Can you simply switch?

Yes. In the Netherlands you choose for yourself which dentist treats you, and you may switch at any time. You do not have to give a reason, and there is no waiting list to register. Register using the form, and we will contact you to schedule your first appointment.

Do I need to cancel with my current dentist?

There is no need to cancel in advance. You can simply register with us. It is courteous, though, to let your previous dentist know that you are switching, so that they can transfer your records and round off your care properly.

Transferring your records and x-rays

To get off to a smooth start, it helps if we know your dental history. Ask your previous dentist for your recent x-rays and treatment details. With your consent, we can also request these directly from them. If you already have the details, please bring them to your first consultation; this way we can avoid taking unnecessary new x-rays.

Ongoing or planned treatment

Are you in the middle of a treatment, or is something still planned? That is no problem. During your first consultation we discuss what is under way and look together at how best to continue or complete it. Preserving your own teeth is always the starting point.

Your family can switch along too

The whole family is welcome. Children can come from their very first tooth; regular dental care for children up to the age of 18 is covered by the basic health insurance. When you register, please mention that you would like to register several family members.

The practice opens after the summer holidays and registration is open. You can register using the form; we will then call you to schedule your first appointment.
