Does the fund pay anything if the implant is placed in Portugal?

The Festzuschuss is a fixed amount, not a percentage of the invoice. This is where most people miscalculate. Anyone who expects the fund to take over a share of the Portuguese amount is calculating wrongly — in both directions. Which restoration is suitable at all depends on a prior individual examination and diagnosis.

The Festzuschuss follows the finding, not what the invoice shows. It is the same amount whether the restoration is carried out in Germany or in Portugal. The lower the treatment amount, the larger the share of it the same contribution covers. That is the real calculating advantage, and it is one of the reasons this page exists at all. Which finding underlies it follows from a prior individual examination and diagnosis.

That the statutory fund contributes anything to a service provided abroad is not a matter of course. It is an advantage — and at the same time the reason to hold every statement on this page against the written reply of your own fund before it becomes the basis of a decision.

The documented source gives the Festzuschuss as around 632 € for a single implant and 550 € to 1 000 € for a restoration on four implants. It is a published overview of implant costs and the Festzuschuss, as at January 2026; the single figure given there is 632.42 €. Which amount applies in an individual case follows from the finding, that is, from a prior individual examination and diagnosis.

These amounts are not a commitment from your own fund. They are the order of magnitude one can calculate with as long as nothing more precise is available. What is actually approved follows from the finding and from the plan submitted to the fund — and the plan itself presupposes a prior individual examination and diagnosis.

Percentages, amounts and conditions of a statutory system change. The only source that counts on the day of decision is your own fund. No clinic page replaces its written reply.

It changes nothing about the entitlement to a prosthesis, according to the underlying directive. What changes is the route: the treatment plan — the Heil- und Kostenplan, the treatment and cost plan the fund must approve — has to be approved before the treatment. This is the condition this page does not qualify, because the whole contribution hangs on it.

The Instituto AreLuna prepares the detailed quote to be submitted for this. What your own fund asks for beyond that, in what form and by when, only the fund can answer. Anyone who clarifies this in writing before the first trip clarifies it once; anyone who clarifies it afterwards may clarify it too late.

This page deliberately names no reimbursement route and no time limits: no source that would support them is available here. What it names is the condition of prior approval — and the place at which to ask the rest.

At the Instituto AreLuna, the single implant starts from 600 €, a full restoration per jaw from 4 300 €. Both amounts are starting amounts and depend on a prior individual examination and diagnosis. The published reference for Germany lies between 1 600 € and 3 400 € for the single implant and between 9 000 € and 20 000 € per jaw.

Beside the treatment amount stand two trips, working days and overnight stays. Only that sum, less the contribution, is comparable with the German quote. Anything else is a comparison of tables, and tables are advertising on both sides.

The diagnostic consultation is booked by telephone, on +351 220 430 090. Dental care is provided by the Instituto AreLuna at Rua de Júlio Dinis, 194, 4050-327 Porto.
