ADSMs receive dental care from military dental treatment facilities (DTFs) and, if necessary, from civilian providers through the TRICARE Active Duty Dental Program (ADDP). For all other beneficiaries, TRICARE offers two dental programs—the TRICARE Dental Program (TDP) and the TRICARE Retiree Dental Program (TRDP). Each program is administered by a separate dental contractor and has its own monthly premiums and cost-shares.

The TDP is a voluntary dental insurance program administered by United Concordia, available to eligible ADFMs and National Guard and Reserve and Individual Ready Reserve members and their eligible family members. Active duty personnel (and National Guard and Reserve members called to active duty for a period of more than 30 consecutive days or eligible for the pre-activation benefit up to 90 days prior to their report date) are not eligible for the TDP. They receive dental care through the ADDP. For information about the TDP, visit the TDP web site or call United Concordia toll-free at 1-800-866-8499.

The TRDP is a voluntary dental insurance program administered by the Federal Services division of Delta Dental® of California (Delta Dental). The TRDP offers comprehensive, cost-effective dental coverage for uniformed services retirees and their eligible family members, retired National Guard and Reserve members (including those who are entitled to retired pay but will not begin receiving it until age 60) and their eligible family members, certain surviving family members of deceased active duty sponsors, and Medal of Honor recipients and their immediate family members and survivors. For information about the TRDP, visit the TRDP web site or call Delta Dental toll-free at 1-888-838-8737.
