Dental Care

The Branch Dental Clinic, Naples is located at NSA, Agnano on the 6th floor of the Naval Hospital. The Branch Dental Clinic offers limited general dentistry care to active duty personnel at NSA, Capodichino.

Branch Dental Clinic, Naples provides a full range of dental services including Oral Surgery, Endodontics (root canals), Periodontics (treatment of gums and tooth-supporting bone), Prosthodontics (dentures, crowns, and bridges), Orthodontics (braces), Pediatric (children's) Dentistry, Restorative Dentistry (fillings), and prophylaxis treatment (cleanings). Priority for treatment is highest for active duty and active duty family members, then retirees, family members of retirees, and DoD civilians, in that order.

Prosthodontics and Orthodontics are limited to their availability. Prosthodontics is limited because of the demand created by active duty personnel. Orthodontics care is provided primarily to continue treatment initiated in CONUS prior to receipt of orders overseas. Patients who have braces placed after receipt of orders to Naples are not eligible for continuation of treatment. Rarely, a few new orthodontic patients are accepted for treatment, and these are selected primarily based upon the severity of the malocclusion. It is strongly recommended that patients be in good dental health prior to departing stateside for their overseas assignment.

DoD civilians and their family members are eligible for "space available care" at a lower priority than active duty personnel, their family members, retirees, and retirees family members. Federal law makes them ineligible for prosthodontics and orthodontics, even if the treatment was started prior to receipt of their job assignment in Naples. A fee for treatment, as determined by DoD, is charged for all dental work on DoD civilians. Space availability is extremely limited for DoD civilians and their family members, and it is strongly recommended that all dental treatment be completed prior to arrival in the Naples area.
