Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers!
Who is eligible for Medicaid dental coverage?

Is there an annual limit to Medicaid dental coverage in Texas?

Jefferson Dental’s team stays up to date on these evolving guidelines and helps you understand what your specific plan covers each year.

Adult Medicaid dental coverage typically focuses primarily on medically necessary services and not cosmetic enhancements. However, restorative treatments that improve both function and appearance are often covered.
