  • What is aesthetic dentistry?
    Aesthetic dentistry is a specialized field within dentistry that deals with the appearance of teeth. Each person naturally has a different tooth color. Furthermore, tooth enamel can also change due to frequent coffee consumption or cigarette use – teeth can become discolored, have defects, or may be entirely missing due to dental conditions such as periodontitis.
  • What is the difference between red and white dental aesthetics?
    Perhaps you have come across the terms red or white dental aesthetics. An essential prerequisite for beautiful teeth is the harmony between teeth and gums. Only when the teeth are surrounded by healthy and pinkish gums can they appear healthy and remain consistently beautiful. ​ For this reason, white dental aesthetics – such as teeth treatment through bleaching – begins with gum treatment. If there is periodontitis, it must be treated initially to strengthen the tooth-supporting apparatus. Only afterwards can treatments for the beautification of the teeth be carried out. Aesthetic dentistry and dental function are inseparably connected in aesthetic dentistry as well.
  • When should implants be used?
    Whether due to an accident, a diseased tooth, or tooth loss in old age: When teeth are missing, it often significantly impairs the quality of life and functionality of the dentition. Common causes of tooth loss, even at a younger age, include cavities and periodontal diseases such as periodontitis. A gapped dentition also affects the visual appearance, causing many patients to hesitate to open their mouths or smile. In these cases, implantology gives you back a significant portion of your quality of life.
  • What is a dental implant, anyway?
    A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that can be made from various materials. In most cases, titanium, ceramic, or a combination of both materials is used. Crown: The crown is the externally visible part of the implant. It is either screwed onto or securely bonded with the implant abutment. Depending on whether a single tooth or multiple teeth are missing, a crown or a bridge can be placed in this area. Implant Abutment: This is the connection between the implant body and the crown. It is firmly attached to both components. Implant Body: The implant body is the part of the dental implant that is screwed into the jawbone. Visually, the implant body resembles a screw or a cylinder with a length of up to 14mm.
  • How is an implant inserted?
    To insert a dental implant, a small surgical procedure is necessary. We place our patients under general anesthesia so that they are unaware of this procedure. The insertion of implants is completely painless. During the procedure, the dentist gently exposes the jawbone and creates an implant bed in the jawbone using a drill. The implant will be screwed into this location later on.Subsequently, the implant must heal before further steps in implantology can be taken. It is important not to stress the jaw during this time. To ensure you can still eat with minimal restrictions, you will receive a provisional dental restoration for this period. During this time, dental technicians create the crown, which is specially tailored to your bite. Once the implant is securely healed in the jawbone, the crown is permanently screwed in place.
  • What do dental implants cost?
    The costs for a dental implant can vary significantly from patient to patient. Prices depend on the type of material, the extent of tooth loss, and the individual oral health. Typically, statutory health insurances do not cover the costs of a dental implant. However, you benefit for a lifetime from the one-time investment in a permanent tooth replacement.
  • What are Ceramic Veneers? What exactly are Veneers or Dental Veneers?
    With these so-called Facings or Veneers, we offer a very modern but proven method of correcting dental aesthetics. These are ultra-thin, translucent ceramic shells that simply cover unsightly teeth in the front tooth area. After the dentist has adjusted them to the shape and color, Veneers are visually almost indistinguishable from the patient's natural teeth. Typically, a Veneer adheres to the treated tooth for more than 10 years, allowing for long-lasting durability with professional treatment.
  • Which Forms of Veneers Are There?
    Understanding the Different Types of Veneers ​ The world of veneers is filled with misconceptions, one of the most common being the belief that applying veneers requires extensive grinding down of the teeth. While this was the case with the earliest forms of veneers, advancements in dental technology have evolved past that necessity. However, the preparation involved is still a crucial aspect of the veneer treatment process.At our practice in Los Angeles, we distinguish between two main types of veneers: Prep-Veneers and Non-Prep Veneers. Both options offer a visually stunning outcome, tailored specifically to each patient's dental structure. The key difference lies in the method of tooth preparation ​ Non-Prep Veneers: ​ This method involves a simple cleaning of the teeth without the need to remove any tooth substance. The ceramic shells are then directly bonded to the teeth's surface. This process is non-invasive, requires no anesthesia, and allows patients to leave the practice promptly. Non-Prep veneers are exceptionally thin, measuring just 0.3 mm, making them a minimally invasive option. ​ Prep Veneers: ​ Representing the traditional approach to veneers, this method requires the removal of a small layer of tooth enamel under anesthesia. The extent of enamel removed largely depends on the initial dental alignment, with a maximum of 1.5 mm being removed to ensure the tooth's integrity and health are maintained. Despite the differences in preparation, the costs between the two methods are comparably similar.

  • What is Prosthodontics and When is it Used?
    Prosthodontics is utilized whenever teeth are so diseased that they need to be extracted or when missing teeth significantly impair the functionality of the dentition. Even when a tooth is only partially present, it can be reconstructed with the help of crowns or bridges. Prosthetic treatment offers various advantages: Restoration of the Chewing Function of a Dentition Stabilization of the Dental Rows Preservation of the Aesthetics of Your Teeth In order to achieve these three goals through modern prosthodontics, the right dental replacement must be selected for you.
  • When is dental replacement recommended?
    Often, the term 'dental replacement' is equated with dentures in old age. Throughout life, teeth are subjected to strong stresses, may fall out, or be so severely damaged by dental and gum diseases that they can no longer be preserved. Dental replacement is always an option when there are gaps in the dentition that can be closed with a prosthesis. Patients of all ages benefit from prosthetic dental treatment. Prostheses are also used when a tooth is only partially preserved and needs to be reconstructed with a crown or bridge. Feel free to visit our dental practice so that we can recommend an individualized dental treatment for you.
  • What are the costs associated with dental prosthetics?
    Since dental prosthetics must always be individually planned for the patient, we cannot provide specific cost estimates at this point. In general, the cost of dental prosthetics increases the closer the replacement aligns with your natural teeth. Implants are generally among the more expensive options for artificial dental replacements, while removable dentures are relatively more cost-effective alternatives.
