It is impossible to establish a scale of reimbursements, since they depend on the mutual insurance company you choose and the contract you sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The choice of your complementary health insurance is therefore crucial. Today, everyone offers you insurance &#8211; apart from the professionals in the sector &#8211; your banker, your supermarket, online companies&#8230; However, beware of offers that are too tempting and be sure to read the fine print and the details that correspond to the many asterisks. They often begin with the fateful word &#8220;except&#8221;. If you are paying for a low-cost health insurance plan, you should expect to be reimbursed accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-medium\"><img width=\"300\" height=\"211\" src=\"https:\/\/nutrident.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/mutuelle-300x211.jpg\" alt=\"dental mutual\" class=\"wp-image-15886\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nutrident.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/mutuelle-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nutrident.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/mutuelle-768x540.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nutrident.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/mutuelle-254x179.jpg 254w, https:\/\/nutrident.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/mutuelle.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption>Having a good mutual insurance company is essential to complete the reimbursement of the Social Security.  <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>You must choose your mutual insurance company based on two criteria: the complement of the care partially reimbursed by the social security and the reimbursement of the expenses that it does not cover at all. This is why you will find in the insurance wordings reimbursements advertised with coverages exceeding 100%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Supplementary insurance comes after the social security reimbursement. In all cases, <strong>you should check with your insurer before deciding to seek treatment<\/strong> abroad. It is imperative that you verify that the care in question is covered by your contract. Forward the quote from the foreign clinic to your insurance company to be sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dental_tourism_Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span>Dental tourism : Frequently Asked Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3>How to choose a dental clinic abroad?  <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the criteria to consider, the training of the dentist, the brands of implants used and the reputation of the clinic (you can look at Google reviews for example) are probably the most important.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Is dental care abroad always of lower quality?  <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental care abroad is generally cheaper due to the socio-economic conditions of the countries (lower taxes, cheaper rents, lower salaries, etc.) but the quality is often not the same.
