Dentist Nuremberg St. Peter
Crowns, Bridges & Dentures
Crowns, bridges, dentures or implant-supported teeth: we find the solution that suits your teeth, your everyday life and your budget.
Whether a tooth is badly damaged, a gap has appeared or several teeth are missing: replacement teeth restore chewing, speech and appearance. Which solution is right depends on the findings, your wishes and your budget. We explain all the options – from the insurance-standard solution to high-quality all-ceramics.
Fixed restorations are crowns, bridges and implant crowns; removable ones are partial and full dentures, and combined restorations join both. German statutory insurance pays a finding-based fixed subsidy, which increases with a complete bonus booklet.
The main types of restoration
| Restoration | When useful? | Special feature |
|---|---|---|
| Partial crown / crown | badly damaged or root-treated tooth | at our practice with CAD/CAM after a digital scan |
| Bridge | gap with strong neighbouring teeth | neighbouring teeth are ground down |
| Implant crown | single gap, healthy neighbouring teeth | no grinding, the bone stays under load |
| Partial / telescopic denture | several missing teeth | removable, easy to clean |
| Full denture | no teeth in the jaw | much better hold with implants |

Costs: fixed subsidy and bonus booklet
Patients with German statutory insurance receive a fixed subsidy of 60% of the costs of the so-called standard treatment. With regular check-ups (documented in the bonus booklet) it increases to 70% after five years and 75% after ten years. For people on a low income, a hardship provision may apply. If you choose a higher-quality solution, the subsidy stays the same – you pay the difference. More: Fixed subsidy and bonus booklet explained.
Bring your bonus booklet to every check-up – a complete record can make a difference of several hundred euros for restorations.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a crown last?
Well-maintained crowns often last 10 to 15 years and longer. Thorough cleaning at the crown margin and regular check-ups are important.
What is the standard treatment (Regelversorgung)?
The standard treatment is the solution defined by the health insurers for a particular finding. The fixed subsidy is based on it – whichever restoration you choose.
Will I get a temporary restoration while it is being made?
Yes. Until the restoration is ready, we provide you with a temporary one.
