Dental Clinic Eligibility and benefits for Veteran Dental Care are limited by law and categorized into VA dental classifications or classes. If you just got out of the service, you may be entitled to a one-time course of dental care. You must apply for dental care within 180 days of your discharge (under conditions other than dishonorable) from a period of active duty of 90 days or more.

To learn if you are eligible for VA Dental Care, read the Dental Benefits for Veterans document. If eligible, you can apply online for health care via the 1010ez, the fastest and easiest way to apply for VA Dental Care!
