Costs, reimbursement and tax

What does a Dental Implant cost?

This is a question frequently asked by email. Unfortunately, it is not possible to give a universal answer. The individuality of each patient in terms of local conditions, demands and other factors do not allow a general answer to this question. In addition, the dental advertising guidelines prohibit naming the costs of dental services on the Internet.

Fairly calculated prices

However, our practice is certainly not among the most expensive but also not the very cheapest. This much should be said. 

So far we have found a suitable solution for most of our patients and we try not to let a treatment fail because of the costs.

Fixed prices that are adhered to.

The aim is always to achieve absolute cost transparency. The once agreed price will then also be adhered to for the planned service. 

Before the start of treatment, a treatment and cost plan is always prepared and discussed. For smaller plans this can be done verbally. A larger planned work is always recorded in writing in advance.

We refrain from unrealistic price promises where unplanned additional costs arise during the course of treatment.  Occasionally, patients change to us in the course of an out-of-town treatment because the final costs were sometimes not fully communicated. 

Together we'll find the right solution.

And this in many respects. Quality of life expectations, duration, medical requirements and budget are just some of the variables that influence the overall treatment.

In principle, it is possible to arrange an installment plan. If many small installments are desired, we rather recommend a cost credit. Both can be discussed during the case planning process.

Reimbursement

Dental implants are purely private services. Depending on your insurance, you will be granted a subsidy. 

With the BVA it is 350€ for the implant and 200€ for the crown. In special medical cases, a special subsidy may be granted in addition to this.

SVS, KFA
Most public insurances also grant a subsidy for implant treatment in special medical cases, such as after tumor diseases.

You can claim your dental bill as an extraordinary expense.

The costs for dental treatment in general are in principle deductible in the tax return or employee assessment. Here you can claim the costs for yourself, your children and for spouses with low or no income as an extraordinary burden. 

We recommend that you clarify this with your tax advisor in advance. Likewise, they usually bear a small deductible, which depends on your income.
