Dental hygiene

Professional teeth cleaning

Conscientious oral hygiene combined with regular check-ups can prevent tooth and gum disease.

We remove plaque, tartar and other deposits to keep your teeth healthy, clean and free of cavities. Following Guided Biofilm Therapy, we remove soft plaque and stains with AIRFLOW and tartar gently with PIEZON NO PAIN. We recommend a prophylaxis appointment every six months.

A prophylaxis session goes beyond cleaning: it includes an examination of the teeth, gums and tongue, takes personal risk factors and dietary habits into account, and gives you guidance on proper oral hygiene at home.

If you are planning a pregnancy, we recommend a visit beforehand: major dental treatments are best carried out before pregnancy, and regular cleanings during pregnancy are essential.

Air Flow

A mixture of water, air and a fine powder removes stains and soft plaque and polishes the teeth.

In the Airflow procedure, a cleaning powder made of sodium bicarbonate is added to an air-water mixture under pressure and sprayed onto the teeth. This removes stubborn bacterial plaque and stains caused by nicotine, coffee, red wine and tea – even in hard-to-reach areas.

The gums, enamel, dental restorations and implants are spared. The treatment is painless, and because no metallic cleaning instruments are used, there is no scratching noise. The result is smooth, clean and whiter teeth.

Perio Flow

A gentle procedure with glycine powder for soft plaque, root surfaces and gum pockets.

PerioFlow uses a powder based on the natural amino acid glycine. We use it for soft plaque and for cleaning more sensitive structures such as tooth root surfaces and gum pockets.

Thanks to the softer powder particles, it is gentler on soft tissue such as the gums than other methods.

Guided Biofilm Therapy

Our dental hygienists are certified in Guided Biofilm Therapy, a particularly gentle method of teeth cleaning.

Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) uses airflow devices to remove bacterial biofilm, which is often responsible for gum disease and tooth decay – gently, thoroughly and without damaging the enamel or gums. With a special 14 μm fine powder, we remove biofilm above and below the gum line as well as very young tartar, and also from the gums, tongue and palate.

We always begin with a thorough examination and tailor the treatment to your needs. GBT is particularly recommended for dental implants, orthodontic appliances and prosthetic structures. Many of our patients find it significantly more comfortable than traditional cleaning procedures.
