Whether you already have symptoms or simply want to take precautions: five short questions help you judge whether an examination makes sense.
Ask yourself these five important questions:
Are your teeth crooked or crowded? Crooked teeth can be straightened in children, teenagers and adults – with fixed braces or clear aligners. Read more under braces and orthodontics and Invisalign®.
Have you noticed receding gums or gum inflammation? Bleeding gums can be a sign of periodontitis. How we treat it is explained under periodontology; for exposed tooth necks, see plastic gum surgery.
Do you have older metal fillings (such as amalgam) or metal crowns you would like to have checked? At the examination we assess your existing fillings and crowns and advise you on tooth-coloured alternatives. Read more under dental prosthetics.
Do you have root-filled teeth that keep causing problems? In that case, root canal retreatment can help. Read more under root canal treatment.
Do you have gaps that haven’t been restored yet? A gap can cause the neighbouring teeth to tip. Whether an implant or another solution is an option is explained under implantology and dental prosthetics.
Why this matters
Your mouth is an important part of your overall health. Gum recession, misaligned teeth or unrestored gaps can put strain on your teeth and jaw joints. Some patients would also like to have existing metal fillings such as amalgam checked or replaced – we advise you on this individually.
That’s why we don’t just focus on fixing isolated problems. Instead, we carefully plan your entire oral situation to create a stable, healthy foundation for your teeth.
Your opportunities
Whether metal-free restorations, gum treatment, straightening your teeth or closing gaps – we plan the steps so that they fit together. If you wish, we also advise you on oral hygiene and a tooth-friendly diet.
Did you answer yes to any of these questions?
