Dental

Your dental health is an important part of your overall wellness.

SFA offers the choice of three different dental plans to help you maintain your oral health. With the Cigna Dental plan, you can keep your teeth and gums healthy by getting a free checkup twice a year. If you need treatment or have a dental emergency, the plan also pays a portion of those costs. If you receive in-network services, you will be responsible for any applicable cost sharing, negotiated charges after benefit maximums are met and costs for non-covered services. 


If you receive out-of-network services, you will be responsible for any applicable cost sharing, charges in excess of the benefit maximum, charges in excess of the negotiated fee schedule amount and charges for non-covered services.

Preventive care can save you money later on procedures that are more urgent, complex, and costly.

  • Routine dental checkups and cleanings should be scheduled every six months. Your dentist may recommend more frequent or fewer visits, depending on your dental health history.


  • Professional fluoride treatments can be a key defense against cavities. Professional fluoride treatments have significantly more fluoride than tap water or toothpaste, and take only minutes to apply.


  • Dental sealants go a step beyond fluoride by providing a thin coating to the surface of your teeth. Most dental plans cover sealants as preventive care for children under 18 on their first and second molars.


  • X-ray images of your mouth may be taken to better evaluate your oral health. These images provide a more detailed look inside your teeth and gums.
