Glisten Dental is proud to care for the military families who call Glendale home. With Luke Air Force Base just west of us, many of our patients are spouses and kids covered by TRICARE dental. We know how military dental coverage works, we verify your benefits before treatment, and we file claims so you can focus on your family instead of paperwork.
TRICARE dental is separate from TRICARE medical
This is the part that confuses most military families. Your TRICARE medical plan does not include routine dental care. Active duty members typically receive dental through the base, while family members and many Guard and Reserve families use the TRICARE Dental Program, a separate enrollment that works like a traditional dental plan at civilian offices.
Not sure which situation applies to you? Read our full TRICARE guide for a deeper walkthrough, or call us with your sponsor information and plan card. We verify your dental coverage before your visit and explain your costs in writing.
Dental care built around military life
Military schedules are unpredictable. PCS moves, deployments, and shifting hours make it hard to keep up with dental visits, so we keep scheduling flexible and communication simple. Our family dentistry approach lets spouses and kids be seen in one office near Bell Road, often with back-to-back appointments.
Most families start with cleanings and exams, and our children’s dentistry keeps kids comfortable from their very first visit. New to the area after a PCS? Bring any recent dental records you have, and we will pick up your care right where your last office left off. When something urgent happens, like a broken tooth in the middle of a deployment, our same-day emergency appointments help you get in fast.
