Platinum Pediatric Dentistry proudly accepts the NYC PBA / DEA Cigna Dental Plan. NYPD officers and their children enjoy zero out-of-pocket costs on dental care.
Long Island Pediatric Dental Care for NYPD Officers and Families
If you’re a New York City police officer or a member of the NYPD DEA union, there’s great news — Platinum Pediatric Dentistry is In-Network with the NYC PBA / DEA Cigna Dental Plan, offering zero out-of-pocket costs on preventative, basic, and major dental services for you and your children.
Serving families across Long Island and Queens, our board-certified pediatric dental team proudly partners with Cigna to ensure police officers and their loved ones receive exceptional, stress-free dental care at no additional cost.
We understand the dedication and service of NYPD families — and we’re honored to provide world-class pediatric care that supports your child’s lifelong oral health.
What Does “In-Network with the NYC PBA / DEA Cigna Dental Plan” Mean?
When a dental office is In-Network with your union dental plan, it means the practice has a contract with Cigna to provide covered services at pre-negotiated rates — with no balance billing or hidden fees.
For NYPD officers and their children, this means:
✅ 100% coverage for preventive care (cleanings, exams, fluoride, X-rays)
✅ Coverage for basic services (fillings, sealants, extractions)
✅ Coverage for major services (crowns, space maintainers, pediatric root canals)
✅ Zero out-of-pocket costs when seen at our in-network practice
