What basic insurance usually does not pay
Dental care is often covered less than people expect in Switzerland. PrimAI helps organise policy, estimates, invoices and insurer questions.
What basic insurance usually does not pay
In Switzerland, ordinary dental treatment is usually paid by the insured person. Exceptions can exist for serious illness, accidents or specific medical situations, but routine dental care should not be assumed to be reimbursed automatically.
Children and orthodontics
For children, dental insurance often becomes important when orthodontics appears. Dental cover can help, but conditions, waiting periods and timing matter. A policy arranged early is different from a new application after a large treatment plan already exists.

Insurance or savings budget?
Dental insurance is not automatically better than setting money aside. Compare yearly premium, expected reimbursements, limits, likely treatments and exclusions. PrimAI helps collect the documents that make this comparison real: estimates, invoices, insurer answers and current policy.
Documents to keep
Treatment plans, dentist estimates, invoices, receipts, reimbursement decisions and policy conditions should stay together. Otherwise it becomes difficult to understand whether the cover was useful or why a claim was rejected.
What the app adds
PrimAI does not sell dental insurance. The app helps you create a task: check the policy, attach an estimate, note the question for the insurer, keep the answer and prepare the next step without losing context.
Personal advice
