Typical dental treatments and their costs

Ongoing dental treatments can take many forms. Common treatments that often require dental supplementary insurance include:

1. Implant treatment: A dental implant can cost between €1,000 and €3,000. Additional costs for crowns, bridges, or root treatments are often added.
2. Dental prosthetics (e.g., bridges or crowns): These usually cost between €500 and €1,500 per tooth, depending on the type of prosthetic.
3. Periodontitis therapy: A treatment for periodontitis can cost between €300 and €2,000, depending on severity.
4. Orthodontic treatment: This can cost several thousand euros, especially for teenagers and adults, depending on complexity.
5. Treatment and cost plan: The treatment and cost plan (HKP) is a dental document necessary for comprehensive treatment, as it lists the planned procedures and their costs in detail.

Especially for extensive or expensive treatments, dental supplementary insurance can help cover the costs. Without insurance, patients often face high out-of-pocket expenses.

The most common problems with dental supplementary insurance during ongoing treatment

Many people wonder if they can take out dental supplementary insurance during ongoing treatment. The answer is not always simple. Some of the most common issues patients face include:

1. Waiting periods and exclusions: Many dental supplementary insurances have a waiting period during which no costs are covered. But what happens if your treatment has already started? In many cases, policyholders must forgo expensive services because they are not covered if the treatment began before the policy start date.
2. Lying about treatment status: To gain coverage, some attempt to mislead the insurer about their actual treatment status. However, this practice can lead to a denial of coverage or even cancellation of the policy.
3. Penalties and sanctions: Those who take out dental supplementary insurance but fail to disclose all relevant information about their treatment risk non-coverage of costs or even penalties.

Statutory vs. private dental supplementary insurance

The differences between statutory and private dental supplementary insurance are significant when it comes to covering ongoing treatments.

Private dental insurance

• Private dental supplementary insurances typically offer significantly higher reimbursement rates, especially for ongoing and expensive treatments like implants, periodontitis therapy, or braces.
• Example: A private supplementary insurance could cover up to 90% of treatment costs for dental prosthetics or implants – and that immediately, without a waiting period.

Choosing the right tariff is crucial. An immediate protection tariff, for example, can take effect immediately during ongoing dental treatments.
