Studies show that every dollar spent on preventive dental care can save between $8 to $50 in restorative and emergency treatments.1 This remarkable return on investment explains why dental insurance is one of the most valuable benefits you can have.
At Wells Family Dental in Raleigh, NC, we are pleased to accept Cigna dental insurance, helping our patients receive top-quality care. This article explains how to leverage those benefits, so that you can get the most out of your Cigna plan.
Understanding Your Dental Benefits
Dental insurance operates on a fundamentally different principle than medical insurance. Instead of focusing primarily on treating problems after they occur, dental coverage emphasizes preventative care, through:
- Routine visits: Regular cleanings and exams to avoid future problems.
- Early detection: Catching issues when they are small and easily treated.
- Cost savings: Investing in prevention rather than expensive repairs.
- Long-term health: Maintaining your natural teeth for life.
This approach saves you money while protecting your oral health and overall wellbeing.2
Why Cigna Stands Out
Cigna has built a reputation as one of the premier dental insurance providers in the country. Their plans are known for:
- Comprehensive coverage: Preventive, basic, and major dental services included.
- High-percentage benefits: Preventive services often covered at 100 percent.
- Wellness integration: Recognition that oral health connects to overall health.
- Extensive network: Access to quality dentists nationwide.
- Transparent policies: Clear, straightforward coverage terms.
With Cigna, you can maintain your oral health throughout the year without worrying about the expense.
Maximizing Your Coverage
Most Cigna plans include benefits that patients often overlook:
- Two professional cleanings per year
- Annual comprehensive exams
- Preventive X-rays
- Fluoride treatments for children and at-risk adults
Our team at Wells Family Dental helps you take full advantage of these benefits by:
- Sending appointment reminders
- Tracking your annual maximum
- Suggesting optimal timing for treatments
- Ensuring you don’t lose unused benefits at year-end
