VA offers comprehensive dental care benefits to certain qualifying Veterans. In addition, Veterans enrolled in VA health care may purchase dental insurance at a reduced cost through the VA Dental Insurance Program (VADIP). Beneficiaries of VA’s Civilian Health and Medical Program—a health insurance program for dependents of Veterans—are also eligible for VADIP.
Services offered through VADIP include diagnostic, preventive, surgical, emergency, and endodontic and restorative treatment. Veterans and other beneficiaries who choose to purchase VADIP pay a fixed monthly premium and any copayments required for coverage, depending on the type of plan selected.
