Dental implants
in Portugal, seen from Switzerland.

For people who live in Switzerland

In Switzerland, the LAMal, the compulsory basic health insurance, does not cover dental care in practice: an implant is paid for in full by the person treated, and no insurer reads the invoice. That is what makes the comparison with Portugal so direct, and it is where almost all the questions gathered here begin: what it costs, how many trips are needed, and how to check the practice and the dentist before booking. Each question has its own page, answered with what is written down and can be checked. Treatment is carried out by the Instituto AreLuna, in Porto, where every case goes through a prior individual assessment and diagnosis before any plan exists.

The amounts shown are starting points. Treatment and the quotation depend on a prior individual examination and diagnosis, at the consultation with a 3D X-ray.
