Get to know the Cigna Dental PPO (DPPO) plan.
The power of preventive dental care
When you enroll in the Cigna Dental PPO (DPPO) plan, certain preventive dental care services like cleanings, oral exams and routine x-rays are covered at no additional cost when you use a network dentist. 1 And those visits are about more than brightening your smile — they’re important for maintaining your overall health, too.
People who do not get preventive care are 1.5 times more likely to develop gum disease, which can cause complications, especially for people with underlying medical conditions. 2
People who get regular preventive care are 22 percent less likely to need care at an emergency room or urgent care center. 2

Your plan includes other features and benefits to help make getting dental care simple and affordable, including: Enhanced flexibility The Cigna DPPO plan allows you to choose any licensed dentist for care. However, you’ll save more by using a dentist in the Total DPPO network. The Total DPPO network offers convenient access to highly rated dentists all across the country and savings on covered dental services. 3 Savings and convenience Network dentists have agreed to reduce their fees for Cigna customers. They will also file claims for you and they cannot “balance bill” you for the difference between their regular fees and the reduced fees they have agreed to accept from Cigna.
Preventive care at no additional cost Your plan covers certain preventive care services like cleanings, oral exams and routine x-rays at no additional cost when you use a network dentist. 1
What is balance billing? Balance billing happens when a dentist who isn’t in your plan’s network charges more than your plan pays. Balance billing is a risk when you get services from an out-of-network dentist, so it helps to understand the difference between in-network and out-of-network dentists.
