Cigna Dental Insurance

Prevention serves as the cornerstone of pediatric dentistry. Regular dental visits allow us to monitor your child’s oral development, identify potential issues before they become serious problems, and establish healthy habits that will benefit them throughout their lives. Our preventive dental services include professional cleanings, thorough oral examinations, fluoride treatments that strengthen developing enamel, and dental sealants that protect vulnerable molar surfaces from decay.

We emphasize patient education during every visit, teaching children proper brushing and flossing techniques while helping parents understand how diet, habits, and home care practices impact their child’s oral health. Dr. Bennion believes in empowering families with knowledge so they can actively participate in maintaining their children’s dental health between appointments.

Despite our best preventive efforts, some children will require restorative dental care. When treatment becomes necessary, Dr. Bennion is committed to taking the most minimally invasive approach possible. According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, early intervention and conservative treatment approaches lead to better long-term outcomes for children’s oral health. Our restorative dental services help restore your child’s smile while prioritizing their comfort. Treatment options we offer include:

• Tooth-colored fillings that blend seamlessly with your child’s natural smile
• White crowns that restore both function and appearance
• Pulp therapy when needed to preserve damaged teeth

We prioritize preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible while ensuring your child remains comfortable throughout every procedure. Our approach focuses on minimally invasive techniques that respect your child’s developing smile and long-term oral health.

Families from throughout Guadalupe County and neighboring communities choose Guadalupe Kids Dental for compassionate, patient-focused pediatric dental care. Whether you live in New Braunfels, Gonzales, or Stockdale, our practice provides convenient access to board-certified pediatric dentistry that works with your Cigna insurance.

We recognize that families in rural and suburban areas like Geronimo, Marion, Kingsbury, Avery Park, and Navarro Ranch often face limited options for pediatric dental care. That’s why we’ve created a welcoming, family-centered environment where every child receives individualized attention regardless of where they live.

Starting dental care with a new practice can feel uncertain, but we’ve designed our first infant visits and initial appointments to be comfortable and educational. During your child’s first appointment, we’ll review their complete medical and dental history, perform a gentle age-appropriate examination, and develop a personalized care plan addressing their specific needs.

Dr. Bennion takes time to explain every step of the process to both parents and children using language they can understand. We encourage questions and provide detailed explanations about treatment recommendations, preventive strategies, and what to expect as your child’s smile develops through different stages of growth.

Dental emergencies rarely happen at convenient times. When your child experiences a dental emergency, having quick access to experienced pediatric dental care can make a significant difference in the outcome. Our practice provides prompt attention for urgent situations including severe toothaches, dental trauma from sports or playground accidents, broken teeth, and other situations requiring immediate professional care.

Having Cigna insurance means you can seek emergency dental treatment without worrying about prohibitive costs, as we work directly with your insurance benefits to ensure your child receives the timely care they need. We understand that dental emergencies can be stressful for both children and parents, so we prioritize creating a calm, supportive environment even during urgent situations.

Dr. Bennion’s extensive training in sedation dentistry and the treatment of medically complex pediatric patients distinguishes Guadalupe Kids Dental from general dental practices that occasionally treat children. His residency at one of the nation’s premier children’s hospitals provided training that extends well beyond standard dental school education.

Our practice welcomes children with special needs, offering accommodations and individualized approaches that create positive dental experiences for every child. As a parent who personally understands the unique challenges of caring for a child with special needs, Dr. Bennion brings both professional expertise and genuine empathy to every appointment.
