Eigenanteile steigen: Zahnersatz geht bald stärker ins Geld: Wie kann man sparen?
Krone oder Brücke: Ab 2027 müssen Kassenpatienten tiefer in die Tasche greifen, die Festzuschüsse für Zahnersatz sinken. Sich nun zu kümmern, zahlt sich also aus. Wo noch Sparpotenzial wartet.
In 2027, dental insurance coverage will see reduced contributions, making dental procedures more expensive for those with statutory health insurance. The percentage of costs covered by the public health insurance will decrease from 60% to 50% without a bonus booklet, and from 70% to 65% with a 10-year uninterrupted bonus booklet. This means that patients with a 10-year bonus booklet will pay around €1,116 for a three-tooth bridge in 2027, down from €1,289 currently.
One way to save money on dental work is to obtain a second opinion from a dentist, which is free for all statutory health insurance holders. Another option is to consider purchasing dental insurance, especially if there is a history of dental problems in the family. However, it is important to weigh the costs of travel and other expenses when considering dental tourism.
