Transparent pricing
How is the price of dental treatment calculated?
Two treatments with the same name may require different amounts of time, materials or laboratory work. The final price therefore depends on your clinical situation and the option chosen.
Number of points x point value = treatment fee
Each procedure is assigned a number of points. For private patients, the clinic currently applies a point value of CHF 1.10.
- Procedures are itemized on the estimate and invoice.
- Laboratory fees, special materials and medication are shown when they apply.
- For significant treatment, available options can be compared before you decide.
Three situations to distinguish
Which fee system applies to your treatment?

Swiss Dental Association fee informationHealth insurance
Limited cases
Compulsory health insurance does not cover routine dental care. Eligible treatment must meet specific legal conditions.
Federal Office of Public Health informationGeneral information may change. Your individual estimate, the insurer’s decision and the terms of your policy remain decisive.
What affects the amount
Why a single fixed price could be misleading
A consultation allows us to assess the true extent of treatment and avoid an overly general estimate.
Diagnosis and imaging
The number of teeth involved, the depth of a lesion and any required X-rays influence the plan.
Clinical complexity
Access to the tooth, urgency, anesthesia and the number of canals or surfaces to restore may alter the time required.
Materials and laboratory
A crown, prosthesis or implant may include separate components and dental laboratory work.
Chosen option
When several options are clinically possible, we discuss their benefits, limitations, maintenance and costs with you.
Number of appointments
Preparation, healing, trial fittings and reviews may require several appointments.
Long-term follow-up
Durability also depends on oral hygiene, check-ups and the maintenance recommended after treatment.
Reimbursement in Switzerland
What insurance may cover
Compulsory health insurance (LAMal/KVG)
As a rule, compulsory health insurance does not reimburse dental treatment. Coverage is provided only in situations defined by law, including certain serious and unavoidable diseases of the masticatory system, consequences of certain serious illnesses, or an accident when no other insurance covers the case.
Routine care related to tooth decay and ordinary orthodontics is not covered by compulsory insurance. Except in an emergency, prior approval from the insurer may be required.

Frequently asked questions
Fees, estimates and payment
Is an estimate prepared before treatment?
Yes. When treatment is planned, we prepare an estimate after the examination and diagnosis. In an emergency, necessary immediate care may come before the complete plan.
Why not publish a fixed price for every treatment?
The total cost depends on the extent of the problem, clinical complexity, materials, laboratory work and the chosen option. An isolated price could therefore be misleading.
What does a CHF 1.10 point value mean?
In DENTOTAR®, every procedure is assigned a number of points. For private patients, that number is multiplied by the point value currently applied by the clinic: CHF 1.10.
Does compulsory insurance cover cleaning, cavities or implants?
As a rule, routine dental treatment is not covered by compulsory health insurance. Only certain cases defined by law may qualify. Supplementary insurance may contribute depending on your policy.
Can I pay in instalments?
Payment by instalments may be considered for some treatments, subject to approval by the dentists’ billing service. Please discuss this with us before treatment begins.
What should I send to my insurer?
For significant treatment, send the detailed estimate and request written confirmation of coverage before starting, except in an emergency.
