§01Pricing & coverage

Routine check-ups and scaling under GKV are largely covered, with patient co-payments typically falling between €30 and €120 for professional cleaning (PZR), which is not a statutory benefit. Composite fillings on posterior teeth incur extra charges of roughly €40-€150 above the GKV rate. Single-tooth implants in Dusseldorf commonly range €1,800-€3,200 including the crown, and ceramic crowns €600-€1,100; both attract only a fixed subsidy (Festzuschuss) from statutory funds, leaving private top-ups. PKV holders are generally reimbursed against the GOZ fee schedule. Medical-device and material safety oversight sits with the BfArM; the Kassenzahnärztliche Vereinigung Nordrhein publishes regional fee guidance.

§02Emergencies & out-of-hours care

Outside surgery hours, Dusseldorf is covered by the zahnärztlicher Notdienst operated by the Zahnärztekammer Nordrhein, with a rotating duty practice published daily on the chamber's website and via the 01805 number used across NRW. Weekend walk-in surgeries typically run Saturday and Sunday late-morning to early afternoon. For trauma involving facial fractures, uncontrolled bleeding, or airway compromise, the Universitätsklinikum Düsseldorf in Bilk operates a 24-hour maxillofacial unit. Dial 112 for life-threatening situations including severe haemorrhage, swelling that affects breathing, or post-surgical collapse; the non-emergency medical line is 116 117.
