Statutory NZa rates
The rates for dental care are set each year by the Dutch Healthcare Authority (NZa) and apply to every dentist in the Netherlands. With us you therefore never pay more than elsewhere for the same procedure. Each treatment is invoiced with an official procedure code, so your bill is transparent and easy to verify.
The current rates per procedure can be found on the NZa website and on your healthcare invoice.
What does your health insurer reimburse?
Adults: dental care largely falls outside the basic health insurance. With supplementary dental insurance, check-ups, dental hygiene and most treatments are reimbursed in full or in part, depending on your policy. It is worth knowing your cover, and we are happy to think along with you.
Children up to the age of 18: routine dental care (check-ups, fillings, dental hygiene) is reimbursed through the basic health insurance, with no excess to pay. Crowns, bridges and orthodontics generally fall outside this.
Aesthetic treatments such as whitening and veneers are usually not reimbursed; for these you always receive a cost estimate in advance.
Cost estimate in advance
For treatments above the statutory information threshold (or as soon as you ask for one) you receive a written cost estimate in advance, including the procedure codes, so that you can submit it to your insurer. That way you know exactly what the costs are beforehand.
Payment
We will publish the practical information about invoicing and payment (direct billing to insurers or invoicing through a factoring partner) here before we open.
