Your TK insurance covers various dental fillings. The costs are billed directly to us by the dental practice via your eHealth card.
More details
Amalgam fillings:
- Since 1 January 2025 dental amalgam may not be used for new fillings. Your dental practice must offer you a free alternative. The dental practice decides which alternative material to use.
Composite fillings:
- Self-adhesive (self-adhering) materials used in the posterior region are covered by contract dental care. This means TK covers the costs of these materials.
- The costs of more expensive materials are also covered for anterior teeth. These include the incisors and canines in the upper and lower jaws.
Glass ionomer cement/compomers:
- The costs of these materials are also covered by TK.
Inlays:
- These costs are covered up to the amount charged for a filling by a contract dentist.
Important information
Additional costs: If you opt for another kind of filling or a more expensive material, you will have to pay the additional costs yourself. Your dentist will let you know how much you have to pay. You will be required to sign a written agreement on the additional costs before the treatment begins.
Replacements of intact fillings: These costs are not covered by TK. This means if your filling is still intact, you have to pay for the replacement yourself.
Private invoices: You may only submit a private invoice if you have opted for cost reimbursement . Otherwise, the practice will invoice us via your eHealth card. Please note that this information is currently only available in German.
