US Department of Veterans Affairs Dental Clinic

The US Department of Veterans Affairs Dental Clinic provides general dental care to eligible veterans in the Medical Center area of northwest San Antonio from its facility at 8412 Datapoint Drive, San Antonio, TX 78229. Datapoint Drive in the 78229 zip code is located within the South Texas Veterans Health Care System (STVHCS) campus complex adjacent to the Audie L. Murphy VA Medical Center — the largest VA medical center in the South Texas region, serving veterans across a 42,000-square-mile catchment area.

VA dental care is available to veterans who meet specific eligibility criteria established by the Department of Veterans Affairs, including veterans rated at 100 percent service-connected disability, veterans who are former prisoners of war, veterans with a service-connected dental condition, veterans receiving VA care for certain medical conditions that affect dental health, and other eligibility categories. Veterans who do not qualify for VA dental care may be eligible for the VA Community Care program, which funds dental care with private providers.

The VA Dental Clinic provides the full range of general dental services available through the federal VA healthcare system, including diagnostic evaluation, professional cleanings, restorative care including fillings and crowns, extractions, and other dental treatments appropriate to each veteran's care plan. Services are delivered by VA-employed dental professionals at no cost or reduced cost to eligible veterans, as determined by their VA benefit tier.

Datapoint Drive at 8412 is within the STVHCS Medical Center campus accessible from Loop 410 and IH-10 West, with VA campus parking and van shuttle service from the main parking facilities.
