Frequently Asked Questions

Which Medicaid dental plans do you accept in Greenspoint?

We accept Texas STAR Medicaid delivered through major MCOs including DentaQuest, MCNA Dental, and UnitedHealthcare Community Plan. Call 832-779-5522 and we confirm your specific MCO is accepted before scheduling.

Is there a copay for Medicaid dental visits?

For most Texas Medicaid plans there is no copay for children's dental services. Adult Medicaid may have very small copays set by your MCO. We confirm any cost before your appointment — there are no checkout surprises.

My Medicaid is active but I haven't been to a dentist in years. Can I still come?

Yes — as long as your Medicaid is currently active, your benefits are available immediately. There is no penalty for a gap in dental care. We welcome patients who are returning to dentistry after a long absence. We meet you where you are and help you move forward.

Medicaid won't cover what I need — what are my options?

For procedures not covered by Medicaid (crowns, implants, cosmetic work), we offer CareCredit and Sunbit financing — both subject to lender credit approval. We explain terms clearly before you apply. See our payment plans page →
