Dental Restoration / Caries Treatment

TAILORED TOOTH RESTORATION

We can repair damage to the teeth, such as holes or chipped corners, gently and discreetly using fillings and crowns made from modern materials that match the color of the teeth. A wide variety of highly durable materials (composite of synthetic materials, porcelains) are available to ensure that small “repair jobs” last for a long time.

Matching Colors for the Perfect Look

Visible repairs – like earlier treatments involving gold or amalgam – are a thing of the past. To make sure that no one can see these repairs, we select materials that match your natural tooth color, so that your dental repairs are not visible to the naked eye.

NATURALLY GENTLE

We care about your natural teeth. That is why we use minimally invasive methods to treat minor “blemishes.” When preparing the treatments, we protect your teeth and remove only as much of the tooth’s substance as we really have to.

Even more extensive damage is not a problem for us – in our dental practice in Frankfurt, we offer you the whole range of restorative dentistry methods. Inlays, onlays, and partial and full crowns can eliminate troublesome defects with complete discretion.

WE REFURBISH TEETH

Amalgam fillings are unsightly and contain mercury, a highly toxic heavy metal. Amalgam treatment, which used to be widely practiced, is now considered a health risk.

If you still have amalgam fillings in your mouth, we offer an amalgam replacement treatment. When we remove the old filling, we use suction to clear away any fumes that may be emitted, ensuring that the filling is disposed of safely.

STOP HIDDEN CARIES –
WITHOUT A DRILL

Tooth decay occurs when dietary sugars are converted to acids by certain bacteria that plaque on the tooth surface. These acids dissolve minerals from the enamel and make it porous. Therefore, the bacterial plaque with the toothbrush must be removed regularly with care.

This is how the Icon-method works:

After a short pre-treatment of the tooth with a gel, a highly fluid plastic is applied to the attacked site, which penetrates deep into the enamel. After curing by light, the demineralized spot is filled without drilling and the decay can not proceed further.


DISCOVER EARLY CARIES EARLY …

At particularly critical locations, e.g. in the interdental spaces, the toothbrush does not get down and so the bacteria continue their destructive work. Unnoticed here arises caries. It hurts only when it is already too late: namely, when the caries has penetrated deep into the tooth and the typical brown-black color has adopted. In the early stages, a caries on small white spots on the enamel is recognizable. These so-called ”white spots“ are an indication of the onset of demineralization.

Whether in children or adults: Only with careful review as part of the regular check-up this hidden caries can be detected in the early stages. Then we have to weigh whether the mineral loss can still be remedied or whether a filling is required.

… AND TREAT WITH THE INFILTRATION METHOD WITH ICON

In case of caries in the early stages, the incipient defect can be repaired with the help of the infiltration method. The advantages of the Icon method:

  • No drilling – no syringe
