Examinations from the first milk tooth create trust and a bond, which enables the basis for a positive experience at the dentist. In addition to teeth and gums, we also examine the oral mucosa of the entire oral cavity in order to identify and treat unfavorable changes in good time.
Brushing your teeth is one of the first actions a child carries out independently, which serves to keep their own body healthy. We always try to motivate our patients and to support them in establishing healthy conditions in their oral cavity.
The top priority here is to keep all oral structures healthy.
This has a beneficial effect not only locally but also on the whole organism.
This reduces the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases such as stroke and heart attack.
After the tartar removal, which can be done with hand instruments or ultrasound devices, the teeth are polished. Depending on the sensitivity of the teeth and the wishes of the patient, this can also be done using a powder water jet device. As part of the treatment, oral hygiene at home is individually optimized.
Periodontitis, formerly also known as periodontal disease, is a bacterial inflammation of the teeth supporting structure.
The disease usually begins insidiously and, if left untreated, can lead to loss of bones and thus from loosening to loss of teeth.
It is therefore important to identify early signs and act accordingly. In this process, the tooth roots are usually removed from concretions - the deep-lying tartar - under local anesthesia and the root surface is smoothed so that the gums can again lie on the tooth root surface without inflammation.
No matter whether young or old, the doors of our practice are open to everyone. Be it the sealing of milk teeth or the adaptation of a prosthesis, we take care of dental issues in every phase of life.
Symptoms in the masticatory muscles and the temporomandibular joint require functional therapy. This takes place after a detailed diagnosis and self-observation of the patient.
For this purpose, a plastic splint is often made that the patient can use independently. The splint prevents direct contact between the rows of teeth and thus relaxes the masticatory musculature and the associated tissue and protects the tooth substance. In parallel, physiotherapy measures are often indicated.
A common reason for snoring at night is above all the repositioning of the lower jaw. The tongue falls back into the pharynx, constricts the airways and thus causes the typical snoring noise.
Snoring splints consist of two separate plastic splints for the upper and lower jaw, which are connected to one another via a fixed element. This pulls the lower jaw forward with slight tension and tenses the muscles a little. As a result, the tongue no longer sinks into the throat.
Nature already gives us the most beautiful templates for shape and color. With this in mind, we work out the best possible aesthetics for each individual treatment.
If teeth are stressed by many years of use and no longer in their original shape, veneers offer a visually sophisticated solution.
Veneers are wafer-thin ceramic veneers that are attached to the outer surfaces of the teeth and either add to the lack of harmony in the dental arch or create a completely new appearance.
If teeth are discolored from food or luxury goods such as coffee or from taking medication even after professional teeth cleaning, they can be lightened by bleaching.
The dark color pigments are lightened with a special substance containing hydrogen peroxide. This can be done using splints and a whitening gel at home or in our practice in several sessions.
With the help of transparent splints it is possible to correct minimal tooth misalignments.
Depending on the degree of expression, this is achieved through small plastic surfaces on the outer surfaces of the teeth and / or through so-called approximal enamel reduction. The outer enamel coat is minimally removed in the interdental spaces so that there is more space and, above all, nested teeth can be brought back into position.
The basic prerequisite for this is that the periodontium is free from inflammation.
Modern dentistry is increasingly replacing analog impressions with digital scanning processes. Intra-oral impression-taking is a pleasant option, especially for patients who do not particularly like regular impressions. The teeth are scanned and the recorded data is digitally forwarded for subsequent processing.
Immediately after the digital impression is taken, crowns, inlays and onlays are designed using software and manufactured in our grinding machine.
The subsequent individual painting of the dental prosthesis to match the neighboring teeth and a subsequent glaze firing means that personal care is created within a very short time.
This can be used on the same day - there is no extra appointment that would have to be bridged in the conventional way with a temporary denture.
This can also prevent a second anesthetic.
Just a short check-up appointment, as with conventional production, should take place about a week after the treatment.
Prosthetic dentures on implants - so-called superstructures - are crowns, bridges or dental prostheses that are anchored on implants.
These are divided into two parts and consist, on the one hand, of the abutment (here white), which is made of ceramic or titanium and is screwed into the implant. On the other hand, they consist of the respective crown / bridge - which are fastened with cement or also screwed.
Implant restorations offer a good alternative for individual tooth loss. Often the neighboring teeth are ground unnecessarily in order to close the gap with a bridge. This no longer has to be done using an implant in the gap, the neighboring teeth are spared.
Even if all teeth are lost, the implant restorations offer a much better hold than a conventional prosthesis.
A corresponding magnifying aid can be used during the procedure for modern and, above all, safe treatment. This makes it possible to work in a more minimally invasive and therefore gentle manner, thus optimizing the preservation of the teeth.
In the case of acute pain, the appropriate treatment for pain relief is initiated after detailed diagnostics and various tests.
Thereafter, further therapy is discussed and, if necessary, recommended to leading specialists in their fields for definitive care.
Close cooperation with leading practices in the fields of implantology, root canal treatment, oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics, periodontics, functional therapy, children's dentistry and dental technology is important. This ensures optimal treatment quality at the top level in all areas of modern dentistry. The long-term, trusting cooperation based on close communication in this collegial network makes it possible to analyze each case in detail, to consider various therapy options and to enable the patient to use all variants of a solution.
