DENTAL PROGRAM
Our dental program is dedicated to providing essential care to eligible veterans who do not receive services through the VA.
We offer both preventive and corrective treatments to restore confident smiles and healthy oral function. Our mission is to make a meaningful difference in each veteran’s life by improving oral health and overall well-being.
All veterans should have dental resources available to help maintain health, build confidence, and have an increased chance of meaningful career placement. These factors are a vital component to the successful transition of our veterans into civilian life. We identify qualified local dental providers who will donate their time (and/or offer a reduced rate of their services) to veterans in need.

Why Many Veterans Don’t Receive Dental Care
Veterans must be 100% disabled or have a service-connected dental injury to qualify for dental services through the VA.
Florida has the third-largest veteran population in the U.S. but offers no state-sponsored dental resources for veterans.
92% of veterans enrolled in the VA healthcare system are not eligible for VA dental care.
Dental care is essential to overall health — it helps reduce emergency room visits.
Access to dental care can reduce the risk of heart attacks by up to 35%.
Dental health promotes confidence, which is critical to a veteran’s career success and overall quality of life.
