Dental Care from the VA
Although the VA provides dental care primarily for 100% disabled veterans or those with dental issues directly resulting from military trauma, there are still resources available for others. Moreover, this situation might be improving. For more details on VA’s dental care offerings, visit VA Dental Care.
Additionally, explore the resources listed below for various dental care options, including some that are free or available at a low cost to Veterans:
- Search for “Dental” on FindHelp.org to discover free or affordable services in your vicinity.
- Connect with an accredited dental practitioner through the American Dental Association.
- Another valuable resource is EveryDentist.com.

Clicking here will bring you to a database of other VA services you can locate by zip code.
Please also check out our page on Filing Claims. We recommend that you do NOT file claims on your own. If you do not file exactly the way the VA looks for information, it can take literally years for your claim to go back and forth before approval or denial.
The other resources listed, such as your local Veterans Service Office (names vary by county), VSO counselor, VFW, etc., will help you determine what you are eligible for and file correctly for results in as little as a few weeks.
