Why do military families choose Stone Falls Dental Care?
Because the people caring for them have been there. The practice has said it in its own words: “Our military ties run deep and are very personal.”
Dr. Prane went to dental school on a full Navy scholarship, did her advanced general dentistry residency with the Navy in Pensacola, Florida, and served on active duty, reaching Lieutenant Commander. Military dentistry is work she has done herself, in uniform.
You can read the rest of her training on Dr. Prane’s profile.
Does the staff have military ties too?
Yes. Many of our staff members have also served, and many have family members in the military today. For a spouse managing appointments around a deployment or a retiree sorting out new coverage, that shared background makes the conversation easier.
Their own families have juggled the same coverage questions and the same moves, so you can ask about either without explaining the background first. For coverage questions, a treatment coordinator can walk you through how your military plan applies to the care you need.
Does Stone Falls Dental Care accept TriCare and United Concordia?
Yes. We accept and work with TriCare, United Concordia and the various military insurance plans, along with most civilian plans. The TRICARE Dental Program for family members of active-duty service members, and for Guard and Reserve members and their families, is administered by United Concordia.
Before any treatment starts, our treatment coordinators will check your benefits at no charge and tell you what the plan covers. The full list of plans and payment methods is on our financial options page.
What discount do military families receive?
Immediate family members of active and retired military receive a discount on all procedures. There is no coupon and no end date; just call to book and bring your military ID to the visit.
The practice has also offered free professional teeth whitening to veterans and military families, a $299 value, after the new-patient exam, X-rays and cleaning, with a military or dependent ID. Ask the front desk whether it is running, and see the other current offers as well.
Do families from Scott Air Force Base come here?
They do, and they have for years. The office is on Frank Scott Parkway in O’Fallon, and Scott Air Force Base is one of the communities the practice has long served, alongside Shiloh, Fairview Heights, Swansea, Belleville and Collinsville.
A permanent change of station often lands a family here mid-year with records scattered across the country. Bring whatever records and X-rays you have, and we’ll start from a full exam and build a plan from there, with your new coverage checked first.
