How does dental insurance work?

I currently have Cigna's dental insurance and I went to the dentist a couple weeks ago and got diagnosed with Periodontal disease. the treatment is almost 700 with insurance and I was wondering would it be ok to try and find a dentist that is cheaper in this? I am getting some work done at this dentist already such as fillings and I already got a tooth pulled. I just don't want to, if I don't have to, pay 700 out of pocket! Would it be ok to try to find a periodontist that offers cheaper services?

1. You can try, but most periodontists are out of network and will result in a higher out of pocket cost for you. Also, most specialists are on a different (higher) fee schedule even if they are "in network". Regardless, your costs will more than likely be higher.
2. healthquotes.awardspace.info - I switched to this health insurance from them, cause it gives much cheaper rates for mе.
