How To Choose the Right Dentist for Your Family

What Medicaid and CHIP Dental Cover in Texas

How much is covered depends a lot on age:

  • Children and teens (under 21): Texas Medicaid and CHIP provide comprehensive dental coverage, including exams, cleanings, X-rays, fluoride, sealants, fillings, extractions, and medically necessary orthodontics.
  • Adults (21+): Texas Medicaid dental benefits are very limited and generally cover emergency care only. As a dentist that accepts Medicaid for adults, we can help with the covered services, such as extractions for pain or infection.

Texas administers children’s Medicaid and CHIP dental through managed-care plans like DentaQuest, MCNA Dental, and UnitedHealthcare Dental. Since coverage and networks differ by plan, we’ll always help you understand what’s included before any treatment begins.

Dental Services for Medicaid & CHIP Families

Whether it’s your child’s first checkup or care for the whole family, we offer:

We’ll always let you know which of these services your specific plan covers.

Frances Z. G.

Bay Colony Dentistry was super busy and I had to wait longer than expected for my cleaning. That being said it was a truly nice visit… as nice as a cleaning can be. I was attended to by Karen. She explained processes to me without being judgmental and she listened. Prior to this last visit, I was on the fence as to staying with this dentistry. I definitely will return for my regular maintenance after this.

I highly recommend this dentist’s office! The entire staff is so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely caring. If you’re someone who has anxiety or fear about going to the dentist, this is definitely the place for you. They take the time to listen to your concerns, make you feel comfortable, and help ease your fears every step of the way. What I appreciate most is that they truly care about their patients and never try to pressure you into treatments or procedures you don’t need. They are honest, professional, and make you feel like your well-being comes first. It’s such a relief to finally have a dental office where you feel comfortable, respected, and cared for. Highly recommend!
