Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease of the periodontium that leads to a progressive recession of the gums and jawbone.
Through early diagnosis and consistent treatment – whether conservative (e.g. professional cleaning, antimicrobial measures) or surgical (e.g. pocket reduction, regeneration) – we stop the progression of the disease, prevent further bone and tooth loss, maintain tooth stability and protect general oral health.
We also minimize systemic risks, as untreated periodontitis is associated with diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular problems and premature births. Our comprehensive diagnostics and treatment also includes the long-term preservation of implants, as these can develop peri-implantitis in the same way as periodontitis.
We will be happy to discuss your personal risk profile and the appropriate treatment strategy in an individual appointment.
In dentistry, splint therapy refers to treatment with custom-made dental splints (usually made of plastic), which serve as occlusal appliances or occlusal splints.
It is mainly used for craniomandibular dysfunction (CMD), night-time teeth grinding (bruxism), jaw joint problems, muscle tension or headaches.
The splint relieves the chewing muscles and jaw joints, harmonizes the bite position, protects the teeth from abrasion and reduces symptoms such as pain or tension.
We will be happy to discuss in a consultation whether splint therapy makes sense for you and which type of splint is best suited.
