Our treatment philosophy

Dental work is much more than just repairing cavities. Dental care is not only important for a healthy mouth, but also for your general health and well-being. In the past, dentists did little more than fix the rapidly advancing deterioration of decay and gum disease due to neglect. That means dentists were primarily reactive.

Dentistry was not about preventing oral decay and gum disease.
Our philosophy of treatment is to offer the utmost quality of care and service in dentistry with a strong focus on prevention.

"It is our aim to offer top quality dental care to improve and maintain your dental health."

The importance of a preventive approach was shown by two Scandinavian scientists (Prof. Axelsson, Prof. Lindhe) in their study performed in 1981: their 15-year long longitudinal study of adults showed that preventive programmes had led to an increase in the number of remaining teeth in 65-year-old patients by more than 15% and a reduced loss of periodontal support by more than 20%. This study clearly shows that prevention forms the basis of modern dental care.

We specialise in preventive care and offer an extensive dental health programme which is based on 4 pillars.

This programme is designed to prevent new damage and unnecessary pain:
Assessment - Consultation - Treatment - Maintenance
1. Assessment
In a first step we carefully evaluate your oral health down to the smallest detail to determine the treatment approach that best suits your needs. The right plan is essential to providing appropriate and effective dental care.

2. Consultation
In a second step we discuss all the findings and possible treatment plans with you as well as your concerns and wishes. We also provide you with an estimate for the various treatment plans and options.

3. Treatment
After the initial consultation we start with your personalised treatment. A typical treatment session starts with our highly qualified dental hygienist examining and cleaning your teeth and making notes of problems. It is often necessary to clean the periodontal pockets to eliminate bacteria and prevent further gum recession. After all cavities and decay have been removed and cleaned out and/or a dental prosthesis installed, the fourth and last phase starts:

4. Maintenance
Depending on your oral status we present you with a personalised oral care programme. Regular professional cleaning and checkups are essential for good oral health as well as your maintaining up a good routine at home to keep your teeth and gums healthy.

With our treatment plan and your self-care routine we can

• prevent
• detect
•  treat
• even eliminate

oral problems.

To show that we firmly believe in our concept of preventive care we give all customers who participate in our dental hygiene plan (checkup and cleaning every 6 months) a 5 year extended guarantee on all dental prostheses instead of the 6 months required by law!

Let us create a healthy dental future together!
