Coral Dental aims to be an accessible and future-oriented group practice where patients can receive virtually all facets of oral care under one roof. Preventive and sustainable oral care forms the basis for this.
A key focus is children’s and adolescents’ oral care, with the prevention program Gewoon Gaaf, in collaboration with ZJCN and Public Health. This way, we guide children towards healthy teeth from an early age.

The rates within dental care are determined annually by the Nederlandse Zorgautoriteit (Dutch Healthcare Authority)(NZa) on behalf of the government. We apply these rates and use the Euro to USD exchange rate as determined annually by ZJCN. You can view the 2026 rates here.
A first appointment for an intake is always a comprehensive examination, often combined with X-rays. Please take into account approximately 75–130 USD. With this appointment, we can tailor any follow-up treatments (such as a dental cleaning) to your situation and inform you about the further costs.
