We recommend removing the wisdom teeth if they have no room in the mouth, cannot be cleaned easily or are even inflamed.
We discuss the necessity and procedure of your wisdom tooth removal in detail and carry it out routinely and carefully. Thanks to our specialist dentist for oral surgery and our experienced team, we have a great deal of routine, additional expertise and the necessary skills to make the procedure pain-free, efficient and pleasant for you and to reduce discomfort after tooth removal to a minimum.

Teeth that do not erupt into the oral cavity (so-called retained teeth) are at risk of becoming inflamed, forming cysts, displacing or even damaging neighbouring teeth. These impacted teeth must therefore usually be removed. Dank unseres Fachzahnarztes für Oralchirurgie und unseres erfahrenen Teams verfügen wir über viel Routine, zusätzliches Fachwissen und die notwendigen Fähigkeiten, um den Eingriff schmerzfrei, effizient und angenehm für Sie zu gestalten und die Beschwerden nach der Zahnentfernung auf ein Minimum zu reduzieren.

Despite the greatest care, root canal treatment is not always successful and it can happen that the inflammation around the root of the tooth does not subside or reappears and causes pain. In such cases, an apicoectomy is the last option to preserve the affected tooth after all.
During this treatment, the root tip and the inflamed tissue around and in the root of the tooth are gently removed. The root of the tooth is then sealed again.

A cyst is a fluid-filled cavity that can form in the jawbone, for example. A cyst can develop, for example, as a result of a root canal-treated or incorrectly developed tooth. Cysts are usually benign, but they should still be removed to prevent the inflammation from spreading and to protect the surrounding tissue.

Conservative treatment by our dental hygienists may no longer be sufficient to treat severe periodontitis. In such cases, surgical treatment may be necessary to remove the inflamed tissue in depth and to disinfect the corresponding area. In our practice, we have two modern procedures at our disposal, the diode laser and ultrasound, for particularly gentle treatment.

A recession (exposed, visible tooth neck) is caused by the receding gums and the underlying bone. Possible causes of recession include incorrect brushing technique, malocclusion or tooth position correction.
Such visible tooth necks can be covered with gum tissue in case of discomfort (sensitivity to cold, gingivitis, etc.) or reduced aesthetics. Either the surrounding gum is transferred to the corresponding site or the recession is covered with a gum graft (which is usually taken from the palate).

Patients who are about to undergo an organ transplant, planned chemotherapy or radiotherapy need a very precise assessment of the health of their teeth and oral mucosa. The teeth should also be thoroughly examined before or when taking anti-resorptive medication such as bisphosphonates (used for osteoporosis, as tablets or injections) in order to prevent inflammation or wound healing disorders.
All teeth, the gums, the jawbone and the oral mucosa are thoroughly examined during a centre clarification.
Heavily damaged teeth, root residues, partially retained teeth or teeth with an inflammation at the tip of the root may need to be removed or restored before such treatment, as subsequent treatments are often more risky or acute inflammation or wound healing disorders can occur.

Lost teeth can be replaced by implants and the implant crowns screwed onto them.
Implants are made of pure titanium or ceramic and are inserted into the jawbone under normal local anaesthetic in an outpatient procedure. If there is not enough bone left to insert an implant, this can usually be rebuilt.
After the healing period, the implant is fitted with a ceramic crown and replaces the lost tooth in terms of function and aesthetics.
Thanks to our specialist dentist for oral surgery with an additional specialisation in dental implants (WBA oral implantology SSO) and our experienced team, we have a great deal of routine, additional specialist knowledge and the necessary skills to make the procedure pain-free, efficient and pleasant for you and to enable a high chance of success for an aesthetically and functionally perfect dental prosthesis.
We use implants from Neoss, Thommen, Straumann and Zeramex.

Bone augmentation in the maxillary sinus (a so-called sinus lift) is necessary if there is not enough bone in the upper jaw to place a dental implant. The missing bone height can be built up by inserting bone replacement material into the maxillary sinus (cavity above the jawbone). This outpatient procedure can usually be performed together with the insertion of the implant. In order to avoid complications, this rather complex procedure should preferably be carried out by an experienced team, which we can offer you with our specialist dentist for oral surgery with an additional specialisation in dental implants (WBA oral implantology SSO).

Peri-implantitis is the inflammation and loss of bone around an implant. There are many reasons that can lead to bone loss around an implant, with the main risk factors being smoking, inadequate oral hygiene and the presence of periodontitis (inflammation and loss of bone around teeth).
If regular disinfection of the implant is no longer sufficient to stabilise the bone loss, surgical measures are required to treat this condition. We will be happy to advise you on the most sensible and promising option in your case.

If teeth do not break through themselves due to crowding or a deviation of the axis, they remain in the jawbone and can lead to misaligned teeth. After assessment and planning of the entire tooth position correction by an orthodontist, we can expose displaced (impacted) teeth in a surgical procedure and bond a wire to them. This allows the orthodontist to slowly move these teeth into the correct position.

In the course of orthodontic treatment, milk teeth may have to be removed prematurely or permanent teeth may have to be removed (for reasons of space). In close co-operation with our orthodontists, we are happy to carry out such procedures for you and your children.

For certain tooth position corrections (orthodontic treatments), it is necessary to anchor the braces firmly in the jawbone. This requires small implants in the palate, which are inserted temporarily. We are happy to carry out this minor surgical procedure for you, in close co-operation with your orthodontist.

During a tooth transplant, a healthy tooth is removed and placed in a new position in the jaw. This treatment is used to replace teeth that have not been fitted or have been lost prematurely and to close the gap in the jaw. Tooth transplantation is a good alternative to fixed dentures, especially for children and adolescents. In addition to surgical experience, a precise selection of the patient’s age and suitability is also important for this procedure.

Lip frenula connect the upper and lower lip with the respective jaw. If a frenulum is too tight, it can exert tension on the gums and thus favour a gap between the incisors and an S-shaped speech defect.
A frenulum of the tongue that is too short is also often associated with negative consequences. These include problems with chewing and swallowing as well as speech development disorders in children.
In a minor surgical procedure, we can carefully cut the ligaments and suture them in a new position.

Every dental accident should be reported to the dentist and the accident insurance company. Depending on the severity of the injuries, immediate treatment is important. We will always try to offer you an appointment immediately.
With the right treatment, loosened or displaced teeth and even teeth that have been knocked out completely can be repositioned in the jaw and retained.

If the lips, gums or tongue are injured in an accident, these wounds must be cleaned as quickly as possible and sutured if necessary. Thanks to our specialisation in dental surgery, we are ideally equipped for this and will endeavour to offer you an appointment as quickly as possible in an emergency.

Depending on the extent of the accident, several follow-up check-ups, root canal treatments, reattachment of teeth or even a tooth replacement with an implant may be necessary. As we offer the entire spectrum of modern dentistry and also specialise in dental surgery, we can offer you comprehensive treatment in most cases and make your smile shine again.

As a rule, changes to the oral mucosa are largely harmless. In rare cases, however, an altered oral mucosa can be a sign of a serious inflammation or disease – it is therefore important to have the symptoms checked by an oral surgeon. For an accurate diagnosis, it is often necessary to take a small sample (biopsy).

Benign changes to the oral mucosa are harmless, but can often be annoying or irritating. These changes, such as fibromas, can be easily removed in a minor procedure under local anaesthetic. The wound usually heals without scarring.
