Kosten für Zahnersatz: Ein (umfassender) Leitfaden für Patienten!

The cost of dental prosthetics a quick guide for you Hello and hi everyone my name is Dr Andreas Vogtner I'm a dentist in Ingolstadt Let's get started right away Okay when it comes to dental prosthetics you naturally always need to discuss costs upfront and that's exactly what we do in our practice Let me quickly explain how the costs of dental prosthetics are structured On one hand there's the dental treatment itself Also what actually happens in practice counts as one part But with dental restorations you still have the laboratory's role to consider As a rule let's take a simple example: when making a crown the dentist prepares the tooth Take the impression either conventionally or using a scanner And the data or the impression that results from this s used to create a custom crown for your tooth The dental procedure involves preparing the tooth at the chair and the placement of the tooth or dental crown after completion Laboratory work begins after tooth preparation and the dental technician Today a crown tailored specifically for you is typically designed on a computer for example using the material zircon which he then adjusts accordingly and individually including the coloring Painted to match the color and adjusted to look like a natural tooth The cost of dental prosthetics consists one hand of dental treatment expenses and the costs incurred in the laboratory Laboratory costs may either be incurred at an external lab meaning a laboratory that is not part of the practice or partly in the practice's own laboratory meaning a lab owned by the clinic The cost naturally depends entirely on the type of treatment required A simple crown on a natural tooth is more affordable than one on an implant since naturally the implant requires additional procedures and costs must be completed before the dental prosthesis is made Which means of course it's entirely individual and depends on your specific situation what type of dental restoration is being made One must also generally distinguish between private and statutory health insurance Private dental insurance is governed by the dental fee schedule In public insurance a portion is determined by the measurement standard The dentists' fees are calculated But to ensure medical progress not only for those with statutory health insurance There is also an additional section covered under the private sector which is likewise included in the dental fee schedule What's important for you I think to get through this topic is at your dentist discusses the costs with you before the treatment begins That way he can take your individual circumstances into account may include any necessary preliminary treatments such as root canal therapy or root re-treatment We’ll tailor our approach to your specific needs whether it’s a custom crown preparation or additional measures before proceeding with dental restoration Of course your dentist will also discuss with you in detail how the costs are structured Since dental prosthetics typically involve higher treatment costs you might want to look into dental supplemental insurance These dental supplemental insurance plans are designed to cover the cost burden that you personally incur To buffer because under statutory health insurance the statutory health insurance covers a so-called fixed subsidy This is therefore the sufficiently practical and economical level of provision But if you claim a service that exceeds this Is it worth having a dental supplemental insurance that either covers this amount entirely or cushions the cost It depends entirely on which plan you choose But it's also worth considering It's wise to think about and research dental supplemental insurance before visiting the dentist And you must also know that as soon as a need for treatment is established A dental supplemental insurance does not naturally cover treatment costs So be sure to check the details of your dental supplemental insurance beforehand f you already know that you require treatment I hope that I’ve given you a little insight o the topic of dental treatment costs Giving actual house numbers is very difficult for me so that it is truly tailored specifically to you and to the individual practice setting That's why you should get informed beforehand and have a treatment plan prepared in advance And if necessary discuss the treatment costs with your dentist beforehand If you enjoyed the video please consider subscribing or giving it a like Otherwise feel free to drop any questions in the comments Cheers and see you next time
