Supplemental Dental Insurance

What is German Supplemental Dental Insurance?

Supplemental dental insurance is also known as “Zahnzusatzversicherung” in german. This is an additional insurance that you will purchase on top of your public insurance. With this insurance you will have extensive dental insurance that covers costly procedures that are not covered by the basic public dental insurance. Supplemental dental insurance typically covers major dental procedures such as porcelain crowns, bridges, braces, root canals, etc.

Which types of dental work is typically covered by German public insurance?

  • Two annual check-ups
  • Teeth cleaning
  • Basic fillings 
  • Limited major dental work

 

Why should I get supplemental dental insurance?

If you anticipate needing coverage for procedures beyond the items stated above, it is highly recommended to purchase supplemental dental insurance. We said “anticipate needing” because most insurances require a waiting period.

For example, if an insurance company requires an 8 month waiting period, then you must wait 8 months from the day you take out the insurance until the day you receive the procedure. The procedure alone can get quite pricey whereas dental insurance will only cost you about 9€ per month.
