Dental

Provides preventive, general dentistry and selected dental specialty services.

Appointments

Appointments for actual dental procedures are predicated on having a valid, current annual dental examination. If a patient’s dental record is already on file at our clinic, patients should call during normal working hours to schedule a one-stop dental cleaning/examination appointment. Efforts will be made to combine these services whenever possible. If a patient does not already have a dental record kept on file in our clinic, an appointment can be made for a dental examination only by calling during normal clinic working hours.

Availability of Services

Open to active duty service members and family members of active duty personnel assigned to the Naples, Italy area. Retirees and other beneficiary types may be seen on a space available basis for emergencies only.

Emergency Care

If you have an after hours dental emergency, contact the Emergency Department, and they will notify the dental duty section if necessary. Emergency care is available to active duty, retirees, DoD civilians, GS employees, and their family members. Emergency dental care is defined as treatment to relieve acute pain, treatment of infection, or trauma. Patients with a dental problem and not in distress (for example, a chipped tooth without pain) should report to sick call and may be appointed after receiving an exam by the dental provider.
