Aetna Dentist – Lincoln, NE
Maximizing Your Aetna Dental Insurance
Practicing good oral hygiene at home is highly effective and strongly encouraged by our team at South Ridge Dental. However, if you are failing to keep up with your regular six-month dental checkups and cleanings, you’re not only putting your oral health at risk but also missing out on valuable benefits through your dental insurance. Since most companies urge patients to pursue preventive dental care by covering most or all of the cost, you can expect to save when choosing to see a Cigna dentist in Lincoln. Fortunately, Dr. Ryan and Dr. Steven Shaffer are both in-network with Cigna and are ready to provide affordable services to help you smile, so call us today to learn more.
Aetna Coverage Availability & Fees
As a popular provider for families and individuals throughout the country, Aetna continues to provide money-saving plans for those who prioritize their oral healthcare needs.
When choosing an Aetna plan, you must commit to making your monthly premium payments if you want to maintain access to your available benefits. While each plan is slightly different, the breakdown of coverage looks somewhat the same:
- Preventive services, like dental checkups and cleanings, are covered at 100%
- Basic restorative services, like dental fillings, are covered at 80%
- Major restorative services, like dental crowns, dentures, and tooth extractions, are covered at 50%
By seeing our dentists every six months for preventive care, you’ll not only maintain a healthier smile but also save money by avoiding more serious oral health issues that require restorative care. In fact, researchers claim that for every $1 spent on prevention, you can save $50 on emergency and restorative dentistry. That’s quite the savings!
You can expect your Aetna plan to be here for you, though, should you accidentally damage a tooth or suffer a cavity or gum disease. The services associated with these particular problems are deemed medically necessary and may be partially covered as part of your plan.
This type of savings and care can only be achieved with the help of an in-network dentist. While you have the option of seeing someone who is not in-network with your dental plan, you’ll likely pay more for treatment. By seeing someone who partners with Aetna, you’ll pay the lowest fees for the care you receive.
