Detected Early, Treated Gently
With digital diagnostics, we can often detect tooth decay, leaking filling margins, or early-stage periodontitis before symptoms even appear. The earlier we detect a condition, the gentler the treatment usually is.
Even with an already affected tooth, we usually have several ways to save it – from tooth-colored fillings to root canal treatment to structured periodontitis therapy.
Our goal: to keep every single tooth functional for as long as possible, so that your bite and your smile stay natural.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a damaged tooth still be saved?
In many cases, yes: depending on the extent of the damage, a filling, a root canal treatment or a crown may be options for preserving your own tooth. A thorough examination shows how good the chances of success are in your individual case.
Does a root canal treatment hurt?
The treatment itself is carried out under local anaesthetic and is generally low in pain. Any pain caused by inflammation that existed before treatment usually noticeably subsides during the treatment itself.
What happens if tooth decay is not treated?
Untreated tooth decay can progress and reach the tooth nerve, which can lead to pain and possibly a root canal treatment. The earlier we detect it, the more gently it can usually be treated.
How can you recognise early-stage periodontitis?
Typical signs are bleeding gums, red or sensitive gums, and bad breath. We make a reliable diagnosis using a periodontal status measurement at your check-up appointment.
