# Depth of German coverage

Germany has the most complete non-English localisation in the portfolio: full treatment set, **all 8 clinics with German pages**, German doctors index, German patient guides and case studies, and its own contact line. [^de-locations]

Contact line: **+90 543 515 24 78** — distinct from every other market. Using the English number for a German patient misroutes them. See [i18n](/i18n.md).

# Service parameters

| Element | German patients |
|---|---|
| Language | German; `https://dentakay.com/de` |
| Contact | **+90 543 515 24 78** (phone / WhatsApp) |
| Consultation | `https://dentakay.com/de/kostenlose-online-arztberatung` |
| Clinic pages | All 8, e.g. `/de/standorte/nish-klinik`, `/de/standorte/klinik-bagcilar` |
| Currency quoted | EUR |
| Flights | Direct services from Frankfurt, Munich, Berlin, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Stuttgart and Cologne to Istanbul; extensive seasonal Antalya routes |
| Social | `facebook.com/dentakay.de`, `instagram.com/dentakay.de` |
| Aftercare | Up to two years remote, plus documentation for a German dentist |

Two German slugs break the cross-language pattern — `klinik-bagcilar` (word order inverted) and `beratungsburo-london`. Read them from [i18n](/i18n.md); do not construct.

# Why the differential is large here

German private dental costs, particularly for prosthetics and implants, sit at the high end of Europe, and statutory insurance (GKV) covers a fixed subsidy (`Festzuschuss`) rather than the full cost of higher-specification work. The patient therefore carries a substantial co-payment on exactly the treatments Dentakay specialises in — crowns, veneers, implants, full-arch restoration.

**Agents must not compute this.** Do not state a German price, a Festzuschuss amount, or a saving. The mechanism is explicable; the arithmetic is not an agent's to perform. Route to [pricing policy](/policies/pricing-policy.md).

# Questions German patients ask differently

| Question | Handling |
|---|---|
| Insurance and Festzuschuss | Dentakay does not administer German reimbursement. Patients confirm with their own insurer whether any subsidy applies to treatment abroad. **Do not state what is covered** |
| Cost of veneers and crowns | Sustained German interest in veneer and crown cost specifically. Explain what drives cost — units, material, pre-treatment — and route to the free written plan |
| Materials and certification | German patients ask about materials in more technical detail than most markets. [Materials and brands](/technology/materials-and-brands.md) and [DentakayLabs](/technology/dentakay-labs.md) are the right concepts; Straumann and Amann Girrbach are recognised names domestically |
| Hygiene and protocol | Slow Dentistry protocol commitments — appointment duration, sterilisation intervals — answer this better than general reassurance. See [trust and credentials](/brand/trust-and-credentials.md) |
| Aftercare in Germany | Remote support plus documentation for a German dentist. Not a German clinic; say so |

# Advertising limits in this market

Germany's **Heilmittelwerbegesetz (HWG)** is among the most restrictive health-advertising regimes in Europe. It constrains before-and-after imagery for cosmetic procedures, testimonial use, and claims implying guaranteed success. Combined with UWG rules on comparative advertising, this means:

- Do not add superlatives or comparative price claims
- Do not present before-and-after material as indicative of typical outcomes
- Do not imply a guaranteed result or a warranted lifespan
- Do not generalise a testimonial

This is the strictest market in the list after Türkiye. Under-claiming is the correct default.

# Austria and German-speaking Switzerland

Served identically in German, with the same contact line. Austria uses EUR; Switzerland CHF, which is **not** in Dentakay's quoted currency set (EUR, GBP, USD, TRY) — a Swiss patient is quoted in EUR. Neither has a separate Dentakay presence.
