Fictional profile · A longer gum-care journey

Max, 54. An overview to revisit calmly.

Max has noticed bleeding gums and less fresh breath for years. In this fictional scenario, a broader gum-care route is discussed. The plan makes room for research, initial care, a surgical phase and later follow-up instead of presenting one intimidating total.

Fictional cost example

A fictional journey, broken into clear stages.

Each block is a fictional worked example for this profile — never a standard treatment or a real patient invoice. Every amount is a Dutch NZa maximum tariff for 2026; a treatment plan always needs to be discussed with the practice.
