Dental implant costs – prices and possible reimbursement
Dental implants are among the most modern solutions to permanently replace missing teeth. They offer a stable and aesthetic alternative to classic prosthetics. At the same time, higher costs can arise because statutory health insurance usually covers only part of the treatment.
Information
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant replaces the natural tooth root and is anchored firmly in the jawbone. A crown or another form of prosthetic is then attached to the implant.
This enables a stable solution that closely resembles a natural tooth in appearance and function.

How much does a dental implant cost?
The cost of a dental implant can vary greatly depending on treatment. Key factors include:
- number of implants
- materials used
- treatment effort
- additional measures such as bone grafting
In many cases costs are several thousand euros per implant. The exact price depends on your individual situation and treatment plan.
Information
What does statutory health insurance cover?
Statutory health insurance usually pays only a fixed subsidy for dental prostheses based on standard care.
Because implants often go beyond this standard coverage, patients frequently have a remaining out-of-pocket share. Depending on treatment, this can amount to several thousand euros.
