FAQ
Depending on how much tooth substance is missing, an inlay or a larger onlay is enough. If the tooth is so badly damaged that a filling can no longer fix the problem, a crown covers it.
No. We match the colour of the inlay to your teeth, and it does not change over time. In the long run a ceramic inlay is also more stable than a filling.

Usually not. Where necessary, we use local anaesthesia. For anxious patients we also offer treatment under general anaesthesia.
In Switzerland, dental treatment is usually not covered by basic health insurance. Many supplementary insurance plans contribute – we will gladly prepare a cost estimate for you to submit.
Usually within the same week – and on the same day if you are in pain. We offer emergency treatment Monday to Saturday until 21:00.
