What Sarasota Patients Are Saying
Dental Services Often Covered by Cigna
Most Cigna dental plans cover preventive care and many restorative treatments. Some plans may also provide partial coverage for certain cosmetic procedures. During your first visit, our team will review your Cigna benefits so you know what your plan covers.
Dental Exam
Comprehensive dental exams are commonly covered by Cigna dental plans and help our team identify concerns early while protecting your long-term oral health.
Dental Cleaning
Most Cigna dental plans include routine cleanings to help remove plaque buildup and reduce the risk of cavities and gum disease.
Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays are often included as part of preventive dental care and allow us to detect issues that may not be visible during an oral exam.
Composite Fillings
Many Cigna dental plans provide coverage for tooth-colored fillings used to repair cavities and restore the strength and function of a tooth.
Extractions
When a tooth cannot be saved, many Cigna dental plans provide coverage for extractions to relieve discomfort and prevent further problems.
Crowns & Bridges
Many Cigna dental plans include partial benefits for crowns and bridges, which help restore the function and appearance of damaged or missing teeth.
Dental Implants
While coverage varies by Cigna plan, some policies may include partial benefits for dental implants. Implants are designed to replace missing teeth and restore strength, stability, and function.
Invisalign® Clear Aligners
Cigna dental plans with orthodontic benefits may offer partial coverage for Invisalign treatment for qualifying patients.
