A dental implant is an artificial tooth root. The implant is an anchoring element for a crown, bridge or prosthesis.

Before the implantation is planned, the treating dentist conducts a detailed consultation. Before the procedure, the surgical site in the jaw is locally anesthetized so that the patient does not feel any pain. The gums above the jawbone are first cut with a small incision. Then the implant hole is created with a drill. The implant is then firmly anchored in the implant hole. Finally, the gums are closed again with a suture.

The cost of an implant restoration depends - on the number of implants as well as the type of implant and the degree of difficulty of the procedure. If necessary, bone augmentation or additional surgical measures must also be paid for.

Good oral hygiene is a prerequisite for successful treatment with implants. Smoking should be given up if possible. Very thorough oral hygiene and disinfectant rinses prevent wound infection. Oral antibiotic therapy can be useful or even necessary under certain conditions. To ensure that the implant and the prosthetic structure (e.g. crown) do not cause any problems, regular checks should be carried out at the dentist. You should definitely have to wait with food and hot drinks until the effects of the anesthetic injection have subsided.

The implant has to heal in the bone for approx. 3 months and should not be stressed during this time. After healing, it is exposed through a small surgical procedure. Then the crown or denture can be attached.

If a tooth has to be removed, implantation is recommended after 6-12 weeks to ensure sufficient healing time.

Bleaching is a method of whitening natural teeth with a bleaching agent.

There is a so-called “office bleaching”, which is carried out directly in practice and “home bleaching”, which can be carried out at home using a splint.

Home bleaching is done at home using a splint into which the bleaching agent is placed.

Patients may observe increased sensitivity of the teeth after bleaching, but this can usually be remedied by fluoridation measures. According to current scientific knowledge, a negative impairment of the hard tooth substance is not to be expected, provided the application instructions are observed.

The teeth should be brushed before starting bleaching. We recommend professional tooth cleaning in advance.

There are a few things that should be considered, e.g. very heavily pigmented drinks such as tea, coffee, red wine ... etc. should not be drunk immediately afterwards. There are precise instructions for the treatment of what has to be observed.

Such treatment can be considered for young adults into old age.

Periodontitis is a serious gum infection that damages the soft tissue and, without treatment, can destroy the bone that supports your teeth caused by bacterial deposits. The resulting gum pockets must be treated as quickly as possible to stop the inflammatory process. Depending on the severity of the disease, there are several therapeutic approaches that are used individually.

Generally speaking, health insurance covers most periodontal services, but there certain services that require private payment.

The effects of this disease can be very diverse, from painful swelling and reddening of the gums, gum retraction to tooth loss.

The diseased and deepened gum pockets are cleaned with various therapies with the aim of stopping the inflammatory process. See under treatment periodontitis.

It is done under anesthesia and is therefore not painful during treatment. There may then be a slight pain after the treatment.

No special preparation is required.

An amalgam filling should only be replaced if there are new traces of caries at the edge or if it is defective. If the filling is intact, there is no need to replace the filling.

In contrast to amalgam fillings, composite fillings are tooth-colored restorations, mercury-free, and stabilize with the tooth substance through a dentine-adhesive bond.

The tooth was irritated by the treatment, so slight pain may initially appear. However, toothache can be caused by many different things.

Not every filling is chargeable, it depends on the material and the filling. Tooth-colored fillings made of composite materials in the posterior region are associated with a patient's own share. The reason for this lies in a more complex process in which the material is brought into the tooth in a precisely coordinated manner using the layering process. The tooth must be specially conditioned in advance for this. Depending on the size of the filling, this own contribution can be between € 60 and € 120. Which filling is best suited is discussed with you before the treatment and also whether there are any costs.

We have not used amalgam for over 20 years. There are many alternatives and we will be happy to advise you which filling material is best for you.

For children and adolescents we offer individual teeth cleaning, a service provided by the health insurance companies. In some cases, e.g. there are additional private liquidations for children with multiband treatment. This will be clarified in advance.

The child should come for treatment with brushed teeth.

You can bring your own oral hygiene products to discuss whether they are right or should be replaced if necessary.

Oral hygiene is clearly explained and practiced with our young patients. We also remove stains and as a last step the teeth get fluoridated.

No, we take great care that your child feels comfortable at all times during the treatment.

The sealing of the first permanent molars in children is a standard service provided by health insurance companies and is free of charge for parents. If an extended sealing is necessary, there are additional costs for a small composite filling. Parents will also be informed about this in advance.

It is a very thorough teeth cleaning that is carried out by trained dental hygienists. The appointment lasts about 1 hour.

Professional teeth cleaning has become an integral part of keeping teeth and gums healthy over the past 20 years. It is decided individually how often it should be done annually. Usually twice a year.

Generally, it is not painful. But it also depends on the condition of the gums and teeth.

You are allowed to eat before the professional teeth cleaning. After treatment you should wait an hour before eating.

You should brush your teeth well before and after the appointment.
