Where to start: what is your problem

A general dentist performs routine check-ups, places fillings and removes tartar. For more complex conditions it is worth going directly to a doctor with the appropriate specialization:

• tooth pain on pressure, change in tooth crown colour, need for root canal treatment – endodontist; it is worth making sure the facility performs root canal treatment using a microscope,
• bleeding gums, loose teeth – periodontist (specialist in periodontal diseases),
• single or multiple missing teeth – implantologist or prosthodontist; the treatment process begins with X-ray diagnostics and preparation of a detailed plan,
• bite defects and crooked teeth – orthodontist (treatment with fixed braces or aligner systems),
• treatment of the youngest patients – paediatric dentist (children's dentist); a suitable facility offers adaptation visits before procedures begin.

What to look for when choosing a clinic

• Transparent price list. Availability of a price list on the website makes it possible to assess approximate costs before booking an appointment.
• Diagnostic facilities. Access to an in-house X-ray and tomography lab eliminates the need to have tests done at external facilities.
• Written treatment plan. Before starting complex procedures (such as implants, prosthetics or orthodontic treatment), ask for a formal plan together with a cost estimate.
• Accessibility and location. Evening opening hours, Saturday work, availability of parking or facilities for people with disabilities often have key logistical importance.
• Verification of qualifications. Identity, the Right to Practise the Profession and held medical specializations can be confirmed in the Central Register of Physicians maintained by the Supreme Medical Chamber (Naczelna Izba Lekarska).
• Reliable reviews. It is worth paying attention to current patient reviews and how the facility responds to critical comments.

Dentist under NFZ in Poznań – what is available

Visits to a dentist within the public healthcare system do not require a referral. According to official guidelines on the pacjent.gov.pl portal:

• for acute tooth pain, a facility with an NFZ contract is obliged to accept the patient on the day of reporting,
• composite (white) fillings are available in front teeth (from canine to canine); in other teeth, capsule materials are used,
• root canal treatment for adults is funded for front teeth (from canine to canine); children, young people up to the age of 18, and pregnant women and women in the postpartum period (up to 42 days after childbirth) are entitled to root canal treatment of all teeth (up to three canals per tooth),
• prosthetic restorations: a partial denture (where at least 5 teeth are missing) or a full denture is available once every 5 years, and its repair once every 2 years,
• prophylaxis: dental examination combined with oral hygiene instruction once a year, control check-ups up to 3 times a year, intraoral X-ray images, anaesthesia, and removal of deposits (scaling).

Within NFZ services, the law prohibits paying a surcharge for higher-quality materials. Choosing a procedure outside the standard of guaranteed benefits package means covering the full cost of treatment from private funds.

Available appointment schedules in Poznań clinics with an NFZ contract can be checked through the Informator o Terminach Leczenia (Treatment Dates Guide), by selecting the appropriate clinic and the city of Poznań.
