Services Provided

We provide comprehensive dental care for eligible active duty personnel only.

Active duty personnel must receive a periodic dental examination to assess each member’s readiness status annually. Every effort will be made to have an exam and cleaning completed in the same day.

How to Make an Appointment

Appointments for periodic dental examinations will be scheduled by the Dental Clinic. Appointments cannot be scheduled or canceled on the MHS Genesis Patient Portal.  First Sergeants and/or Commanders may be notified of missed readiness appointments.Appointments for periodic dental examinations will be scheduled by the Dental Clinic.

Important Information

Urgent/Acute Care

We have same day urgent/acute appointments available Monday through Friday for eligible active duty personnel only.  Please call to schedule an appointment.  If you are experiencing severe pain after normal duty hours, please call the dental clinic and follow the prompts to be routed to the dentist on call.  Please leave a message with your phone number if you are routed to voicemail and someone will call you back.  If traveling away from your duty station and experience a dental emergency, please visit the Tricare dental website for information on obtaining care.  Anything you pay a civilian dental provider for services rendered may not be reimbursed.  Ensure care received outside of a military dental treatment facility is coordinated with Tricare.

Family members of active duty are eligible to enroll in TRICARE Dental Program. Visit their page www.tricare.mil/bwe to access the Beneficiary portal or call CONUS: 1-844-653-4061.    
Retirees and their family members are eligible for Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP). Visit their page www.tricare.mil/fedvip or call BENEFEDS at 1-877-888-FEDS (3337) for more information.

PCS / Retirements / Separations

Members will not be signed out until they are within five duty days of their final out day.
Please visit the dental clinic with a copy of your orders to complete your out-processing. Members can request one copy of their dental records prior to separation/retirement.

Reserve / Guard Members

Reserve and Guard members are eligible for readiness exams but must be on orders for 30 or greater days for routine care.

Dental Options Outside of Military Dental Clinics

Active duty service members get dental care at military dental clinics unless they are remotely located or experience an urgent issue while traveling. For dental care outside of a military dental clinic, TRICARE offers purchased dental insurance for family members. Additionally, retired service members, their families and certain survivors may qualify to purchase dental coverage through the Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program.
