When you know you need dental care, this plan offers the most coverage of our three dental insurance plans. This dental coverage can help you take care of check-ups, cavities, gum disease, and major dental work.1 This is also our only dental plan with coverage for braces and other orthodontia (capped at a $1,000 lifetime limit and 12 month waiting period applies).

If you had a qualified dental insurance plan in place for at least 12 consecutive months before you joined Cigna, we will waive the waiting period for restorative care, so you can get that filling or root canal right away. Otherwise, there is a waiting period of 6 months for basic restorative services or 12 months for major restorative services.2

With this flexible dental Preferred Provider Organization (DPPO) plan, you can see any dentist, but you’ll save money by choosing a Cigna DPPO Network Advantage dentist.*,**
