Dental procedures can be avoided by starting prophylaxis as early as possible. In dentistry in particular, it is possible to detect and prevent diseases of the teeth and periodontium at an early stage.

During the dental hygiene session, all hard and soft plaque, discolouration, as well as restoration excess, deposits or other impurities are removed. Once a year there is also a dental check-up. To ensure early detection of caries, X-rays are taken about every two years. X-ray images can be used to diagnose not only caries but also foci of inflammation. Any existing dentures and splints will be checked and cleaned. Individual information on oral hygiene and nutrition will help you to avoid future damage.

With the latest composit and ceramic materials, we can repair and reconstruct nearly any decayed tooth. With today's materials we achieve very good and long-lasting results.

Composit fillings can almost perfectly match the natural tooth in terms of color and shape. However, they cannot always be used. Ceramic materials may be used for larger defects in the posterior region. In individual cases, gold inlays are indicated.

Amalgam fillings are no longer used in our practice. We are happy to carry out a professional amalgam restoration if the fillings are insufficient or should be removed for aesthetic or general medical reasons.

Which filling therapy is most suitable for you can only be assessed after an individual examination. We will be happy to help you and advise you personally.

Prosthetic work can be made in a wide range of variations, such as inlays, onlays, crowns, bridges and prostheses.

If there is not enough tooth substance left to reconstruct the tooth with a direct filling an indirect replacement of the lost tooth substance is necessary.

With the help of crowns, your teeth can resume their natural function and be protected for years. It is also about estheticly adapting individual crowns perfectly to the neighboring teeth, so that they are invisible to the outsider. If there are tooth gaps, a bridge can be used as a fixed denture.

If several teeth are lost, they can be replaced with removable dentures (partial dentures, full dentures). Depending on your individual needs, there is a wide range of treatment options. Our aim is to provide the highest functional, cosmetic and phonetic requirements.

Our dentures are made exclusively in Switzerland and by experienced dental laboratories. We would be happy to advise you on the advantages and disadvantages of the various solutions and support you in your choice, so that your dentures will improve your quality of life.

An attractive smile and beautiful teeth are part of a well-received appearance today. That is why we offer you the entire spectrum of aesthetic dentistry.

This ranges from tooth-colored "invisible" fillings, bleaching (teeth whitening), ceramic inlays and veneers, as well as tooth position corrections to metal-free, highly aesthetic all-ceramic crowns and bridges.

In order to meet your wishes as best as possible, we work closely with an experienced dental technician in our area when manufacturing the veneers.

If necessary, we perform various surgical procedures in our practice. Our many years of experience and the latest technologies enable you to find an individual solution and optimal treatment.

Surgery is usually done under local anesthesia. On request or if necessary, nitrous oxygen or a general anesthesia are also available.

Our variations of oral surgery includes:

• tooth extractions
• surgical removal of wisdom teeth
• resection of the radix
• implants
• augmentation of the bone and soft tissues
• removal of cysts, salivary stones and foreign bodies
• biopsies

Implants have become an integral part of today's life of the dentist. Implantology offers an alternative to reconstructions like bridges or removable dentures. Fixed prosthodontics achieve better speech and chewing functions than removable dentures. It involves the insertion of an artificial roots in the jawbone (implants), which serves as an anchor for the following prosthodontics.

Thanks to our specialisation in the field of implantology and many years of surgical experience , you can always feel safe and well looked after.

Periodontitis is an infectious disease of the gum and periodontium. Preventive treatments, such as dental hygiene and the understanding of the disease and their causes are of the greatest importance.

The main cause of periodontitis are periodontal bacteria. However, smoking, stress and a weakened immune system can also have a negative impact on the course of the disease.

Untreated periodontitis can lead to tooth loss and destruction of the jawbone over time. Periodontal diseases also represent an additional risk of heart attack, stroke and premature birth. Therefore, the main task of periodontal therapy is to identify the cause of the disease and to eliminate it.

