Dentures from Germany meet the highest quality standards in the world. This means that the legislator places high demands on the quality and compatibility of materials, the training of dentists and dental technicians and hygiene. The technical and human involvement in production is therefore very high. Even though some processes in dental technology can be carried out by machine, the majority of the work is still done by hand, so every dental prosthesis is an individually manufactured masterpiece. When you consider that such work can last 15, 20 or often even 30 years, the price is put into perspective. Nevertheless, the sum is naturally a high financial burden for many people. For this reason, we also offer the option of paying in installments in cooperation with the German Dental Computing Center (DZR), which is even interest-free for up to 6 months.

Many people abroad who make dentures work for €200-300 a month. Often these are not trained dental technicians, but assistants. A German dental technician earns 7-10 times more. In China, the profession of dental technician does not even exist. Although the glossy brochures of large providers often promise checks by German master dental technicians, with up to 2,000 employed unskilled workers it can hardly be assumed that everything can be checked by five German dental technicians.

Another important point is the quality of materials and hygiene standards, which are often nowhere near the level of German laboratories. To make matters worse, many well-known manufacturers bring out products under the same name but with different compositions in different markets, adapted to local standards. For allergy sufferers or patients with intolerances in particular, such procedures naturally harbor risks. In addition, the loose standards abroad have not only produced reputable providers. The market leader for foreign dentures in Germany in particular - MDH (Mamisch Dental) - made the headlines a few years ago (unfortunately also together with some dentists) due to fraudulent activities (at that time still under the name Globudent). The founders, the Mamisch brothers, were convicted of fraud and some of them were sent to prison. This history does not necessarily encourage people to trust such companies and entrust their own health to them and raises the question of whether foreign dentures are really cheaper. Of course, there are also reputable providers on the market who offer good quality work at reasonable prices from abroad. Unfortunately, we dentists hardly have the means to name these providers with absolute certainty.

The bonus booklet provides proof of regular check-ups at the dentist to the health insurance company. The health insurance company rewards this with higher subsidies for dental prostheses, such as crowns, bridges and dentures. If you can provide proof of uninterrupted check-ups over a period of 5 years, the bonus increases by 20%, and by 30% for 10 years.

All treatments are documented by us, so it is no problem to create a new bonus booklet and enter the check-ups. Unfortunately, we cannot add entries from other dentists as these are not documented by us. You will have to add them yourself.

For legal reasons alone, we are not allowed to recommend supplementary insurance. The fact is, however, that the market for such insurance is very extensive, so we can only recommend that you critically review and scrutinize the policies on offer. From our experience, however, we can say that you should not expect any major benefits from so-called "bargains" or cheap policies, some of which cost less than €10. Higher-quality insurance policies do, however, offer sensible subsidies for dentures, aesthetic fillings and professional dental cleaning.
