Supplementary dental insurance Switzerland
When emigrating to Switzerland, you should be aware that dental costs are not covered by Swiss basic insurance. If you want to emigrate to Switzerland, you can avoid high out-of-pocket costs and protect yourself sensibly with suitable supplementary dental insurance. It is important that you take out the insurance before you move - only then will it be valid in Switzerland. It is best to contact us 1-2 months before your move so that we can organise everything for you in good time.

Supplementary dental insurance in Germany 🇩🇪
Are you planning to move to Switzerland but are unsure what to do with your existing supplementary dental insurance in Germany or how to take out a new one in Switzerland?
There are two types of supplementary dental insurance in Germany: statutory and private. Both are designed to reduce the cost of dental treatment that is not covered by statutory health insurance (SHI).
Statutory supplementary dental insurance
SHI covers basic dental services, but not all, such as expensive dentures. Supplementary SHI insurance reduces the cost of such treatments and is paid in addition to the SHI contribution.
Private supplementary dental insurance
Private supplementary dental insurance, independent of statutory health insurance, often offers more comprehensive benefits. Tariffs can cover dentures, prophylaxis and more. The premiums vary depending on the age and health of the insured person. They can also be taken out without statutory health insurance.
If you are considering moving from Germany to Switzerland and have supplementary dental insurance in Germany, the question arises as to whether this insurance will remain valid in Switzerland.
As a rule, German supplementary dental insurance policies are tailored to the German healthcare system and the conditions there. Moving to Switzerland means that you will find yourself in a different healthcare system with different rules and cost structures.
Supplementary dental insurance in Switzerland
Emigrating to Switzerland: Switzerland has an independent healthcare system that differs from Germany, which can pose challenges for emigrants when it comes to supplementary dental insurance. German supplementary dental insurance policies are not automatically valid in Switzerland.
Supplementary dental insurance is important in Switzerland, as dental treatment is noticeably more expensive here than in Germany. Without suitable supplementary dental insurance, expatriates may find it difficult to cover the high costs of dental treatment, especially for extensive procedures.
