TRICARE Dental Phone Number: The 2026 Contact Directory for TDP, Active Duty & FEDVIP Retiree Dental

There is no single TRICARE dental phone number. TRICARE runs three separate dental programs, each with its own administrator, phone lines, website, and login: the TRICARE Dental Program (TDP) for family members and Guard/Reserve, the Active Duty Dental Program (ADDP) for service members, and FEDVIP for retirees. United Concordia administers the first two; BENEFEDS administers FEDVIP enrollment. This directory pulls the verified contact details for all three into one place, organized by program and by department, so a front desk, a billing coordinator, or a beneficiary can find the correct line in seconds. Every number and link below was taken from an official TRICARE, United Concordia, or BENEFEDS source.

What's in This Directory

The Three TRICARE Dental Programs at a Glance

TRICARE dental is not one benefit. It is three programs with three administrators, sorted by who you are: an active duty service member, a family member or Guard/Reserve member, or a retiree. The table below is the fastest way to land on the right phone number and website before you dial.

Which TRICARE Dental Program Is Yours?

The quickest way to reach the right office is to identify your program first, because the administrator and the phone line follow from it. Three questions get you there.

TRICARE Dental Program (TDP) Numbers & Logins

The TDP is the voluntary, premium-based plan administered by United Concordia for active duty family members, National Guard and Reserve members and their families, and certain survivors. It offers worldwide portable coverage with CONUS and OCONUS service areas. Members and dentists use the same United Concordia program lines, and the Find a Dentist tool at uccitdp.com locates network dentists.

Active Duty Dental Program (ADDP) Numbers & Logins

The ADDP is a Department of Defense program, also administered by United Concordia, that provides civilian dental care for active duty service members who are referred out or stationed far from a military dental clinic. There are no premiums and no out-of-pocket cost for covered care with the proper authorizations. Service members must get an Appointment Control Number (ACN) before nonemergency care, and in CONUS must use a United Concordia network dentist.

FEDVIP Retiree Dental: BENEFEDS & the Carrier Directory

The TRICARE Retiree Dental Program (TRDP) ended on December 31, 2018. Since then, retired service members, their families, and survivors get dental coverage through the Federal Employees Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP), run by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management. You do not call "TRICARE" for retiree dental. You enroll through BENEFEDS, the OPM-authorized enrollment portal, then work directly with the dental carrier you choose for benefits, claims, and provider networks.

BENEFEDS customer service is available Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. ET. Its representatives handle enrollment, but they cannot recommend a plan or discuss benefits, so direct benefit and provider questions to the carrier itself.

FEDVIP dental carriers for 2026

FEDVIP offers eleven dental carriers for 2026 (HealthPartners Dental was dropped, so anyone enrolled in it for 2025 must make a new election). Seven serve nationwide and four are regional. Call the carrier's member line below for benefits, provider networks, and claims, or verify current options at BENEFEDS.gov.

By Department: Enrollment, Claims & Eligibility

Across all three programs, three jobs come up again and again: enrolling or changing coverage, filing a claim, and confirming eligibility in DEERS. The table shows where each one goes. For FEDVIP, claims and enrollment changes after your initial election go to the carrier you picked, not to BENEFEDS.

Where Documentation Fits In

For a sedation or oral surgery practice treating military families, every one of these calls (eligibility, authorizations, claims, appeals) rides on documentation. United Concordia and the FEDVIP carriers deny or claw back payment when records are incomplete, and an ADDP authorization or a TDP claim for a sedation case is only as strong as the chart behind it. That is the gap iSedate's SedationVault was built to close.

SedationVault replaces paper sedation records with real-time oral and IV sedation charting, live vitals streamed from any monitor on the market, digital intake and consent, and one-click, audit-ready PDF reports. When a payer or a board asks for the record, the documentation is complete, time-stamped, and defensible, which protects both reimbursement and the practice itself. Clean charting and clean compliance are what stand between a routine claim and a costly dispute.
