Syracuse VA Dental Clinic in Syracuse, New York

Explore the extensive dental care benefits available to qualifying Veterans through the VA. In Fiscal Year 2023, over 690,000 Veterans received dental care support. To determine your eligibility for VA dental care, refer to the “What VA dental care benefits do I qualify for?” guide and the Dental Benefits for Veterans document. If eligible but not yet enrolled in VA health care, apply online through the Apply for health care benefits webpage.

For those not meeting eligibility criteria, Veterans enrolled in VA health care can opt for dental insurance at a reduced cost through the VA Dental Insurance Program (VADIP). If you are a recently discharged Veteran (e.g., OEF/OIF/OND), you may be entitled to a one-time course of free dental care. However, it’s crucial to apply within 180 days of discharge (under conditions other than dishonorable) from a period of active duty lasting 90 days or more.
