Cigna DPPO Dentist in Spokane, WA
Most people don't realize how much their Cigna Total DPPO actually covers until they're sitting in the chair — and that's exactly why we walk you through it before we ever pick up an instrument. At Trailhead Dental, being in-network with Cigna means the contracted rates are already built in, so you're not guessing what you'll owe when you check out.
When you come in, our team handles the insurance side so you don't have to. We'll verify your benefits before your appointment, let you know what your plan covers, and explain any out-of-pocket costs in plain language. Dr. Jake Storer keeps the conversation open — if something comes up during your exam, you'll hear about it before anything is scheduled, and you'll know exactly how your Cigna plan applies.
Trailhead Dental is located at 5011 W Lowell Ave in Spokane, and we're currently welcoming new patients. If you've been putting off a visit because you weren't sure how your insurance works here, this is a good place to start. Book online or give us a call — we'll take it from there.
What Does Your Cigna Total DPPO Cover at Trailhead Dental?
Cigna's Total DPPO plan is structured around three tiers of care, and most people are surprised by how much falls into the preventive category. Routine cleanings, exams, and x-rays are typically covered at or near 100% when you see an in-network dentist — which means your twice-a-year visits usually cost you very little out of pocket. That's the part of your plan worth using every single year.
For basic services like fillings and simple extractions, your plan usually covers a significant portion — often around 70 to 80% after your deductible. Major work like crowns, root canals, and bridges typically falls into a separate tier covered at a lower percentage, usually around 50%, though this varies by your specific plan and employer. Your plan will also have an annual maximum — the most Cigna will pay in a given year — so it's worth knowing where you stand before scheduling bigger procedures. We always recommend verifying your exact benefits with us or directly with Cigna before your visit, just so there are no surprises.
Trailhead Dental Is an In-Network Cigna DPPO Provider
Being in-network with Cigna isn't just a label — it has a real effect on what you pay. Because Trailhead Dental has a direct contract with Cigna, we've agreed to their fee schedule, which means your insurance pays its share based on those contracted rates rather than whatever the full price might be. That gap between the full fee and the contracted fee? You don't pay it.
For you, that translates to lower out-of-pocket costs on just about everything — from your routine cleaning to more involved treatment. You still have a deductible and an annual maximum to keep in mind, but working with an in-network provider in Spokane means your Cigna benefits stretch further from the start.
Why Spokane Patients Choose Trailhead Dental
Dr. Jake Storer built Trailhead Dental around the idea that going to the dentist shouldn't feel like a chore you dread. He takes time with his patients — not in a rushed, move-to-the-next-chair kind of way, but in a way where you actually leave understanding what's going on with your teeth and what comes next. People notice that difference pretty quickly.
The team here is also genuinely good at the insurance part of the job. They'll look up your Cigna benefits, tell you what to expect cost-wise, and flag anything worth knowing before treatment starts. Trailhead Dental's extended Tuesday and Wednesday hours — open until 7 PM — make it easier to get in without rearranging your whole day. If you're ready to get started, call us at (509) 4717-877 or book online anytime.

Going in-network means the dentist has agreed to Cigna’s contracted rates. So Cigna and your dentist have already negotiated what procedures cost — you’re not paying full price. Going out-of-network means those agreements don’t exist, and you could end up paying more out of pocket. Staying in-network with a provider like Dr. Storer is generally the smarter move for your wallet.
Most Cigna DPPO plans cover preventive care — like cleanings, exams, and X-rays — at the highest level, sometimes fully. Basic restorative work like fillings is typically covered at a solid percentage too. Major work like crowns or root canals usually has coverage as well, though at a lower rate. Your exact coverage depends on your specific plan, so we’re happy to help you check before your appointment.
