Your specialists for dentistry.

Dear patients.

The entire Medicus Dental team hopes that you have come through the strict lockdown safely. In these challenging times of Covid-19, choosing a dental practice is a matter of trust, because not all dentistry is the same and not all hygiene measures are the same.

We earn your trust by treating you in our dental practice the way we would like to be treated ourselves. We take your dental concerns seriously and take the time to advise and treat you carefully and stress-free. Today's everyday life, dominated by Covid-19, requires consistent hygiene.

Your health and protection are important to us.

Everyday life, which is currently dominated by coronavirus, requires additional hygiene measures. Based on the directives of the Zurich Cantonal Health Department and the recommendations of the Federal Office of Public Health, we have developed a consistent dental coronavirus hygiene concept.

Dental hygiene for patient protection:
- Hand disinfection
- Constant wearing of mouth and nose masks
- Regular disinfection of door handles, faucets, and toilets
- Long ventilation of dental treatment rooms
- Maximum of two people in the waiting area
- COVID-19 medical history form
- Taking patients' temperature
- Magazines and newspapers may not be displayed

Conservative dentistry.
We are committed to your teeth.

The dentists at Medicus Dental offer you a wide range of expertise and methods that can preserve even
extensively damaged teeth can still be preserved. If this is no longer possible, we offer you
various options for closing the gap. We focus on quality in both our workmanship and our choice of materials
, we focus on quality. For perfectly fitting dentures that you can neither see nor feel.

Fillings

Damage to the tooth or tooth neck caused by caries is treated gently and minimally invasively with fillings. For this purpose, we use high-quality composites, a combination of ceramic and plastic, which are characterized by high stability, tightness, and aesthetics. We no longer use amalgam as a filling material. On request, the dentists at their practice on Schaffhauser Platz will carry out amalgam restoration for you in a way that is gentle on your health.

Root canal treatment

Root canal treatment is necessary when the tooth nerve is diseased. It is a sensitive procedure, as the finely branched nerve canals must be cleaned and disinfected very carefully. In very few cases is treatment possible in a single session; usually 3 to 4 sessions are required. The dentists at Medicus Dental perform root canal treatment using the latest treatment techniques and materials. This ensures a lasting result, often allowing the tooth to be preserved.

Inlays and partial crowns

Inlays made of gold or high-quality ceramic are perfect for preserving teeth even in cases of significant substance loss. Precisely crafted all-ceramic inlays stabilize the tooth and are indistinguishable from natural teeth, giving you an aesthetically perfect result.

Bridges and crowns

Crowns protect and preserve the tooth when the defect is too large for a filling or inlay. If a tooth is missing, a bridge can close the gap. In close cooperation with our quality laboratory, we manufacture high-quality dentures for you that fit perfectly and blend harmoniously with your teeth.

Partial dentures / dentures

If several teeth are missing in the jaw, partial dentures can close the gap. These are attached with high-quality, invisible attachments or with simple clasps. By using implants in combination with partial dentures, the use of full dentures can be avoided in most cases today.

Dental implants

Dental implants can perfectly close gaps without affecting the adjacent teeth. A titanium root is implanted into the jaw and a ceramic crown replaces the tooth. With careful planning, execution, and good prophylaxis, dental implants can easily last a lifetime. Thanks to the combination of medical expertise and state-of-the-art 3D technology, you can expect optimal results for your implant at your dental practice at Schaffhauserplatz.

Oral surgery

As part of our holistic treatment approach, we also perform oral surgery procedures. This includes the removal of wisdom teeth or other teeth, for example in preparation for orthodontic treatment. You can also count on the expertise of your dentists at Schaffhauserplatz in Zurich for the removal of cysts in the jaw area or the treatment of diseases of the oral mucosa.
