Dental Restoration Guide
Dental restoration can involve individual teeth or a series of coordinated treatments. Which options are appropriate and what costs will be incurred can only be determined based on your specific clinical findings.

Fully assess clinical findings

Discuss costs transparently
What dental restoration can entail
Depending on the initial situation, the treatment plan may include minor restorations—such as fillings or inlays—as well as crowns, bridges, implants, or veneers. There is no single “right” choice that applies to every case. The decisive factors are which teeth can be preserved, which functions need to be restored, and what aesthetic goals are desired.
You can find an overview of more extensive treatment concepts under comprehensive dental restorations.
Why costs cannot be stated as a flat rate
Costs depend on factors such as the number and condition of the affected teeth, the scope of treatment, the materials chosen, and any necessary preparatory steps. Laboratory services and the specific execution of the restoration also influence the treatment plan.
Reimbursement provided by health or supplemental insurance depends on the specific policy terms. Therefore, a fixed reimbursement rate cannot be guaranteed; insurance-related questions should be clarified using your individual policy documents before treatment begins.
Transparency begins with a thorough examination
Diadentis schedules approximately 1.5 hours for a new patient’s initial examination. The findings are compiled and subsequently explained in clear, understandable terms. This includes the planned steps, the reasons for them, and the estimated costs.
This allows options to be compared before a decision is made. In more complex cases, the treatment may consist of several coordinated stages.
Questions to help you decide
Which teeth can be saved? What alternatives are available? How do the proposed materials differ? Which treatment steps are medically necessary, and which are supplementary? How long is the treatment likely to take, and what aftercare is involved?
These questions provide a good basis for a personal consultation. Further information can be found in the guide “Crowns, Bridges, or Implants?”.
Frequently asked questions about costs and planning
Is there a fixed price for dental restoration?
No. The scope, materials, laboratory services, and preparatory treatments vary. A reliable cost estimate is only possible after an examination and treatment planning.
Does insurance cover the full cost of treatment?
That depends on your insurance provider, your specific plan, the clinical findings, and the planned treatment. It is not possible to give a blanket guarantee of coverage or a fixed reimbursement rate.
