Outside our opening hours
The Dental Emergency Practice was founded in 2013 with the aim of improving the quality, costs and accessibility of emergency care. The practice can be reached by telephone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
In addition to the branch in Leiderdorp, the Emergency Dental Practice also has branches in Groningen, Zwolle (Isala), Amersfoort (MC Meander), Tiel (Ziekenhuis Rivierenland), Nijmegen (CWZ), Utrecht (St. Antonius), Amsterdam (OLVG, location East), The Hague (HMC Westeinde). If another location suits you better at that time, you can indicate your preference by telephone.
A number of things you should also take into account:
- When calling: always have your BSN number (or that of the person for whom you want to make an appointment) at hand, as well as the name of your own dental practice.
- Emergency dental practice needs this to schedule an appointment.
- You must bring a valid ID.
- You must pay for your consultation and/or emergency treatment at the Emergency Dental Practice immediately by debit card or credit card.
- The costs of emergency treatment are equal to the costs of regular dental treatment. These costs are determined by the NZa (Dutch Healthcare Authority) and are revised annually.
- Statutory surcharges may apply for evening, night, weekend services and during recognised public holidays.
- You will always receive an invoice from the Emergency Dental Practice.
- If you have additional dental insurance, you can submit your bill to your health insurer afterwards. For information about reimbursements from your additional insurance, you should consult your own health insurer.
- Children under the age of 18 who urgently need a dentist can have their costs partially or fully reimbursed from their basic insurance.
Finally:
After the treatment, the Emergency Dental Practice will email the treatment report and any X-rays to your dentist so that he or she can take over the treatment again.
Are you wondering whether there is an emergency or do you think that treatment can wait until the next working day? The emergency service can discuss this with you.
