Dental Fees, Insurance & Reimbursements
Dental Invoices
A dental invoice consists of the individual procedures performed during a treatment. Each procedure is listed with a specific code, and each code has a corresponding tariff. These tariffs may vary depending on the dental practice and treatment type.
Dental Insurance
You can insure yourself for dental care with many insurance providers in the Netherlands. When you are a patient at Leident, we ensure that invoices are sent directly to your insurance provider whenever possible. We cooperate with a wide range of insurance companies.

Supplementary Insurance for Adults Which Policy Suits You Best?
The basic health insurance offers little to no coverage for dental care for adults. The insurance policy that best suits you depends on your personal situation, particularly your financial ability to cover unexpected costs and your willingness to take risks.
We are unable to advise you on choosing an insurance policy. It is recommended that you consult your insurance advisor for detailed information regarding reimbursements and coverage.
Reimbursement for Dental Implants
Whether an implant treatment is reimbursed depends on several factors, such as the type of treatment and your insurance policy.
In most cases, implant treatments are not reimbursed through the basic insurance. Depending on your supplementary dental insurance, you may be eligible for partial reimbursement. Coverage differs per insurer and policy. Always consult your insurance provider in advance and request approval before treatment.
As with all rules, exceptions may apply.
You own Contribution?
Your own contribution may be partially reimbursed through supplementary insurance, depending on your policy.
Who Is Eligible for a Click Denture?
- Patients who have no natural teeth remaining in the upper and lower jaw
- Patients who cannot use a conventional denture due to jaw shape issues
- Patients with severe jawbone resorption after long-term denture use
- Cases where a well-made conventional denture does not resolve the problem
A click denture is supported by 2 (and in some cases 4 or 6) implants placed in the lower jaw. The denture is secured using push buttons or a bar system and can be easily removed and reattached by the patient. A new upper denture (without implants) is usually provided as well.
A full conventional denture is reimbursed at 75% through the basic insurance. You pay an own contribution of 25% and any applicable deductible.
Partial dentures are not covered by the basic insurance and must be paid for privately or through supplementary insurance.
