Tricare offers 3 different dental programs that will cover all your dental needs.
- Tricare Active Duty Dental Program - The Tricare Active Duty Dental Program is available for either active duty members who are referred for care by a military dental treatment facility to the civilian dental community or have a duty location and residence more than 50 miles from a military dental treatment facility.
- Tricare Dental Program - The Tricare Dental Plan is a voluntary dental insurance program. The dental benefit is available to eligible active duty family members, eligible National Guard and Reserve members and their family members
- Retiree Dental - Although Tricare doesn't offer the retiree dental program anymore, retirees and their families can get dental insurance through the Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP) which is also known as BENEFEDS. This program offers military retirees dental and vision insurance. The program also covers all federal employees and retirees.
