Dentists are able to determine prices themselves, resulting in the differing costs. Procedures are most expensive in the capital region, in part due to the higher rent costs.
The Social Insurance Institution of Finland (KELA) will reimburse 60 percent of the cost for certain private dental care procedures. Thousands of people use private dental care to avoid the often long wait for a public dentist.
The information is based on a poll by the Finnish News Agency. Fifteen dental clinics took part in the poll.
