In more complex medical situations, we go into further detail. If needed, we may gather additional information or consult with your doctor(s), with your consent.

Background information on costs
In dental care, we work with fixed rates established annually by the Dutch Healthcare Authority. This is a list of codes and descriptions that represent various components of a treatment.
The cost of a treatment is the sum of the various components. These components all have a fixed maximum rate.
The complete list of all codes can be found at: www.allesoverhetgebit.nl
Did you know?
In Europe, the Netherlands has the highest percentage of people who still have all their own teeth, at 27%. That’s definitely something to be proud of! During the intake, we can explore with you the most comfortable approach and the guidance that best suits you to help increase this percentage even further.
