Preserving teeth, not replacing them
Whether you're smiling or eating: Your teeth are very important to you. We make sure that it stays that way for the rest of your life.
Far beyond standard treatments, we develop modern methods of tooth preservation for you.
How we preserve your dental structures
-
Caries monitoring without X-rays
-
Top quality due to rubber dam application
-
Minimally invasive invisible fillings
-
Perfect restoration of lost tooth structures
-
Focus on substance conservation: avoidance of full crowns
-
Root canal treatments, even with complicated initial situations
-
Tooth-preserving surgery (e.g. microscopically guided root tip resections, see root canal treatments)
-
Approaches, strategies and techniques in the borderline area of tooth preservation
If defects in the tooth are too deep or if vitality-preserving measures are not effective, root canal treatment is the last option for preserving a tooth with irreversible nerve damage. A successfully treated tooth can remain in the oral cavity for many years and thus preserve the closed row of teeth or serve as an abutment for dentures.
To ensure success, diagnosis plays a key role in advance. The complexity of the root canal system can be visualised with the help of a 3D X-ray image (DVT), which is produced in our practice. The extent of the additional work required over and above the simple treatment covered by health insurance correlates with the success and long-term prognosis. The aim is to eliminate as much tissue and bacteria as possible from the canal system so that no discomfort or interference fields remain.
Root canal treatment is carried out with optical magnification (microscope/magnifying glasses) and is performed using electrometric length measurement, complex rinsing protocols and biocompatible materials to fill the canals.
Subsequent surgical interventions as a last resort for tooth preservation can thus be avoided.
