For many people, visiting the dentist takes a great deal of effort. As a result, dental problems often go untreated for long periods of time. The symptoms worsen, and tooth damage progresses, making it even harder to see a dentist.
In such situations, comprehensive dental restoration is often the best option. We take a holistic view of your dentition and develop a treatment plan to fully restore the functionality and aesthetics of your teeth.
If you’re interested in dental restoration, please feel free to schedule a no-obligation consultation at our Zurich practice. One of our dentists will be happy to take the time to show you possible solutions so that you can smile carefree again soon.
What Is Dental Rehabilitation?
Dental rehabilitation is essentially a package of several separate treatments. The goal of rehabilitation is to fully restore the function and aesthetics of all teeth. In cases of extensive dental damage or advanced tooth loss, this is often no longer possible with isolated treatments. That’s why we develop a personalized treatment plan based on your current dental condition.
The major advantage of dental restoration is that all treatment steps are coordinated with one another. This allows us to restore your dentition very efficiently while minimizing the burden on the patient.
When is dental restoration recommended?
Dental restoration is always advisable when there are significant dental problems that can no longer be satisfactorily resolved with individual treatments. This can be the case, for example, with extensive tooth loss or advanced dental damage. We particularly recommend a customized comprehensive restoration plan for patients who have more damaged teeth than healthy ones.
Dental restoration is particularly well-suited for anxious patients. Fear of the dentist is one of the main reasons why visits to the dentist are put off for long periods of time and dental problems remain untreated. In such cases, it is important for the patient to find an understanding professional who takes their specific situation into account. As part of a comprehensive restoration, we can resolve all dental problems efficiently, gently, and painlessly.
What treatments can a dental restoration program include?
The specific procedures included in a dental restoration program in Zurich depend on the patient’s individual situation. Teeth worth preserving can, for example, be treated with fillings or crowns. We replace missing teeth with dental bridges, implants, or—in cases of larger gaps—with dentures. Additionally, we treat oral diseases.
Today, there is a wide range of customized dental restoration solutions available, from removable full dentures to implant-supported dentures, all of which meet the highest standards in terms of function and aesthetics. Our dentists would be happy to advise you on the best treatment options.
How does dental restoration work?
Dental restoration is a complex treatment that must be planned with great care. Therefore, your dentist will first assess your current situation and discuss possible treatment options with you. Using X-rays and digital images, your dental restoration will then be planned in detail.
The actual treatment consists of two steps. First, severely damaged teeth are removed and any oral diseases are treated. Once healing is complete, your new dental restorations can be planned and fitted in the second step. Until they are ready, visible gaps are covered with a temporary restoration.
Depending on the type and scope of the procedures performed, dental restoration in Zurich may require a varying number of appointments. Your dentist will make every effort to minimize the inconvenience and schedule appointments to fit your daily routine.
Once the restoration is complete, we recommend regular checkups and professional teeth cleaning so that you can enjoy your new, radiant smile for a lifetime.
FAQ
Dental anxiety is a common reason why comprehensive dental restoration is necessary in the first place. In Zurich, we make a point of taking the time to discuss your fears with you and find a suitable solution for your treatment. In some cases, for example, dental treatment under general anesthesia may be an option. This allows the dentist to perform several treatment steps in a single session while you sleep peacefully through your appointment.
If teeth need to be extracted as part of your dental restoration or if there is a wait for a dental prosthesis, we can provide you with a temporary restoration upon request. This means you don’t have to worry about leaving our office with visible gaps in your teeth.
In a complete restoration, virtually any type of dental prosthesis can be used. The patient’s individual needs are the deciding factor. For example, single missing teeth can be replaced with dental implants, bridges, or crowns. In cases of more extensive tooth loss, a partial or full denture is often recommended. The options here range from removable dentures to implant-supported dental prostheses.
The cost of dental restoration can vary significantly depending on the procedures performed. At our practice, we plan your treatment together with you and then provide you with a detailed cost estimate. During this process, we’ll also discuss whether parts of the treatment are covered by your basic insurance or any supplemental dental insurance you may have.
