How does dental treatment work?
Dental treatment starts with a thorough examination of your teeth and gums, followed by a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs.
During your first visit, our dentist carefully assesses your oral health and discusses any concerns or wishes you may have. If necessary, we take digital X-rays or scans to gain a complete overview of your teeth and jaw. Based on this assessment, we clearly explain the recommended treatment options, the expected results and associated costs.
If treatment is required, we ensure it is carried out comfortably and efficiently, using modern techniques and high-quality materials. For more complex cases, multiple appointments may be needed to achieve the best long-term result.
Throughout the entire process, we prioritise clear communication, comfort, and precision — so you always feel informed, reassured, and confident about your dental care.
The Process of Dental Treatment
Every dentist treatment at Tandartspraktijk de ZuidAs follows a clear and structured approach to ensure comfort, safety, and long-lasting results.
Step 1: Initial consultation
We begin with a thorough examination of your teeth and gums. During this appointment, we discuss your concerns, wishes, and overall oral health. If necessary, we take digital X-rays or scans to gain a complete overview.
Step 2: Personalised treatment plan
Based on the examination, we create a tailored treatment plan. We explain the recommended procedure, possible alternatives, expected results, duration, and costs — so you can make a well-informed decision.
Step 3: Preparation
If treatment is required, we carefully prepare the affected tooth or area. This may include cleaning, removing decay, reshaping a tooth, or preparing the area for restoration. Local anaesthesia is used when needed to ensure a comfortable experience.
Step 4: Treatment procedure
The planned dental treatment is performed using modern techniques and high-quality materials. Depending on the type of treatment, this may be completed in one appointment or require multiple visits.
Step 5: Temporary solution (if applicable)
For treatments such as crowns or bridges, a temporary restoration may be placed to protect your tooth while the final restoration is being prepared.
Step 6: Placement of the final restoration
Once the final crown, bridge, veneer, or implant is ready, it is carefully placed. We check the fit, bite, and aesthetics to ensure optimal function and a natural appearance.
Step 7: Aftercare and follow-up
After treatment, we provide clear aftercare instructions to support proper healing and long-term results. During follow-up appointments, we check whether everything feels comfortable and functions as intended.
What does dental treatment cost?
The fee for an initial consultation ranges from €50 to €150 depending on your situation. The cost of dental treatment depends on the type of procedure and your individual treatment plan.
In the Netherlands, dental fees are standardised and set annually by the Dutch Healthcare Authority (NZa), which means prices are the same at every dental practice. The total cost of your treatment will depend on factors such as the complexity of the procedure, the materials used, and the number of appointments required.
| First consultation | from € 50 to € 150 |
| Consultation for a routine check-up | €28,51 |
| Taking and assessing a small X-ray
Per X-ray image | € 21 |

What are the advantages and disadvantages of dental treatment?
The main advantage of dental treatment is that it restores the function, appearance, and health of your teeth, helping you maintain a confident smile.
Advantages:
- Restores the natural shape, function, and appearance of your teeth
- Improves chewing comfort and speech
- Natural-looking results with colour and shape-matched results
- Durable and long-lasting when combined with good oral hygiene
- Helps prevent further wear, damage, or shifting of teeth
Disadvantages
- Some healthy tooth structure may need to be removed
- Treatments may require multiple appointments
- Certain procedures, like bridges, rely on the strength of adjacent teeth
What should you avoid eating after dental treatment?
After dental treatment, it’s important to avoid certain foods and drinks that could affect your teeth or restorations. The exact restrictions may vary depending on the type of treatment you received.
Common foods and drinks to avoid:
- Hard foods such as nuts, crusty bread, or raw vegetables
- Sticky products like chewing gum, toffees, or caramel
- Tough or chewy foods, for example, baguette, liquorice, or fibrous meat
- Very hot or very cold drinks immediately after treatment
- Chewing on the treated side during the first 24 hours

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Treatments
How often should I visit the dentist?
It’s recommended to visit the dentist for a check-up and professional cleaning every six months. Regular visits help detect dental problems early, prevent cavities and gum disease, and maintain a healthy, confident smile. Your dentist may suggest a different schedule based on your individual oral health needs.
What should I bring to my first dental appointment?
For your first appointment, please bring:
- A valid ID
- Your insurance information
- A list of current medications and relevant medical history
This helps your dentist provide safe and personalised care from the start.
What are the types of dental treatments?
Dental treatments are generally divided into four main categories:
- Preventive care – routine check-ups, teeth cleaning, oral hygiene instruction, and children’s dentistry
- Restorative treatments – fillings, crowns, bridges, root canals, and dental implants
- Cosmetic treatments – veneers, teeth whitening, Invisalign clear aligners, and aesthetic fillings
- Specialised care – treatment for dental anxiety, advanced restorative solutions, and personalised plans for complex cases

Will my dental treatment be covered by insurance?
Coverage depends on your health insurance and whether you have supplementary dental coverage. Basic Dutch insurance usually does not cover adult dental treatments, but additional plans often reimburse part of the costs for procedures such as fillings, crowns, or orthodontics. Always check with your insurer before treatment to avoid unexpected expenses.
Can I get emergency dental care if I have pain outside normal hours?
Yes. Emergency dental services in the Netherlands provide urgent care for pain, trauma, or sudden dental problems, even outside regular office hours. If you experience severe tooth pain, swelling, or a dental injury, contact us immediately.
Do I need to register with the practice before treatment?
Yes. This ensures that your medical and dental records are complete, allowing the dentist to provide safe, continuous, and personalised care.
