, and what to expect after authorization is received.
Why would I choose an implant-focused practice?
At Transcend Dental, dental implants aren’t just one of the things we do…it’s all we do.
Our practice is designed around helping patients with missing teeth, failing teeth, dentures, and partials find long-term implant solutions. We utilize advanced technology, 3D imaging, IV sedation, and an in-house lab to provide comprehensive implant care under one roof.
Many patients choose implants because they want a solution that feels secure, functions naturally, and reduces the day-to-day frustrations often associated with removable dentures and partials. No adhesives or slipping. No removing your teeth at night. Just routine care and maintenance designed to support your smile for the long term.
