Keeping your own teeth for as long as possible

This wish is at the heart of our prophylaxis programme. We offer professional tooth cleaning, caries prophylaxis, individual prophylaxis for children and adults as well as supporting treatments in periodontal therapy. For patients with implants we have developed a special implant prophylaxis programme.

Care at home and professional support at the practice

Good care at home and the professional support of our dental hygiene team together form a successful path to healthy, well-cared-for teeth.

Prophylaxis helps to avoid elaborate treatments: a clean tooth falls ill less often. Scientific studies confirm the effectiveness of professional tooth cleaning, which is therefore always part of a modern prophylaxis concept.

Our prophylaxis programme

Prevention that fits your life

Every age group and every situation in the mouth needs its own concept. We put it together together with you.

Professional tooth cleaning

Thorough removal of hard and soft deposits, followed by polishing and fluoridation.

Caries prophylaxis

Individual advice on brushing technique, interdental care and a tooth-friendly diet.

Individual prophylaxis for children

Age-appropriate care from the very first tooth – playful and without pressure.

Support with periodontitis

Regular follow-up care so that a treated periodontium remains stable.

Professional tooth cleaning is the core of our prophylaxis concept. It is carried out by specially qualified dental staff – from children to seniors following the same basic principle, but each time with suitable materials and instruments.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have professional tooth cleaning?
For most adults two appointments a year make sense. Where the risk is higher - after periodontitis, with implants, a fixed brace or certain general medical conditions - we recommend shorter intervals.
Isn't thorough brushing enough?
Brushing is the foundation, but it does not reach every spot. Especially in the spaces between the teeth and below the gum margin, deposits remain that harden and can only be removed professionally.
Does health insurance pay for professional tooth cleaning?
The German statutory health insurance normally does not cover it, but many insurers grant a subsidy or reimburse it within bonus programmes. It is best to ask your own insurer directly.
From what age does prophylaxis make sense for children?
From the very first little tooth. We start with playful familiarisation and age-appropriate advice and build a firm preventive concept out of that over the years.
