The final price depends on the material, laboratory work, number of units and preparatory care. Routine dental prosthetics are generally not covered by Swiss compulsory insurance; statutory exceptions and supplementary cover depend on the case and policy.

FAQ

Dental prosthetics questions, answered

What is the difference between fixed and removable work?

Fixed work is cemented or screwed in place and is not removed daily. A denture is removed for cleaning. Suitability depends on the clinical situation and your priorities.

Is a bridge always better than an implant?

No. A bridge uses neighbouring teeth, whereas an implant requires sufficient bone and surgery. Each has benefits, limitations and maintenance needs.

How long does fabrication take?

Timing varies with the design, laboratory work, try-ins and preliminary treatment. A temporary solution may sometimes be possible.

How long does a dental prosthesis last?

No lifetime can be guaranteed. Maintenance, bite forces, supporting teeth, gum health and regular reviews all affect prognosis.
