NEW DENTAL CARE REFORM 2026

Senior Dental Care - Reduced costs for those 67+

From January 1, 2026, Sweden introduces a major dental reform: Senior Dental Care (Tiotandvård). If you are 67 or older, you pay only 10% of the reference price for many treatments. Swedish Dental Group in Stockholm is ready to welcome you.

The reform means you pay 10% of the reference price (or our lower price if applicable) for included treatments – the state covers the remaining 90%.

What is Senior Dental Care?

Senior Dental Care (also called Tiotandvård) is the new reform providing a strengthened high-cost protection for dental care to all Swedes aged 67 and older. You pay 10% of the reference price for treatments included.

The name 'Tiotandvård' refers to the patient paying ten percent of the reference price. The reform aims to improve oral health and quality of life for seniors, as good oral health is linked to overall health.
