6 concrete strategies<\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Keep a bonus booklet<\/h3>\n\n<p>A fully maintained bonus booklet can increase the <strong>fixed subsidy of the health insurance company by up to 30%.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Compare treatment and cost plan (ICP)<\/h3>\n\n<p>Request an ICP from your dentist and get an <strong>alternative quote<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Dentures from abroad (with German quality)<\/h3>\n\n<p>Reputable suppliers have dentures manufactured in certified laboratories abroad \u2013 with <strong>CE marking, warranty certificate and German quality testing<\/strong>. Savings: <strong>up to 80%.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Compare lab costs<\/h3>\n\n<p>Laboratories differ enormously. Ask your dentist whether a cheaper laboratory is an option \u2013 legally, this is not a problem. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Make a targeted choice of material<\/h3>\n\n<p>Zirconium instead of all-ceramic, or non-precious metal instead of gold \u2013 the same function, much cheaper.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Supplementary dental insurance<\/h3>\n\n<p>If taken out early, it can cover large parts of the costs.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does the health insurance company really pay?<\/h2>\n\n<p>The GKV pays a <strong>fixed subsidy<\/strong> for standard care:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>With bonus booklet (10 years): up to <strong>75% subsidy<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Desired care (e.g. implant): <strong>Pay additional costs yourself<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Subsidy remains the same \u2013 regardless of whether it is a cheap or expensive laboratory<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Metal crown (standard supply): 500 \u20ac \u2192 subsidy 250 \u20ac<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ceramic crown (\u20ac1,200): also only \u20ac250 subsidy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Comparing providers: What should you pay attention to?<\/h2>\n\n<p><strong>Checklist for reputable providers:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u2705 CE certification of materials<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2705 ISO or T\u00dcV certified laboratory<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2705 At least 2 years warranty (better: 3-4 years)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2705 Traceable branded products  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><strong>Examples (alphabetically, without rating):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Audentic AG<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dentaltrade<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dental prosthesis direct<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>AllDent<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion: Cheap dentures are possible \u2013 you just have to inform yourself<\/h2>\n\n<p>If you inform yourself, compare yourself and ask specific questions, you can <strong>save several hundred to thousands of euros<\/strong>.
