Services funded by TLK

Funding for dentures

The Pilėnė Dental Clinic has concluded agreements with the Territorial Patient Funds (TLK) for dentures. These services are reimbursed from the PSDF budget, based on the actual cost of the dentures, once the dentures have been fully completed.

How do I get reimbursement for dentures?

If you are considering dentures, you may be able to take advantage of state funding. All you have to do is visit a clinic where the process is carried out in a few simple steps.

• During your visit, we will assess, free of charge, whether you are entitled to TLK compensation for dentures.
• We will prepare all the necessary documents.
• Once reimbursement is received, we will start planning treatment immediately.
• You will avoid long queues and will not have to pay for the service yourself.

Retired, incapacitated or partially able-bodied:

• who have fewer than 10 pairs of functionally complete contacting natural or quality prosthetic antagonistic teeth from the first molar to the other side of the first molar – up to EUR 670.39;
• diagnosed with more than grade II pathological wear of all teeth (more than 1/3 of the crown height) – up to EUR 670.39;
• whose edentulous mandible in the area of teeth 4, 5, 6 is less than 12 mm high – up to EUR 2,062.70 (determined by the consilium).

Children (up to 18 years):

• whose masticatory system is still developing, are fitted with temporary dentures made of polymers polymerised in a laboratory or in a dental surgery, or standard protective metal crowns – up to EUR 342.13;
• whose masticatory system is substantially developed and are fitted with dentures made of durable construction materials – up to EUR 2 062.70 (determined by the consilium).

People who have received treatment for oral and maxillofacial oncology:

•  after specific (radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy) treatment, there are fewer than 10 functionally complete pairs of contacting natural or quality prosthetic antagonistic teeth in the oral cavity from the first molar to the first molar on the other side of the first molar – up to EUR 670.39;
•  oral, maxillofacial surgery with soft tissue removal and/or bone resection of the jaw area – up to €2,062.70 (determined by the consilium).

If the actual cost of the dentures was more than the reimbursement amount, the person has to pay the rest.

Treatment institutions that have concluded agreements with the National Health Insurance Fund (TLK) for the provision of reimbursable prosthetic dental services are obliged and obliged to inform persons about the prosthetic dental services they provide, the procedure for reimbursement from the budget of the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) and the possibilities of reimbursement.

Adults can be re-enrolled no earlier than 3 years after the date of reimbursement for dentures. In other words, 3 years after the date on which they received reimbursement for their own prosthetic teeth or when they finished their prosthetic teeth after the waiting list.
