Individual dentistry | Häfliger & Zaugg

Treatment principle

Health, function and aesthetics.

1. Health First things first.

Restoring and maintaining your oral health is at the heart of our efforts. Your cooperation is indispensable. Because the more regularly and carefully you care for your teeth and have them professionally cared for, the more varied and promising our dental options are.

2. Functionality A full life.

Chewing, speaking, singing, kissing... You should be able to enjoy life. Only when the gums are healthy, the roots of the teeth are firm, and the bone has healed are the necessary conditions in place. Whatever is conceivable and feasible from a dental point of view must be subordinated to this priority.

3. Aesthetics. Fine-tuning the appearance.

When tests confirm that everything is functionally at its best, we can turn our attention to the esthetic finishing touches. Then, for example, we can close gaps between your teeth and (re)establish the regularity and individual rhythm of your dentition. In the end, we look forward to the new quality of life that comes with a beautiful smile.

4. Care and prophylaxis

Course of action.

Systematically tailored to you

Each treatment plan is based on a systematic analysis of your needs. Our goal is always to guide you as gently, efficiently and painlessly as possible into the maintenance phase, in which we hope to welcome you as a regular dental hygiene guest.

1. Medical history, findings and diagnosis

At the beginning of each treatment, we ask you in detail about your medical history and your wishes. After a thorough and careful examination, we take the necessary time to discuss the findings and to compare our treatment options with your needs. If no intervention is required, we will send you to dental hygiene with a clear conscience. See the maintenance phase.

2. Hygiene phase

The hygiene phase includes thorough tooth cleaning and detailed instructions on oral hygiene, for example, to heal inflammation of the gums and the periodontium. Treatment of caries (patching up of holes), root canals, and removal of teeth not worth preserving are also part of the hygiene phase.

3. Surgical phase

This includes surgical procedures on the gums, the insertion of implants or more complex tooth extractions. For patients referred for surgery by another dentist, we assume that the hygiene phase has already been completed.

4. Reconstructive phase

In the reconstructive phase, we replace teeth as needed, fabricate crowns or veneers, perform functional tests, and perform the final finishing touches.

5. Maintenance phase

Once all the necessary treatment measures have been completed to your complete satisfaction, we will be pleased to welcome you for dental hygiene, referred to as "recall sessions", at defined intervals and by prior arrangement.
