English Speaking Dentist in Amsterdam

English Speaking Dentist in Amsterdam

Moving to the Netherlands is exciting, but finding a dentist who truly understands you — in your own language — can feel like one task too many. At AltaDent Clinic, we make it easy. Our team speaks English fluently, along with Dutch, Spanish, and Turkish. Whether you just arrived in Amsterdam or have been here for years, you will always be understood, welcomed, and well cared for.

We know that navigating the Dutch healthcare system can be confusing, especially when it comes to dental insurance. That is exactly why we have built a practice that removes barriers. No language struggles at reception. No surprises on your invoice. Just honest, high-quality dental care from a team with over 17 years of experience and more than 4,497 treatments completed.

Complete Dental Care Under One Roof

AltaDent is not just a general dental practice — we are a full-service clinic with specialist treatments and our own on-site dental laboratory. That means faster results, better quality control, and lower costs for you.

General Dentistry

Regular check-ups, professional cleanings, fillings, and preventive care form the foundation of a healthy smile. We recommend a check-up every six months, which is covered by most Dutch basic insurance plans.

Specialist Treatments

• Dental implants — Permanent tooth replacement starting from EUR 1,450, crafted in our own lab
• Dentures — Full and partial dentures, custom-made on-site in just three appointments
• Snap-on dentures (klikgebit) — Implant-retained dentures for a secure, comfortable fit
• Crowns and bridges — Natural-looking restorations made with precision in our laboratory
• Emergency dental care — Same-day denture repairs and urgent treatments

Because we have our own dental laboratory on the premises, we control every step of the process. There is no waiting weeks for a crown or denture to come back from an external lab. Many treatments are completed faster and at a lower cost than you might expect.

Understanding Dutch Dental Insurance

In the Netherlands, everyone is required to have basic health insurance (basisverzekering). This covers standard dental check-ups and basic treatments for adults, though coverage varies by insurer. For more extensive treatments such as crowns, implants, or dentures, you will need supplementary dental insurance (aanvullende tandartsverzekering).

The good news: AltaDent is contracted with every Dutch health insurance company. This means your insurer pays us directly — no out-of-pocket claims, no paperwork headaches. If you are not sure what your policy covers, our front desk team will happily check for you before any treatment begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a referral to register at AltaDent?

No. In the Netherlands, you can register directly with any dental practice. Simply call us, send a WhatsApp message, or fill in the online booking form. We will take care of the rest, including contacting your previous dentist for your records if needed.

Is my dental check-up covered by insurance?

Most basic Dutch insurance plans cover one or two dental check-ups per year. If you have supplementary dental insurance, additional treatments such as fillings, crowns, and dentures may also be covered. We always verify your coverage before starting treatment.

What if I do not have Dutch insurance yet?

You are still welcome. We treat all patients, insured or not. For uninsured patients, we offer transparent private rates and can provide a cost estimate before any treatment. Once you do obtain insurance, we will handle the transition smoothly.

Can I book an appointment in English?

Absolutely. From your first phone call to your final check-up, everything can be done in English. Our reception staff, dentists, and lab technicians are all comfortable communicating in English.

How much does a dental implant cost at AltaDent?

A complete dental implant with crown costs EUR 1,450 all-in. This includes the titanium implant, abutment, ceramic crown, 3D X-ray scan and all follow-up appointments — no hidden costs. Compared to prices in the UK, USA or other Western countries, this is a significant saving.

Can you repair my broken denture the same day?

In most cases, yes. Because we have our own in-house laboratory, we can repair broken or ill-fitting dentures much faster than practices that outsource their lab work. Call ahead so we can prepare for your visit.

How quickly can I get an appointment?

We have no waiting lists. New patients can typically book a first consultation within a few days. For emergencies, call us directly on +31 20 619 54 82 — we aim to help you the same day.
