01 / Blood test for LDL / vitamin D3
Before treatment, we check important health markers such as LDL cholesterol and vitamin D3. A vitamin D deficiency can impair bone healing; your cholesterol level gives an indication of your metabolic state. These values help prepare for surgical procedures and do not replace an examination by your GP.
If a deficiency is found, we recommend – in consultation with your GP – correcting it before the procedure. This creates good conditions for wound healing.
02 / Biological, Vegan Prophylaxis
Prophylaxis is an important building block for maintaining your oral health. We use exclusively natural and vegan products (e.g. polishing pastes, gum balms, etc.) – and do without preservatives and mineral oils. On request, we work fluoride-free; however, according to current guidelines, fluoride is the most effective protection against caries – we will advise you openly on this.
03 / PRF – the body’s own wound healing
For surgical procedures, our practice additionally uses the PRF method (Platelet-Rich Fibrin). It uses the so-called growth factors in your own blood to support wound healing after procedures – with the body’s own material, without additives.
What PRF can do: The aim is calmer wound healing with less swelling and fewer after-effects. As with any healing process, the outcome depends on your individual situation.
For this, we take a small blood sample from you. The blood is then centrifuged to obtain the growth factors. These are then applied or introduced as a gel or biological membrane.
04 / Metal-Free Ceramic Restorations / Ceramic Implants
Instead of metal-containing inlays and restorations (e.g. gold inlays, ceramic-veneered crowns with a metal base, etc.), we use pure all-ceramic for inlays, crowns and bridges. It is metal-free, biocompatible and well tolerated. All-ceramic is also aesthetic.
A special feature: we even make all-ceramic inlays, crowns, bridges and veneers impression-free.
Ceramic implants: Our ceramic implants made of high-performance ceramic are metal-free, well tolerated and aesthetic. This makes them particularly suitable for people with metal allergies or metal intolerances.
05 / Consideration of the Meridian System
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) describes relationships between teeth and organs via what are known as meridians. On request, we include this perspective in the consultation. It is not scientifically proven, does not replace dental or medical diagnostics, and no health benefit has been demonstrated.
For complaints outside the mouth, we work together with your treating doctors, rather than promising any particular connection.
06 / Inflammation in the jawbone
We assess chronic inflammation in the jawbone – for example around root-treated, impacted or non-vital teeth – on a case-by-case basis according to the findings. Whether there is any connection with complaints outside the mouth is not scientifically established.
We only take a 3D scan (cone-beam CT) where there is a medical indication for it. If removal is indicated, it is carried out gently; we support wound healing with PRF and appropriately adjusted nutrient support.
07 / Amalgam / Metal Removal
Since 2025, amalgam has no longer been used for new fillings in the EU. According to the professional associations' assessment, intact amalgam fillings do not need to be removed as a precaution. If you would like metal-free treatment, if a proven intolerance or allergy is present, or if a filling needs to be replaced anyway, we replace metal with all-ceramic or composite materials.
We remove amalgam under defined protective measures (rubber dam, oxygen supply, special extraction technique), so that as little mercury vapour as possible is released during drilling. We'll advise you individually on any additional measures.
08 / Diagnosis and treatment of NICOs
The term NICO (Neuralgia Inducing Cavitational Osteonecrosis) describes localised changes in the jawbone that can develop after tooth extractions. The diagnosis is disputed within the professional community; a connection with symptoms outside the mouth is not scientifically proven.
If there is a reasonable suspicion, we clarify the finding clinically and – only where medically indicated – with a 3D scan (cone-beam CT). Where treatment is indicated, we support wound healing with PRF.
09 / Wisdom Tooth Surgery
We remove wisdom teeth gently and with biological principles in mind. On request, we check your vitamin D status beforehand, as a deficiency can impair bone healing. We use PRF to support wound healing; the aim is less swelling and fewer after-effects – the course of healing varies from person to person.
We are happy to advise you in person. Book your appointment online.
