NFZ
Insured patients can take advantage of free dental services guaranteed by the National Health Service. When coming for an appointment, you should bring your ID card and proof of insurance. However, it is important to remember that not all dental services are free, and if a non-reimbursed procedure is performed or the patient decides to have better quality material placed, he or she will have to pay for such a service.
In adults, the NHF reimburses:
- Chemically cured fillings in anterior teeth (i.e., from 3 to 3) - upper and lower,
- Amalgam fillings in all other teeth,
- Root canal treatment of anterior teeth (i.e., from 3 to 3) both upper and lower,
- Removal of tartar (scaling) - once a year,
- minor surgical procedures,
- x-rays - in conjunction with the treatment service.
In children and adolescents under 18 years of age, reimbursement is available:
- Light-cured fillings in anterior teeth (from 3 to 3) - upper and lower,
- Amalgam fillings in remaining teeth,
- root canal treatment of all teeth.
In pregnant and postpartum women
In addition to the standard benefits, pregnant and postpartum women are also reimbursed for root canal treatment of all teeth.
Prosthetics
Of the prosthetic works reimbursed by the National Health Fund, only acrylic dentures are settling with a minimum of 5 missing teeth. All kinds of crowns, bridges, skeletal dentures and other works are fully paid.
When choosing services reimbursed by the National Health Service, there is no possibility of partial payment for a different type of filling. If a patient chooses to have a filling made of a material other than the guaranteed one, he or she will have to pay for it according to the price list of commercial services.
The decision to opt for National Health Insurance treatment can be made immediately before the visit.
