VETSmile Pilot Program ​

  • Launched in July 2021, VETSmile is designed to improve dental care access for Veterans enrolled in VHA health care who are not eligible for VA dental benefits. ​
  • VHA is committed to improving Veterans’ whole health, and research shows that good oral health affects overall well-being and quality of life. VETSmile supports this commitment by providing innovative pathways to address eligible Veterans’ care needs, starting with their smiles.
  • Explore the links on this page to learn how VETSmile collaborates with community partners to provide dental care to eligible Veterans.
