Cigna Coverage Availability & Fees

Cigna dental insurance works like a benefits plan you use at your dentist’s office. You or your employer pay upfront for coverage that you can take advantage of throughout the year. It is important to note that Cigna benefits are set on a calendar year and do not roll over from one period to the next. During the years that you meet your deductible, it will be important to reach as close to your annual maximum to avoid having to pay more out-of-pocket fees in the next year. As an in-network dentist, we can help you make strategic decisions to stretch your benefits to the maximum.

Like most dental insurance plans, Cigna works with a heavy emphasis on prevention. Your coverage may vary based on a few factors, but in general, you can expect it to look like this:

• Preventive services: 100% covered. This includes 6 month checkups and cleanings, X-rays, and possibly dental sealants and fluoride treatments for children.
• Basic restorative services: 80% covered. This includes tooth-colored fillings, simple extractions, and other simple procedures.
• Complex restorative services: 50% covered. This includes crown and bridge, complex root canals, surgical extractions, and others.
• Elective services and cosmetic dentistry: Typically not covered by Cigna dental insurance when they are not necessary for your oral health.
