Employer-provided dental care: a tax-free and tax-deductible benefit
The employer will reimburse dental expenses for employees up to a pre-agreed amount in euros per year. The benefit is tax-free for the employee and deductible for the company.
- A care contract may cover all or only part of the staff
- Payments can easily be made, for example, through a jobseeker's allowance service (such as Edenred or Epassi) or by reimbursing expenses. It is also possible to invoice the employer directly, but in this case, unfortunately, Kela reimbursements cannot be deducted directly.
- Our occupational health customers also receive the same discounts mentioned above as employees who pay for their dental care themselves.
We have dozens of satisfied business customers and we would like to offer your workplace the opportunity to benefit from our business membership and benefits.
Teeth properly have a direct connection to the general health of a person. Regular dental care avoids sudden and lengthy treatments and e.g. the risk of sick leave is reduced. In addition, dental care is an employee benefit that employees will surely appreciate.

Occupational Dental Care – Frequently Asked Questions
Under the expense reimbursement model, which is particularly popular among small and medium-sized businesses, occupational dental care works as follows:
1) The company decides to provide dental care to its employees up to a certain amount per year.
2) The company enters into a dental care agreement with a private service provider and adds (or asks its primary occupational health care partner to add) a reference to the provision of dental care to its occupational health care action plan.
3) The employee pays for the dental care services they receive either (i) with a company card or (ii) out of pocket and then claims reimbursement for the cost of the medical care from their employer. At this stage, we deduct Kela reimbursements and any discounts from the total amount.
4) If an employee paid with their own payment method, the employer will reimburse the employee up to a pre-agreed annual limit. When paying with a company card, it is sufficient to submit the receipt to the accounting department.
Under the consolidated billing model, treatment is covered “at the company’s expense,” and the company is billed for the services used no more than once a month. The company may apply for Kela reimbursements for the treatment retroactively, if it so chooses.
Good dental health is directly linked to a person’s overall health, and for that reason alone, it’s worth taking care of your teeth. Regular dental care also helps you avoid sudden and lengthy treatments and, for example, reduces the risk of sick leave. In addition, dental care is widely valued as an employee benefit and can serve as a recruitment advantage, especially when seeking top international talent.
Dental care is a completely tax-free benefit for employees, just like, for example, exercise vouchers, provided that the dental care offered by the company is reasonable, equitable, and systematic. From the company’s perspective, this is a tax-deductible expense. The prerequisites for this are an occupational health dental care agreement with the service provider and the inclusion of dental care in the company’s occupational health action plan.
Alternatively, dental care benefits can be provided through a benefits service (e.g., Epassi, Edenred). In that case, however, the service fees eat into part of the tax benefit.
Municipal services are more affordable but much more limited. Access to care can also be delayed due to waiting lists. It’s also important to note that employees pay their copayments for municipal services out of their net income (i.e., after income taxes). At Ebeling, we focus on service, quality, and comprehensive care for our patients’ oral health. Both the company and its employees get their money’s worth.
Our three locations (Tikkurila, Kalasatama, Ruoholahti), all of which are easily accessible by public transportation, cover the majority of the Helsinki metropolitan area.
A workplace dental care agreement is also not exclusive; a company may have agreements with multiple dental clinics. We are part of the Hammaspaikat network, a nationwide network of independent local clinics . Together, we’re able to provide comprehensive services even to employers with a nationwide presence.

The three of us founding members understand better than anyone the realities of running a small business and the life of an entrepreneur. In a small business, everyone’s contribution is of paramount importance, and for a sole proprietor, the business simply won’t run if the entrepreneur isn’t healthy. That’s why our preventive services are particularly essential for small businesses and entrepreneurs. Quick access to care ensures that key personnel can return to productive work as soon as possible. The tax exemption for occupational dental care is, of course, also a significant benefit.
Our customers know us especially for our attentive service, and we’ve received a great deal of praise from patients with anxiety. Our Net Promoter Score (NPS) is as high as 98, which means that about 98% of our customers would recommend our services.
We use the latest equipment and treatment methods to ensure that your care is comfortable and pain-free. In addition, our treatments are designed to last for years to come, freeing you from the cycle of repeated repairs. For us, high-quality work and patient satisfaction are our top priorities!
Access to care is significantly faster and more convenient. We are not bound by the opening hours of the public healthcare system; instead, we are open on most weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
We have strived to make it as easy as possible to start using this benefit, especially for small business owners. The agreement often takes effect the same day or the next day.
