My husband needs dental implants desperately. Does VA pay for dental implants or partially pay?

VA Dental care is limited to 100% Disabled or Service Connected dental disability.

U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs folks who are members on RP could perhaps chime in on this to help.

Do you get VA Caregiver funds?

Dental care is limited to 100% Service Connected, unless you have a rating for a dental condition.
The only other way is if your enrolled in Chapter 31 Education services or develop dental issues while admitted for another issue. Preexisting problems are excluded.
Sorry, but that's the way it is.

LTC Jason Strickland may also have advice on this. I think he is a leader at the VA.

As for whether the VA covers dental implants or partially pays for them, it's best to directly contact them to inquire about their specific policies. They'll be able to provide the most accurate information regarding coverage. In the meantime, if your husband is experiencing any immediate dental issues, you might want to consider reaching out to https://eastmahoganydental.ca/ who can provide assistance.... They can assess the situation and provide guidance on the best course of action. Wishing you and your husband the best, and I hope you find the support you need!
