How dental care works in Switzerland
If you have just moved to the Riviera, the Swiss system works differently from most countries. Four things are worth knowing.
You choose your dentist directly
No referral or gatekeeper is needed. You contact the practice yourself and book an appointment.
Routine care is usually self-funded
Basic compulsory insurance generally excludes ordinary dental treatment. Some supplementary policies contribute — check your own contract.
Fees follow a national scale
Swiss dental fees are calculated using the DENTOTAR tariff system, which makes estimates comparable between practices.
You are billed after treatment
You normally receive an invoice and settle it yourself, then claim from your supplementary insurer if you have relevant cover.
Treatments available in English
Nervous about the dentist?
Language difficulty and dental anxiety often reinforce each other: it is harder to say stop, harder to ask what is happening, harder to trust the answer. Being able to speak English throughout the appointment removes one of those layers. We explain each step before it happens, agree a stop signal with you, and work at a pace you set. Our approach is described in more detail in our guide to dental anxiety in Montreux.

Will my Swiss health insurance pay for my dental treatment?
Usually not for routine care. Basic compulsory insurance under LAMal generally covers dental treatment only in specific circumstances, such as certain accidents or illnesses affecting the mouth. Supplementary dental policies vary widely, so check your own contract. We provide a written estimate you can submit to your insurer.
How much does a dental appointment cost in Montreux?

Can I be seen the same day for a dental emergency?
Often, yes. Call the practice and describe the problem. We assess urgency by telephone and offer a same-day appointment when capacity and the clinical situation allow. Details are on our emergency dentist page.

No. You contact the practice of your choice directly and book an appointment yourself.
Do you see children and teenagers?
