Find a dental clinic in Achern
Achern is a mid-sized town of roughly 25,000 residents in the Ortenaukreis district of Baden-Württemberg, set between the Rhine plain and the northern Black Forest. PillsCard lists six verified dental practices serving the town itself and the surrounding villages of Sasbach, Kappelrodeck, Renchen and the wider Achertal valley. Patients are predominantly local residents and commuters working in Offenburg or across the border in Strasbourg, along with a steady seasonal flow of spa visitors heading to Bad Peterstal-Griesbach. Practices cluster around the Hauptstraße and the area near the Achern Stadtbahnhof, with a smaller secondary cluster along Allerheiligenstraße. Because the town is compact, most residents reach a dentist within a ten-minute drive, and waiting times for routine appointments tend to be shorter than in nearby Offenburg.
The market is fragmented and owner-operated rather than chain-dominated, which is typical for the Ortenau region. Long-established single-practitioner practices such as Zahnärztliche Praxis Dr. Schöntag and the practice of Dr. Karla Schuster work alongside the group practice Kurz/Kortlang/Luz, one of the larger multi-dentist outfits in town. Antje Blüthner Praxis für Zahnmedizin and Dr. med. dent. Mehran Vafi round out the general-practice tier, while Dipl. Stomat. Norbert Jank reflects the older East-German stomatology training tradition still represented in the region. None of the practices are formally affiliated with the Ortenau Klinikum Achern hospital, which lacks a dedicated maxillofacial unit; complex oral surgery and implantology referrals typically go to Offenburg or Freiburg.
Pricing & coverage
Routine check-ups and scaling under GKV statutory cover are largely paid by the insurer, with patients facing little or no co-payment when the annual Bonusheft is maintained. Out-of-pocket prices for private patients or for upgraded materials run roughly €– for a check-up, €– for professional cleaning, €– for a composite filling depending on size, and €– for a single ceramic crown. Implants typically range €– per tooth including the crown. GKV covers a fixed subsidy (Festzuschuss) for prosthetics; PKV and Zahnzusatzversicherung policies usually reimburse a higher share. Dental materials and devices are regulated nationally by
