Tips to stretch your Cigna benefits
- 01
Know your plan year
Annual maximums reset each plan year and do not roll over. Unused benefits are lost, so schedule needed treatment before your plan resets.
- 02
Keep up with preventive visits
Many plans cover two cleanings a year. These visits also include an oral cancer screening and help prevent costly problems.
- 03
Ask for a pre-treatment estimate
For larger work like a crown or root canal therapy, we can help you understand expected costs before you commit.

Questions about seeing a Cigna dentist in Richardson
Is Gentle Touch Dentistry in-network with Cigna?
Yes. We are in-network with Cigna PPO dental plans. Our coordinator will verify your specific plan before your visit, because benefits, deductibles and annual maximums vary from one Cigna policy to another.
Does Cigna cover crowns?
Many Cigna PPO plans cover crowns as a major restorative service, typically around 50–70% after your deductible. Your exact coverage depends on your plan, waiting periods and remaining annual maximum. We will check and explain your share before treatment.
What if my Cigna plan isn't a PPO?
Our network participation is with Cigna PPO plans. If you have another type of Cigna plan, please call (469) 947-3963 before scheduling so our coordinator can review it with you. Patients without usable coverage can ask about our in-office membership plan.
How often will Cigna pay for cleanings?
Many Cigna plans cover two preventive cleanings and exams per year, often at 100%. Some plans differ, so we confirm your frequency limits when we verify your benefits.
Can I see a Cigna dentist in Richardson for an emergency?
Yes. We offer same-day emergency appointments when possible. Call us right away, and we will check your Cigna coverage while we get you scheduled for emergency dental care.
Do you file my Cigna claims?
Yes. Our team submits claims to Cigna on your behalf and follows up on them. You will only be responsible for your share, such as deductibles or coinsurance, which we explain ahead of time.
Do unused Cigna benefits carry over?
Generally no. Most dental plans reset each plan year, and unused annual maximums do not roll over. Scheduling needed care before your plan resets helps you get full value from your premiums.
