Dental care covered by your health insurance

Before you can visit a dentist, you have to register at a dentist practice. This is often done at a dental practice within your municipality and you are free to choose.

Dental care is covered by the additional dental insurance. If you do not have an additional dental insurance, you have to pay the bill yourself. For children younger than 18 years, the basic health insurance covers dental care.

Reimbursement of dental costs

If you recently applied for an additional dentist insurance but did not receive your insurance number, you have to pay the bill yourself. As soon as you receive your insurance number, you can send the bill forward to your insurance company which will reimburse the costs.

When you have an insurance number and an additional dentist insurance, the dentist will forward the bill directly to the insurance company that will take care of the reimbursement.

Do I have to pay excess for dental care?

No, you do not have to pay deductible excess for dental care.