 If you have been diagnosed with periodontitis, the treatment depends on the extent and severity of the disease.

It is our pleasure to accompany you and your child from the first tooth to fully grown teeth. It is of great importance for us, that your child will get to know the dental visit in a calm atmosphere and playful way.

For this we offer you:

• detailed advice on proper nutrition and care from the first milk tooth
• individual care for general illnesses, drug therapies and certain hereditary diseases
• fast and trustworthy immediate therapy after accidents
• initial assessment of any orthodontic therapy that may be necessary, as well as placeholders in the event of premature tooth loss
• all the usual forms of therapy (annual check-up, dental hygiene, caries therapy, extractions), adapted to your child's needs

Discoloration of the teeth can occur naturally or be caused by foreign substances (smoking, coffee, tea, etc.). The natural tooth color also darkens with age. Discolorations that cannot be removed with the dental hygiene can be lightened with the help of bleaching.

For bleaching healthy teeth are necessary - this means that there are no cavities and that all reconstructions (fillings, inlays, etc.) are intact.

In our practice we offer three different types of bleaching:

• In-office bleaching. A convenient and quick way to whiten your teeth in our practice. Usually only one session is needed to achieve the desired result.
• Home bleaching. It is carried out by the patient himself according to the dentist's instructions. We produce an individual dental splint that the patient can use at home every day. The duration of treatment is usually 7 to 10 days.
• Internal bleaching is used to whiten root-treated ("dead") teeth from the inside.

We offer the correction of misaligned teeth with the help of almost invisible splints. Simple and discreet, sequential clear removable splints (aligner) straighten your teeth.

Aligners are specially developed  a discreet tooth correction. Everyone who wears an aligners can laugh, talk and kiss - as usual.

The flexible splint is comfortable to wear because you don't need metal brackets or wires. You simply remove them while eating and brushing teeth. You also have the option of removing the splint during an important appointment or event.

The attachment of tooth jewelry in the form of a crystal or gold element is becoming increasingly popular.

The tooth jewelry is painlessly attached to the enamel in the location of your choice within a few minutes. No tooth substance will be damaged. The tooth remains intact and the tooth jewelry can be removed at any time without much effort.

Depending on the desired bonding time, we will select the right bonding system for you. Whether it's colorful and eye-catching for a festival or special occasion, or subtle and flattering to last over years. Every stone and every combination has its own charm.

An overloade of the masticatory system (jaw joint, masticatory muscles and teeth) can lead to masticatory dysfunction (myoarthropathy). These are mainly expressed by excessive clenching or grinding (rubbing) of the teeth and cramped chewing- and head and neck muscles.Chewing disorders can lead to headaches, restricted mouth opening, excessive wear of the tooth structure and problems with the jaw joint.

The therapy for the chewing dysfunction is individually tailored to you. It serves to relieve the jaw joint and the chewing muscles, as well as to protect the teeth from excessive wear.

Possible forms of therapy:

• Preventive measures through behavior change, relaxation and stretching exercises of the masticatory system (physiotherapeutic measures can be carried out independently at home after instructions and exercises)
• Close follow-up with pictures and digital impressions
• Grinding or bite splints individually adapted to your teeth
• Pain therapy using medication patches, anti-inflammatory drugs, stretching exercises and, if necessary, intra-articular injections

We offer treatment with nitrous oxide for children, patients with dentalphobia, major surgeryies and those patients, who want to benefit from the advantages of a dental treatment under nitrous oxide in general.

In individual cases, treatment under general anesthesia is indicated. In this case we work together with an experienced anesthetic team, who comes into our praxis.

Nitrous oxide has an analgetic, calming and anxiolytic effect. This allows the patient to relax during the treatment and reduces the emotional stress.

Treatment with nitrous oxide is carried out with controlled inhalation of oxygen and nitrous oxide through a small nasal mask. The effect of the nitrous oxide sets in quickly and is also reversed very quickly by administering 100% oxygen at the end of the treatment. The patient can leave the practice without any further restriction and fully conscious.
