How are the total costs calculated?
The total costs of the treatment for dentures differ greatly per treatment. They depend, among other things, on the number of teeth to be extracted and the prosthesis to be placed or the adjustments to it. The dental rates that DentalZorg charges for treatments for dentures are in line with the market. These rates are determined annually by the Dutch Healthcare Authority (NZa).

Below you will find an overview of the global costs that are calculated for a consultation and for the manufacture of dentures. We would like to point out that all overviews are indications of the final amount to be paid for a treatment for dentures. Every situation differs from each other and costs may therefore differ. You can therefore not derive any rights from this.

Reimbursement of dentures from your health insurance

Complete dentures are reimbursed from the basic insurance and in most cases a personal contribution of 25% applies. In this situation, we assume that you no longer have your own teeth and that it concerns a standard denture. The situations may differ from person to person.

The other costs fall under the personal contribution (not to be confused with your deductible) which you must pay yourself. In addition, the basic insurance almost never reimburses the costs of partial dentures (partial dentures).

Reimbursement of dentures under the additional dental insurance
When your dentist determines that teeth must be extracted, these costs are calculated per tooth or molar. Your basic insurance does not cover these costs. These costs can be reimbursed if you have additional dental insurance.

Otherwise you pay these costs yourself. The personal contribution for your dentures can also be partially or fully covered by additional dental insurance. Please note that the reimbursement varies per health insurer. Many health insurers also have a maximum amount that will be reimbursed.
