Are the costs of aftercare included in the treatment?

Aftercare is an essential part of successful gum or implant treatment. Even so, the costs are usually not included in the initial treatment. Each check-up, cleaning or instruction session is billed separately according to the applicable rates. Sometimes there is an aftercare package or treatment programme that includes several check-ups. Your clinician will explain this beforehand in the cost estimate. Long-term programmes such as periodontal aftercare require periodic visits. These may be partly reimbursed through supplementary dental insurance. Feel free to ask for an overview of the expected costs. Transparency prevents surprises afterwards. Good aftercare prevents higher costs in the long run by limiting relapse.
