Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
