What Dental Services Are Covered by Medicaid in Florida?

- X-rays — bitewing and panoramic X-rays as needed
- Fluoride treatments — preventive care to protect growing teeth
- Dental sealants — protective coatings on back molars
- Fillings — composite (tooth-colored) and amalgam fillings
- Extractions — when a tooth cannot be saved
- Emergency dental care — for pain, infection, or trauma
- Space maintainers — to hold space after early tooth loss

For Adults (Florida Medicaid)
- Emergency extractions — for pain or infection
- Dentures — full and partial dentures in certain cases

Frequently Asked Questions: Medicaid Dentist in Miami Gardens
Does Medicaid cover braces in Miami Gardens?
Medicaid may cover orthodontic treatment (braces) for children when it is deemed medically necessary — for example, when a severe bite problem affects eating, speaking, or oral health. Our orthodontic team can evaluate your child and determine if they qualify for Medicaid-covered orthodontics. For cases that don't qualify, we offer braces from $2,988.88 with no credit check financing.
Can adults use Medicaid for dental care in Florida?
Yes, but adult Medicaid dental coverage in Florida is more limited. It primarily covers emergency extractions, dentures, and limited restorative care. Our team will review your specific plan and help you maximize your benefits. For services not covered, our no-credit-check financing makes treatment affordable.
Do I need a referral to see a dentist with Medicaid?
In most cases, no referral is needed to see a dentist with Florida Medicaid. You can call us directly and schedule an appointment. We'll handle the rest.
What if my Medicaid doesn't cover a specific treatment?
If a treatment isn't covered by your Medicaid plan, we'll explain your options clearly. We offer transparent pricing and in-house financing with no credit check, so you can still get the care you need without financial stress.
