Welcome to My Dental Implants Center: Your Go-To
for Cigna Dental Implants in Mesa, AZ!
Cigna Dental patients needing to replace one, some, or even all teeth will be comforted to know that My Dental Implant Center does indeed submit claims on behalf of our patients to Cigna Dental insurance. Dental coverage varies from patient to patient, usually depending on the dental plan provided by their employer, so it’s important to understand that while we submit claims, it is completely up to Cigna Dental and your specific plan how much, if any, of the dental implant costs are covered.
Understandably, most patients prefer to know in advance if implants are covered, and what they can expect to pay out of pocket, if anything. This is why we advise our Cigna Dental patients to consult their plan guidelines before electing to receive implants. We suggest calling Cigna Dental customer service (their phone number is usually on the back of the dental insurance card) to get all the details on how your plan addresses dental implants. Alternatively, logging in to your Cigna Dental plan online and reading the specifics can also usually be helpful. We have included some information to consider, but be sure to confirm this applies to you by getting in touch directly with Cigna Dental.
Curious About Alternatives to Dentures?
Thinking of alternatives? We offer those, too! Dental implants are a stellar option if you’re looking for something more permanent. They meld with your jawbone, offering a solid foundation, and they act just like your natural teeth! They’re all about giving you that solid, natural feel for your bite and your smile.
| What to Check | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Plan Type (PPO vs HMO / DHMO / EPO) | Can you choose any provider or must you use a specific one? Using a doctor not approved by Cigna Dental may increase out-of-pocket costs or result in no coverage of implants at all. |
| Major Restorative / “Optional/Major” Services | To insurance companies, implants are often considered “major restorative services.” Asking if your plan covers major services, may help ensure the representative you speak with answers specifically about implants being included. |
| Missing Tooth Clause | A missing tooth clause is found in some dental insurance plans that limits or excludes coverage for replacing a tooth that was lost before the policy became active.
There are still options. Some plans will provide coverage after a waiting period or partial benefits. We also may be able to provide a phased treatment, if appropriate for your situation. Third-party financing options also exist, which we will help you navigate. |
| Waiting Periods | If implants are covered, have you been enrolled in your dental plan long enough? Sometimes there are waiting periods. |
| Annual / Lifetime Maximums | If your plan covers dental implants, is there a maximum benefit amount- either annual or lifetime? If the implant cost exceeds that, you will be responsible for paying the rest. |
| In-Network vs Out-of-Network Providers | Similar to the first consideration in this list, Plan Type, using in-network providers usually means lower costs, since fees are negotiated. If you go out of network, you may have higher bills. Ask if this applies to your specific plan. |
| Pre-authorization or Predetermination | Does your plan require that your dentist submit a treatment plan ahead of time (many plans do). This gives the insurance company time to review and approve if and what parts of the implant process will be covered. |
| What Parts of the Implant Process are Covered | Dental implant procedures often include multiple parts: initial exam & imaging (x-rays, CT scans), bone grafting (if needed), placement of the implant post, abutment, crown, and follow-ups. Your plan might cover some but not all, so be sure to get the details in advance. |
We realize this is a lot of information and that it can seem overwhelming, but between Cigna Dental customer service and their website and My Dental Implant Center, we will help you navigate it all. Remember, the investment in implants is not just about teeth; it’s about restoring comfort, confidence, and long-term health, so the effort is worth it. With the right information and support, you can move forward knowing you’re making a choice that will benefit you for years to come.
