Virginia Medicaid Dental Coverage Explained
Virginia Medicaid dental coverage is administered through the Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS) and differs significantly between pediatric (children's) and adult coverage. Understanding what is covered helps you make the most of your benefits and avoid unexpected costs.
Children's Medicaid — Smiles for Children
Virginia's Smiles for Children program provides comprehensive dental coverage for children enrolled in FAMIS (Family Access to Medical Insurance Security) and Medicaid. Covered services typically include: comprehensive oral exams and recall exams, full-mouth X-rays and bite-wing X-rays, professional cleanings (prophylaxis), fluoride varnish applications, dental sealants on permanent molars, tooth-colored and amalgam fillings, stainless steel crowns, tooth extractions, space maintainers, and emergency dental treatment. Orthodontic treatment may be covered in cases of severe malocclusion or medically necessary correction.
Early dental visits are strongly encouraged. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a child's first dental appointment by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth erupting — and Smiles for Children covers that visit completely.
Adult Medicaid Dental Coverage
Adult Medicaid dental coverage in Virginia is more limited than pediatric coverage and has changed over the years. Currently, the covered adult dental services through DMAS include emergency extractions, medically necessary oral surgery, and certain emergency-basis restorative services. Routine cleanings, exams, and elective restorations may have limited or no coverage for adults depending on your specific Medicaid plan type and eligibility category.
We strongly encourage adult Medicaid patients to call our office before scheduling so we can verify your specific eligibility and coverage. Our front desk team will let you know exactly what is covered under your plan and discuss any out-of-pocket costs upfront. For uncovered services, we offer in-house payment plans and CareCredit financing.
Medicaid Managed Care Plans
Many Virginia Medicaid patients receive their benefits through a managed care organization (MCO) such as Aetna Better Health, Anthem HealthKeepers Plus, Molina Complete Care, or Virginia Premier. If you are enrolled in a Medicaid managed care plan, your dental benefits may be managed separately by the MCO's dental contractor. Please bring your MCO member ID card (not just your Medicaid card) when you call or come in, so we can verify your specific benefits accurately.
How to Schedule a Medicaid Appointment at Family First Smiles
Scheduling your Medicaid dental appointment is simple. Call our office at (703) 777-1515 Monday through Friday during business hours and let our front desk team know you have Virginia Medicaid. Have your Medicaid ID card or MCO member ID card ready. We will verify your eligibility on the spot and schedule your appointment — often within the same week.
If you are scheduling for your child, we will verify their Smiles for Children eligibility and let you know what to bring for the first visit. For new pediatric patients, we recommend scheduling around or before the first birthday for a "baby teeth checkup" — it is completely covered and sets the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
What to Bring to Your First Medicaid Appointment
Please bring your Virginia Medicaid ID card or MCO member card, a valid government-issued photo ID (for adult patients), a list of current medications, and completed new patient forms if you called ahead to have them emailed in advance. If you are bringing a child, a parent or legal guardian must be present to sign consent forms.
Patients Currently Applying for Medicaid

We will discuss all available options — including emergency care and our in-house payment plan — while your application is being processed. We will not make you wait for care if we can help it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Family First Smiles accept Virginia Medicaid for children?
Yes — we accept Smiles for Children (Virginia's pediatric Medicaid dental program) and FAMIS for patients of all ages, from infants through adolescents. We encourage parents to schedule their child's first dental visit by age one, as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry — a visit that is fully covered under Smiles for Children.
Does my Medicaid cover dental cleanings and X-rays?
For children enrolled in Smiles for Children, routine cleanings, exams, and X-rays are typically covered at 100%. For adult Medicaid patients, coverage varies by plan type. Call our office at (703) 777-1515 with your Medicaid ID and we will verify your specific benefits before your appointment.
How soon can I get an appointment as a Medicaid patient?
We maintain open appointment slots for new Medicaid patients and typically schedule within the same week for routine care. For dental emergencies, same-day appointments are available. Call (703) 777-1515 as early in the day as possible if you have an urgent need.
I have a Medicaid managed care plan (MCO). Does that change anything?
It may affect which dental services are covered and at what level, since some MCOs manage dental benefits separately. Please bring your MCO member card when you call — the plan name and member ID on that card allow us to verify your dental benefits specifically, rather than just your base Medicaid eligibility.
What if a service I need is not covered by Medicaid?
If you need a service that is not covered under your Medicaid plan, we will let you know upfront and explain your options — including our in-house payment plan, CareCredit financing, or adjusted self-pay pricing. We never proceed with non-covered treatment without your informed consent and a clear discussion of costs.
Before booking with Medicaid
Call with the name of your dental plan and ask the office to verify eligibility and benefits for the proposed visit. Acceptance of Medicaid does not mean every service is covered. Ask about any authorization and possible out-of-pocket costs before treatment.
Estimates, insurance and payment
Request an individual estimate after your evaluation. Ask what is included, which insurance benefits have been confirmed and what balance you would pay. Payment plans are available; ask the team about terms.
