Medicaid & CHIP
Quality dental care for every family.
Good dental care should not depend on what kind of coverage you have. Families with Texas Medicaid or CHIP get the same gentle care, the same dentist and the same attention as every other patient. We accept Medicaid and CHIP dental plans including DentaQuest and MCNA Dental.
Our front desk team will check your child's eligibility and benefits before the visit, so you know what is covered. If any treatment is not covered, we tell you first.
Children can start seeing the dentist as early as their first birthday. Regular checkups help catch cavities early, when they are easier to treat.
