Simply and clearly explained
The crown — a protective helmet for your tooth
When a tooth is severely damaged — for example by deep decay or after root canal treatment — a filling may no longer suffice. A crown encases the tooth like a protective cap, restoring its natural shape, colour and function.
The bridge — when a tooth is missing
When a tooth is missing, a gap forms. A bridge closes this gap by anchoring firmly to the neighbouring teeth. It looks like real teeth and fits so securely that you can eat and speak normally.
Severe decay: Your tooth is badly damaged and a filling is no longer enough
Root canal: Your tooth has had root canal treatment and needs extra protection
Gap: A tooth is missing and the gap needs to be closed
Aesthetics: You would like a more attractive tooth shape or colour
Step by step — so you know what to expect
Transparent and fair — how we calculate
Your statutory health insurance pays a fixed subsidy ("Festzuschuss") — regardless of which material you choose. You pay the remaining amount yourself.
The subsidy is at least 60% of the standard treatment. With a well-maintained bonus booklet it increases:
| Bonus booklet | Subsidy | Your contribution |
|---|---|---|
| Without / irregular | 60% | 40% |
| 5 years regular | 70% | 30% |
| 10 years regular | 75% | 25% |
If your monthly gross income is below €1,582 (single persons, 2026), your health insurance covers 100% of standard treatment. A higher subsidy may also be possible at slightly higher incomes. Please ask us — we are happy to help!
At FRYDENT, we value transparent and understandable costs.

How to make your prosthetic last
At least twice daily — brush especially thoroughly at the crown margin!
Use floss or interdental brushes daily. For bridges: use Superfloss!
Every 6 months for a check-up — this protects your teeth and maintains your bonus booklet!
1–2 times per year — keeps crown margins and gums healthy.
The anaesthetic lasts another 1–3 hours — be careful when eating to avoid biting yourself!
Slight pressure sensitivity in the first days is completely normal.
If the bite still feels "too high" after 2–3 days: Contact us — we adjust it quickly!
Avoid especially hard and sticky foods in the first week.
With good care, a high-quality crown can last 15–25 years or even longer. Regular check-ups and good oral hygiene are key to the longevity of your dental restoration.
