This technology enables precise treatment planning. In our practice, we use state-of-the-art imaging techniques to achieve optimal results.

Ankylosis

Ankylosis refers to the stiffening of the temporomandibular joint, which can be caused by injury, inflammation or degeneration. This limited mobility impairs eating and speaking. In our practice, we offer specialized surgical treatments to restore the mobility of the jaw and improve the quality of life.

Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI)

The apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) measures the frequency of breathing interruptions and reduced breaths during sleep. A high AHI value indicates severe sleep apnea, which puts a strain on the cardiovascular system. In our practice, we offer therapies such as snoring splints and surgical procedures to reduce the AHI and improve the quality of sleep.

Arthroscopy

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure in which small instruments and cameras are used to examine and treat the temporomandibular joint. This technique is gentle and enables a quick recovery. In our practice, we use arthroscopy to treat temporomandibular joint problems with precision.

Jaw clamp (trismus)

Lockjaw, also known as trismus, is a restriction of the mouth opening that can be caused by muscle tension, joint problems or injury. This makes eating and speaking difficult. At our practice, we offer targeted treatments to treat the cause and restore the mobility of the jaw.

Jaw advancement surgery

In a mandibular advancement operation, the lower jaw is surgically moved forward to correct functional and aesthetic problems. This operation is particularly important in cases of severe mandibular advancement in order to improve jaw function and harmonize the facial profile. Our practice offers comprehensive advice and precise surgical techniques for these procedures.

Class II dysgnathia

Class II dysgnathia describes a malocclusion in which the lower jaw is set back in relation to the upper jaw, resulting in an overbite. This can cause functional problems such as difficulty chewing and speaking. At our practice, we offer specialized surgical procedures to shift the jaw forward and improve function.

Class III dysgnathia

Class III dysgnathia occurs when the lower jaw is too far forward in relation to the upper jaw, resulting in a forward bite. This often impairs chewing and speech. Our practice offers specialized surgical treatments to reposition the jaws and improve both the function and appearance of the face.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)

Obstructive sleep apnea is a sleep disorder in which the airways become blocked during sleep, leading to repeated pauses in breathing. This can lead to serious health problems such as high blood pressure and heart disease. Our practice offers customized treatment plans, including snoring splints and surgical procedures, to widen the airway and improve sleep quality.

Open bite

An open bite occurs when the upper and lower teeth in the front area do not come together, which makes chewing and speaking difficult. This misalignment can be caused by maldeveloped jaws or bad habits. Our practice offers surgical corrections to close the bite and normalize jaw function.

Salivary gland surgery is performed to treat conditions such as salivary stones, cysts or tumors that affect the function of the salivary glands. Our practice offers precise surgical procedures to treat these conditions and restore the normal function of the salivary glands.

Salivary stones

Salivary stones form when minerals accumulate in the salivary glands and block the production of saliva. This can lead to pain and swelling. At our practice, we offer specialized salivary stone removal procedures to restore normal saliva production.

Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ)

Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ) affect the temporomandibular joint and can lead to pain, clicking and limited mobility. This makes eating and speaking difficult. At our practice, we offer conservative therapies such as splints and physiotherapy as well as surgical procedures to alleviate the symptoms and restore joint function.

Deep bite

A deep bite is when the upper teeth overlap the lower teeth too deeply, which can damage the gums and lead to TMJ problems. Our practice offers surgical treatments and orthodontic measures to correct the bite and improve jaw function.

Upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS)

Upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS) is a sleep disorder in which the airways are partially blocked during sleep, resulting in increased breathing effort. In contrast to sleep apnoea, UARS does not result in complete cessation of breathing, but the constant narrowing of the airway can significantly impair the quality of sleep. Those affected often suffer from severe daytime sleepiness, headaches and difficulty concentrating. In our practice, we offer specialized treatment approaches such as snoring splints or surgical procedures to widen the airways and improve the quality of sleep in the long term.

Vertical growth syndrome

In vertical growth syndrome, the jaw grows unevenly, which often leads to an open bite and uneven distribution of the chewing load. This misalignment can make it difficult to speak and chew. We offer surgical solutions to correct jaw growth and restore the function of the jaw.

Growth disorders of the jaw

Growth disorders of the jaw often occur in childhood and adolescence and can lead to malocclusions that impair chewing and speech. Early diagnosis and treatment is crucial to prevent complications later on. Our practice offers comprehensive treatment plans to support jaw growth.

Cheekbone implants

Cheekbone implants are used to improve the volume and shape of the cheeks, often for aesthetic reasons. They help to make the face appear fuller and more youthful. In our practice, we offer customized implants that provide a natural facial shape and harmonize proportions.

Wisdom tooth removal

Wisdom teeth often have to be removed if they have no space in the jaw or are growing crookedly and displacing other teeth. This procedure is often performed to avoid infection and pain. In our practice, we offer gentle wisdom tooth removal to speed up healing and minimize post-operative discomfort.

Tooth extraction for high-risk patients

Tooth extraction in high-risk patients, such as patients with cardiovascular diseases or blood clotting disorders, requires special precautions. In our practice, we perform these procedures safely by working closely with the treating physicians to minimize risks and ensure optimal aftercare.

Tooth exposure

Tooth exposure is a surgical procedure in which hidden or ingrown teeth are exposed in order to position them orthodontically. In our practice, we perform precise tooth exposures to support the proper growth and placement of teeth.

Dental implantology

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are firmly anchored in the jawbone to permanently replace missing teeth. This method provides a stable base for crowns, bridges or dentures and restores both the function and aesthetics of the dentition. In our practice, we use the latest implant techniques to achieve optimal results and improve our patients' quality of life.

Dental implantology for high-risk patients

Dental implants in high-risk patients require special treatment strategies to avoid possible complications. In our practice, we offer adapted implantation procedures to achieve optimal results even in patients with pre-existing conditions such as diabetes or osteoporosis.

Forced bite

A forced bite occurs when the jaw is forced into an unnatural position due to misalignment. This can lead to jaw joint pain and uneven tooth wear. In our practice, we offer surgical procedures and orthodontic treatments to correct the bite and normalize jaw function.

Cysts in the jaw
