Dental treatments at Karamousli Dental Practice in Küsnacht (ZH)
As a dental practice for the whole family, we want to help anyone interested to understand dental treatment procedures more clearly and in greater depth. That is why we talk you through the details of individual techniques, so that you are a well-informed patient.
Prevention and preserving your teeth
Dental hygiene
Good care at home prevents a lot, but it does not remove all deposits. Hard tartar, for example, is removed during professional dental hygiene (DH), which consists of several steps.
Periodontology
Periodontology deals with the tissues that support the teeth. Gum diseases such as periodontitis can weaken them and, in the worst case, lead to tooth loss. The aim is to detect and treat them early.
Amalgam replacement
Amalgam is no longer recommended today, as there are better and more attractive alternatives. We can gently remove old amalgam fillings and replace them with modern, tooth-coloured fillings.
Laser treatment of tooth decay
Treating tooth decay with a laser is gentle and precise, and also suits anxious patients. The laser works minimally invasively, so less tooth substance is removed and aftercare is simpler.
Root canal treatments
Root canal treatment requires precision and experience. After a careful diagnosis, we clean and disinfect the root canals and seal them tightly. An X-ray shows whether the canal has been fully treated.
Digital X-ray
Digital X-rays need less radiation than conventional film X-rays and require no film development or chemicals. We take single images and panoramic images of the whole jaw in one step.
Tooth replacement and oral surgery
CEREC
Using a digital scan and CAD/CAM technology, we can often make inlays, crowns and bridges in a single visit. This shortens treatment time, and the ceramic is precisely matched to the shape and function of your teeth.
Crowns & ceramic fillings
A crown restores a badly damaged tooth when a filling or inlay is no longer enough. We make crowns from ceramic for a natural look and fix them permanently onto the prepared tooth.
Dental implants
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root in the jawbone. It carries a crown, bridge or denture and creates a firm connection between jaw and replacement tooth – for good function and a natural look.
Full mouth reconstruction
A full mouth reconstruction restores teeth that look good and work fully. Depending on the situation, we combine crowns, bridges, fillings, implants, veneers, inlays or onlays.
Wisdom teeth
Wisdom teeth can encourage decay and, when space is short or they grow at an angle, push neighbouring teeth out of place. It then makes sense to remove them – usually as an outpatient, ideally at a younger age, when wounds heal faster.
Tooth alignment and aesthetics
Orthodontics
Orthodontics detects and treats misaligned teeth and jaws – such as crooked teeth, gaps, or an overbite or underbite. Which method suits you depends on your age, circumstances and findings.
Invisalign
Invisalign corrects misaligned teeth with clear, removable aligners. As an Invisalign Gold partner, we plan the treatment with a digital 3D scan – for children and teenagers too.
Ceramic veneers
Ceramic veneers are wafer-thin ceramic shells that are bonded onto the front teeth. They cover chipped or discoloured teeth, for example. No-prep veneers require no grinding.
Bleaching
Not all bleaching is the same: many home products promise white teeth. We offer professional bleaching that is gentle on enamel and gums and tailored to your wishes – just ask us.
Digital Smile Design
With Digital Smile Design, you see your future smile on screen before treatment begins. We take teeth, lips and face into account so the result looks natural – especially with veneers or Invisalign.
For children and anxious patients
Children & families
Check-ups, teeth cleaning, tooth decay prevention and fillings for children and the whole family. For the school dental check-up, we accept vouchers from all municipalities.
Anxious patients
You are not alone with your fear – and we are there for you before, during and after treatment. We get to know you first, advise you calmly and only treat you once we have agreed. Anxiety-relieving options are available if needed.
