Dental Care

Maintain dental readiness of supported units. 
Provide high quality care for all beneficiaries.

To be the most outstanding dental clinic in the US Army by providing high quality, timely dental treatment.

We are an eight-chair dental clinic located inside the Fox Army Health Center, Building 4100 Goss Road on Redstone Arsenal. We are primarily an appointment driven active duty clinic open to our active duty patients within the surrounding 50 miles. We provide various dental treatments, including examinations, fillings, cleanings, oral surgery, endodontics (root canals), and prosthodontics (crown and bridge). Our continued focus is to prepare our Soldiers for worldwide deployment.

We see service members in Active Duty status on sick call for a variety of symptoms, including but not limited to: toothache, broken or chipped tooth, lost filling, sensitivity, and jaw (TMJ) pain. Please call for an appointment at 256-876-5200. We will try our best to accommodate “walk-ins” that are experiencing dental pain or discomfort.

After hours emergency care is NOT available at the Redstone Arsenal Dental Clinic. Be advised that TRICARE Dental Remote will NOT reimburse you for dental care provided by civilian dentists unless it is pre-authorized. Problems such as chipped teeth and fillings are not considered dental emergencies. These should wait until the next duty day. You may call the Nurse Advice Line 24/7 at 1-800-TRICARE, option 1 for any questions you might have.

Active duty personnel who both live and work more than 50 miles away are outside of our catchment area. There is a dental program for you to see a civilian dentist through TRICARE Remote.
