Find a TRICARE Dentist: 2026 Provider Search Guide | TRICARE.com

*TRICARE.com is an independent reference site and is not an official government agency. For official policy and enrollment, visit TRICARE.mil.*

## Quick answer To find a TRICARE dentist, you must first identify which dental plan you are enrolled in, as TRICARE dental and medical coverage are managed separately. Most beneficiaries find providers through the **United Concordia** network (for the TRICARE Dental Program) or the **Benefeds** portal (for the Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program).

Details

TRICARE does not have "one" dentist list. Because dental coverage is separate from your medical plan, your search depends on your status (Active Duty, Guard/Reserve, or Retiree).

### 1. Active Duty Service Members (ADSMs) Active duty members receive most care at military dental clinics. However, if you are referred to a civilian dentist or are in a remote location, you use the **Active Duty Dental Program (ADDP)** managed by United Concordia. * **Search Tool:** Visit the ADDP website at [addp-ucci.com](https://addp-ucci.com). * **Cost:** $0 out-of-pocket for covered services (2026 rates).

### 2. Family Members and Guard/Reserve (TRICARE Dental Program) Active duty family members, Transitional Survivors, and Selected Reserve/Individual Ready Reserve members are eligible for the **TRICARE Dental Program (TDP)**. This is a premium-based plan managed by United Concordia. * **Search Tool:** Use the "Find a Dentist" tool at [uccitdp.com](https://www.uccitdp.com). * **Network Advantage:** Using a "Network" dentist ensures you only pay the applicable cost-share (usually 20% to 50% depending on the service) and prevents "balance billing" where a dentist charges more than the TRICARE-allowed amount. * **2026 Monthly Premiums:** Vary by sponsor status (typically ranging from ~$12 for a single person to ~$32 for a family for active duty sponsors — check TRICARE.mil for finalized 2026 rates).

### 3. Retirees and their Families (FEDVIP) Since 2018, retirees and their families are no longer eligible for the TDP. Instead, they must enroll in the **Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP)**. * **Search Tool:** Visit [BENEFEDS.com](https://www.benefeds.com) to compare carriers like Delta Dental, MetLife, GEHA, and United Healthcare. * **Action:** You must use the specific provider search tool for the carrier you chose during Open Season.

### 4. Overseas Coverage If you are stationed or living overseas, dental care is managed by **International SOS**. In most overseas locations, you will seek care from a TRICARE Preferred Dentist. * **Search Tool:** Use the TOP (TRICARE Overseas Program) portal provided by International SOS.

## Who this affects * **Active Duty Service Members:** Use ADDP for civilian care. * **Active Duty Family Members (ADFM):** Use the TRICARE Dental Program (United Concordia). * **National Guard & Reserve:** Use the TRICARE Dental Program. * **Retirees & Families:** Use FEDVIP (multiple carriers). * **Survivors:** Eligible for TDP (Transitional) or FEDVIP (Retiree-level).
