In brief<\/div>\r\n

The best tooth is often the one we save. Before a replacement is considered, the aim is to treat and preserve your own teeth, and only when that is no longer possible to plan a reliable implant solution.<\/p>\r\n

What is important to know.<\/h2>

It all starts with diagnostics: an examination, scans and, in more complex cases, a 3D analysis. These guides cover treatment, endodontics and the diagnostic methods that are the foundation of every good plan.<\/p><\/div>\r\n

\r\n
01<\/div>

Diagnostics and CBCT<\/h3>

A precise picture of the condition of the teeth, the bone and the surrounding structures is the foundation of every treatment plan.<\/p><\/div>\r\n

02<\/div>

Endodontics<\/h3>

Root canal treatment often saves a tooth that would otherwise have to be extracted.<\/p><\/div>\r\n

03<\/div>

Restorative work<\/h3>

Fillings and restorations bring back function and appearance while preserving as much of your own tooth as possible.<\/p><\/div>\r\n

04<\/div>

When a tooth can no longer be saved<\/h3>

When treatment is not possible, a complete plan ensures a reliable transition to an implant solution.<\/p><\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Common questions<\/span>

Frequently asked questions.<\/h2><\/div>\r\n
\r\n

Why do diagnostics matter so much?<\/h3>

Because a good plan starts with an accurate picture of the situation. 3D diagnostics reveal what an ordinary X-ray does not show.<\/p><\/div>\r\n

Can my tooth be saved?<\/h3>

Often yes, with endodontic treatment and a good restoration. We make the assessment after an examination and a scan.<\/p><\/div>\r\n

What if the tooth does have to be extracted?<\/h3>

Then we plan the replacement in advance, so that the transition to an implant or another solution is reliable.<\/p><\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\n
