Dental Benefits
What you need to know
The Cigna Dental Option 1 (Basic) plan covers all your dental needs, from routine exams and cleanings to major services like bridgework and crowns and orthodontia. Although you may see any dentist you like, when you visit a network dentist, you’ll pay less and you won’t have to file a claim.

If You Use an Out-of-Network Dentist
- You may pay more for services because non-participating dentists have not negotiated fee discounts with Cigna.
- You may need to pay the dentist yourself and then submit a claim to be reimbursed by Cigna.
- If you need to submit a dental claim yourself, ask your dentist for a standard American Dental Association claim form.
