Obstructive sleep apnea is a serious condition that affects breathing during sleep. It occurs when the muscles at the back of the throat are unable to keep the airways open, leading to temporary interruptions in breathing. Jaw misalignment has been scientifically proven to be one of the most common causes of this insidious condition.
Privatdozent Dr.med. Dr.med.dent A.-F. Safi is a specialist in oral and maxillofacial surgery (FMH) and a specialist in oral surgery (SSO). He completed his training in Germany, the USA and Switzerland.
Dr. Safi's excellent understanding of aesthetics, coupled with his outstanding medical expertise, is unique and meets the demands of 21st century oral and maxillofacial surgery in terms of patient care and the combination of functional and aesthetic goals in surgical planning.
Dr. Safi is incredibly knowledgeable and has an amazing aesthetic eye. He is very open to communication, and his assistants are some of the kindest people I've ever interacted with. Would highly recommend to anyone seriously interested in greatly improving their appearance!
Dr. Safi is just great. I had a relatively urgent jaw and facial problem and had difficulty finding a nearby doctor's appointment. However, Dr. Safi went out of his way to not only see me urgently (the next day), but also to find a place for me in a private clinic so that I could be operated on. The latter worked out very well, Dr. Safi is extremely competent. I would like to add that he is very friendly and patient and goes to great lengths to make the patient feel safe and comfortable.
I can recommend Dr. Safi without reservation. He took good care of me at every stage of the process and made me feel that I was in good hands throughout.Dr. Safi and his assistant Mrs. Spahiu are very personable and take a lot of time.The result of his work exceeded my expectations and I am very satisfied with the result. Thank you for the excellent work!
We can highly recommend this practice. Our son's 4 wisdom teeth were extracted in one session under local anesthetic. Everything went perfectly. Without much pain afterwards. Great doctor and super team.
I had a very pleasant and smooth experience with Dr. Safi.He really has an aesthetic eye and listens to you about your wishes and own ideas. He explains the surgery very clearly and is also eager to hear your opinion. I was very happy with the plan he made for me. He took a lot of time to talk to me about it and he made me feel safe.After my surgery I was very happy with the results and Dr. Safi really took care of me after the surgery. Great experience and I am grateful!
In March of this year, I had surgery on my jaw by Dr. Safi to correct a misalignment and get implants. After the procedure, I had pain and difficulty eating for a few days, which caused a bit of anxiety. However, Dr. Safi took care of me by checking up on me in the clinic and also after discharge to make sure I felt supported after such a major surgery. Thanks to the care provided by Dr. Safi and his team, my recovery was smooth and comfortable. I really appreciated how Dr. Safi addressed my concerns and took time with me during my treatment. I am grateful and satisfied with the quality of care I received
I went to the clinic in early April to plan and discuss a possible genioplasty. The planning took about six weeks before the surgery. While discussing the simulation, I noticed that the area under my lower lip didn't look quite right to me. Dr. Safi then told me about a special genioplasty he had modified himself to simulate a bimax in the lower jaw, and I agreed. After the surgery, it took about two months for the swelling to go down enough to see any real results. I am so glad I made this choice. My whole face now looks more balanced and I no longer feel like I look like a teenager. Also, my airways have widened by about 50%. I don't really notice it in everyday life, but I feel like I have more stamina when I exercise. Many thanks to Dr. Safi and his team!
Very competent and professional surgeon! from the first consultation to the aftercare, I felt in the best hands with Dr. Safi. he explained everything in detail, answered my questions and took away any uncertainties. the treatment itself went smoothly and the result is absolutely perfect. The whole team is also friendly and creates a relaxed atmosphere, I can recommend Dr. Safi without reservation and would come back anytime, five stars for outstanding professional competence and empathy!
I was recently operated on by Dr. Safi and I am absolutely satisfied! From the very first consultation he was incredibly friendly and took a lot of time to explain everything in detail. He took all my worries away because he was so professional and empathetic. You can just tell that he loves his job and cares about the patient. The surgery itself went exactly as discussed and the result is exactly as planned. During the entire treatment, Dr. Safi always asked how I was doing and took great care of me. Even after the operation, he always asked if everything was OK. I really feel that I am in very good hands and can only warmly recommend Dr. Safi! A doctor who is not only professionally competent, but also a great person!
