Finding a dentist for prostheses near you
Almost every dental practice does prostheses. What matters is the focus.
The radius search finds dental practices; enter prostheses as the focus. Enter a postcode or a place and choose how far you would be willing to travel.
A word about ourselves: This directory is currently being built up. We would rather say so than show an empty list without an explanation. If you do not find anything here yet, that is down to us and not to your region.
How far is reasonable
A prosthetic restoration needs several appointments over a few weeks, plus check-ups later and occasionally some reworking. A journey of 20 to 30 minutes is regarded as usual. With a denture that has to be reworked, being close by is worth more than with a single crown.
How to recognise a suitable practice
A declared focus of activity on prostheses or prosthetic dentistry. Its own dental laboratory or one closely attached – short distances mean faster reworking. A consultation in which alternatives to the proposed restoration are also discussed. And a written treatment and cost planin which the fixed allowance and your own share are shown separately.
What this directory is not
Not a recommendation and not a rating. The practices enter themselves and maintain their details on their own responsibility. We check the admission, not the scope of individual treatments.
The most important points at a glance
- Almost every dental practice treats patients with prostheses – but the focus of their work differs considerably.
- Its own dental laboratory, or one closely attached, shortens the distances for try-ins and reworking.
- Reckon with several appointments over a few weeks; with dentures reworking is added.
- Before the decision, a written treatment and cost plan belongs on the table, with the own share shown separately.
- With larger work a second opinion is usual and is not understood as mistrust by reputable practices.

Frequently asked questions
Through the local search on zahnersatz-berater.de: enter a postcode or town and choose a radius. It shows practices that have listed themselves in this directory and state dental prostheses as a focus.
Dental prostheses are part of general dentistry – every practice may and can offer them. For demanding work such as telescopic dentures or implant-borne prostheses it is worth asking about experience and focus.
The examination and the drawing up of the treatment and cost plan are covered by statutory health insurance. For the consultation itself you normally incur no additional cost.
Yes, at any time and without giving a reason. Take the treatment and cost plan and current X-rays with you. The examination there is also covered by insurance.
No. The Zahnersatz-Berater keeps a directory and is not involved in the treatment. You arrange the appointment directly with the practice.
