Published prices
What the flat fee includes
The Straumann or Nobel Biocare implant, its placement and the crown that goes on top. A single amount, from CHF 2647.–, instead of three separate lines.
3D imaging: CHF 394.–
The CB-CT assesses the bone and is used to plan the placement. It is carried out on site, which saves an appointment and an invoice at another centre.
When a graft is needed
If the bone volume is not sufficient, a graft comes before the placement and is added to the amount. This is the most frequent reason for a difference from the base price.
The quote before starting
The number of implants, the materials and the laboratory change the total. The quote is given to you at the first consultation.
How to read an implant price in Switzerland
The point value. In Switzerland, each treatment is assessed according to an official scale expressed in points. The final price is the number of points multiplied by the point value applied by the practice. At our practice, the point is worth CHF 1.30 (reference: Dentotar tariff). This is the figure that explains why two practices show different amounts for the same procedure.
What makes the total vary. The number of implants, the condition of the bone, whether a bone graft or a prior extraction is needed, the material of the crown and the laboratory that makes it. A surgical extraction of a wisdom tooth, for example, costs from CHF 490.–.
Insurance. In Switzerland, basic insurance does not in principle cover dental treatment. Depending on your supplementary insurance or, in the event of an accident, your accident insurance, part of the cost may be covered: only your insurer can confirm this.
The quote. A detailed treatment plan and a personalised quote are given to you at the first consultation, before any treatment begins. The amounts above are those published on our prices page, not an estimate.
