Veterans Assistance Grant Program

Carefully read the following information about the VAG program.

The School of Dental Medicine does not guarantee funding of treatment. Funding for a patient’s care is on a “first-come, first-served” basis and is subject to funding availability. You should not expect this to be comprehensive coverage for your dental needs. Funding will be capped at $2000 to enable more veterans to be served with our resources. We appreciate your understanding.

Not all procedures are covered by the program. While the VAG program covers about 90% of the treatments we provide, there are some procedures that are not covered by this program (this is not an exhaustive list): 

• 3D scanning,
• Fixed bridges,
• Immediate dentures*,
• Interim dentures,
• Implants/implant-related treatments,
• Occlusal guards, night guards, bite guards,
• Periodontal surgeries, and
• Teeth whitening.

This program does not provide any coverage in the Dental Faculty Practice. This funding is for the student clinics and, where approved, the resident clinics.

Note: You must notify the school immediately upon any change in financial status, enrollment in Medicaid dental coverage, or any other dental insurance policy (this includes any dental coverage attached to your Medicare benefits). If you fail to notify us of a change in status, you will be responsible for any charges incurred at the dental school following this change.
