Zahnarztpraxis Dr. Rattinger AG

Our range of treatments

Preventive care

Prophylaxis instructions and teeth cleaning are carried out in our practice by the following staff, depending on the patient's situation:

• the prophylaxis assistant
• the dental hygienist
• the dentist

In cases of very high susceptibility to caries or serious gum problems, we also perform bacteriological tests, which then form the basis for intensive prophylaxis or special treatments.

Periodontal therapy

Inflammatory diseases of the gums and periodontium are called periodontitis.
In addition to conservative therapy, known as "deep scaling," accompanied by antibiotic therapy depending on the situation, we also offer decontamination with a diode laser and the latest surgical techniques with various regeneration techniques.

Tooth-colored fillings and ceramic inlays

Tooth neck defects and early-stage caries can be treated with small, tooth-colored plastic fillings.

Direct plastic fillings can also be used to achieve attractive results in the aesthetic area.

Large defects or old, large fillings that need to be replaced are treated with ceramic inlays according to need and budget.

Amalgam restoration

The amalgam is professionally removed using a rubber dam and a special clean-up suction device.
If you wish, you can accompany the amalgam replacement with tests and removal of heavy metals. These tests and therapies for holistic dentistry are offered in our practice by Dr. Stefan Spörri, who is no longer clinically active himself.

Aesthetic corrections and crown/bridge reconstructions

If teeth are severely damaged or corrections in color and shape are desired, crowning is advisable. We prefer to use all-ceramic crowns.
For gap restorations, we offer fixed cemented bridges as a treatment option; these are also usually made of all-ceramic.

Partial and full dentures

For multiple gaps or toothlessness, we offer individually manufactured, removable dentures, which we support with implants if necessary.

Implantology with titanium and ceramic implants

We offer implants as dental prostheses, combined with bone augmentation and soft tissue augmentation if necessary.
We use the following types of implants:

• Titanium implants from Thommen Medical, a Swiss precision implant, or, on request, implants from Biomet 3i
• Ceramic implants (zirconium implants/zirconium dioxide) from z-systems, also a Swiss precision implant. We have been using these ceramic implants since 2006 with the same success rate as titanium implants

 

Root canal treatment

Root canal treatment may be necessary in cases of deep caries or tooth fractures.
Root canal treatment involves cleaning the root canals, disinfecting them with medication and, if necessary, laser, followed by a dense root filling.
Root canal treatment is more difficult in narrow, so-called sclerotic canals, or in severely curved or branched canals.
Teeth that have undergone root canal treatment are often severely weakened and frequently require a crown.

 

Complex rehabilitation

 

In complex rehabilitation cases, the problems are multifaceted.
Case studies:

1. Recession coverage on various teeth, so-called bite elevation, and aesthetic restoration with fillings and crowns.

Patient after a motorcycle accident. Bone augmentation and soft tissue augmentation with two implants plus crowns.

If necessary, we work together with specialists in orthodontics, oral surgery, and maxillofacial surgery:
Case study:

 

1. Accident: Dental treatment was carried out after maxillofacial surgery and orthodontics.

Consultations, tests, and therapies for holistic dentistry with Dr. Spörri

Treatment offered:

• Consultations on solutions to dental problems from the perspective of interconnections throughout the body
• Heavy metal exposure test, food tolerance test, and diagnosis of stomach/intestinal disorders
• Medication and material testing
• Resonance testing of various detoxification therapies (biophysical information therapy)
• Mineral deficiency and heavy metal analyses of tissue using spectrophotometry (OligoScan)
• Toxicological prevention to increase vitality (Bodycleaning, BodyBasicPlan I and II)
• Therapies for detoxification disorders such as chronic maxillary sinusitis, joint problems, skin problems, etc.
• Oral acupuncture and neural therapy
• Psychosomatic energetics (PSE according to Banis)
• Scenar treatments (bipolar therapy pulses that are individually adapted to the body at any time and at any location)
• Information and energy medicine with TimeWaver Med and TimeWaver Frequency

Laser therapy

The diode laser is used for the decontamination of periodontal pockets, root canals, and in cases of peri-implantitis. The diode laser is also used for biostimulation and to promote healing processes in cases of inflammation, pain, or after surgical procedures.

 

Surgery:

• You can find the range of treatments for soft tissue surgery under Periodontal Therapy
• The range of implant surgery treatments can be found under Implantology
• If necessary, teeth that are not worth preserving are extracted under local anesthesia and, if necessary, surgically removed. We also have a piezo surgery device at our disposal for this purpose.
• For orthognathic surgery or surgery with a high risk of complications, we will refer you to a specialist.
