Outsourced dental care service

A client may, for example, be referred to an outsourced service for follow-up treatment after receiving urgent care at one of Espoo’s own dental clinics. Outsourced services are available at certain designated private dental clinics. When you are granted an outsourced service, you will also receive a decision on which treatments are covered. The Western Uusimaa Wellbeing Services County is responsible for the competitive tendering of service providers and for concluding agreements with them. The Wellbeing Services County also decides which services are outsourced. Outsourced services are granted to clients within the limits of the budget allocated to the services. For clients, the price of dental care is the same as it would be at the dental clinics of the Western Uusimaa Wellbeing Services County.

Outsourced services are granted at the Wellbeing Services County’s own dental clinics in Espoo or via dental care customer service, tel. 029 151 2770 (Mon–Fri, 8.00–16.00).

You will receive your outsourced service number via text message or by post to your home address. The outsourced service is valid for six months from the date it is granted. The treatment must be completed within this time period.

When you are granted an outsourced service, you will also receive a decision on which treatments are covered.

1. Select a dental clinic that provides outsourced services. You can choose which one you want to attend. You can find the clinics’ details on this page.
2. Book an appointment. You can contact the clinic for information on the availability of appointments. When booking your appointment, provide your outsourced service number and tell the staff that you are a client of Espoo’s outsourced services. 
3. Visit the clinic for treatment in accordance with your treatment plan.
4. Pay for your treatment with the invoice sent by the Western Uusimaa Wellbeing Services County.

The final price of your treatment depends on the procedures you need. The cost of treatment is the same as it would be at the public dental clinics of the Western Uusimaa Wellbeing Services County. The Western Uusimaa Wellbeing Services County will send you an invoice for the treatment you received at the private clinic as an outsourced service.
