Using your Cigna plan at our Stonecrest office
Cigna offers both dental PPO plans and dental HMO (Cigna Dental Care DHMO) plans. PPO plans let you choose any pediatric dentist and pay based on the plan's network rules. DHMO plans require members to use an assigned dental office.
If your Cigna card shows a dental PPO network, we can verify your benefits and book your child in. If it shows a DHMO, call us first and we'll help you check your options.
Cigna plan types we accept
What Cigna usually helps cover for children
Every Cigna plan is different, but most dental PPO plans organize benefits the same way. Preventive care is typically covered at the highest level; basic and major treatment is covered at a lower percentage after your deductible, up to an annual maximum. We confirm your plan's exact numbers before treatment.
- Preventive care — exams, cleanings, fluoride and often sealants
- Digital x-rays — usually on a set schedule
- Fillings and crowns — typically basic or major services
- Nerve treatment and emergency care — covered according to your plan
- Sedation — varies widely, so we always check first
