3D Printing & Guided Surgery (Surgical Guides)

Definition: Software-guided planning of an implantation on a 3D model, followed by in-house printing of a custom surgical guide.

Benefits: The standard at Digital Dental Arts. Every surgery is virtually simulated and performed with full navigation. This guarantees millimeter-precise adherence to the optimal implant position and minimizes surgical risks.

Digital Jaw Joint Measurement (Jaw Motion Capture)

Definition: Real-time optoelectronic recording of mandibular movements.

Benefits: Enables the creation of dental restorations that integrate perfectly and seamlessly with the body's natural functions during chewing and speaking.

Digital Occlusion Analysis

Definition: Sensor-assisted measurement of contact points and pressure distribution when biting down.

Benefits: Prevention of overloading, protection of dental restorations, and prevention of temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD).

Digital Volume Tomography (DVT)

Definition: A three-dimensional X-ray imaging technique for the 3D visualization of bony jaw structures.

Benefits: Maximum safety through precise visualization of nerve pathways with significantly reduced radiation.

Early Detection of Periodontitis

Definition: A painless, diagnostic measurement procedure for checking gum pockets and the periodontium.

Benefit: Protects against unnoticed tooth loss. Detects inflammation as it develops, before the jawbone is compromised or implants are put at risk.

FaceScan (3D facial scan)

Definition: Optical capture of facial topography and lines of facial expression.

Benefits: Perfect matching of the dental restoration to the individual smile line and overall appearance.

Full-arch reconstruction (Full-Arch)

Definition: Fixed restoration of a completely edentulous jaw with a full arch of teeth, typically supported by 4 to 6 implants.

Benefits: Replaces the traditional, removable denture with fixed teeth, eliminating the need for an artificial palate.

General Implantology

Definition: The insertion of artificial tooth roots (implants) into the jawbone to permanently and securely replace individual teeth, larger gaps, or entire rows of teeth.

Benefits: Implants prevent jawbone loss and the preparation of healthy adjacent teeth. They offer the most stable and natural foundation for modern dental restorations.

Glycine Powder Jet Method

Definition: A gentle cleaning technology for prophylaxis that uses a fine spray of water, air, and the natural amino acid glycine.

Benefits: Extremely gentle on teeth and gums. Highly effective at removing plaque while protecting sensitive tooth necks, implants, and tooth enamel.

Immediate Care

Immediate Implantation

Definition: The placement of a dental implant immediately after tooth extraction into the fresh tooth socket – in just a single session.

Benefits: You save valuable time and additional procedures. It directly utilizes the natural healing power of the jaw and prevents the unsightly loss of bone and gum tissue.

Intraoral Photogrammetry

Definition: Optical measurement method for precisely determining the position of multiple implants relative to each other in the mouth.

Benefit: Prevents mechanical tolerances and transfer errors, ensuring perfectly fitting, durable restorations.

Intraoral Scan (Digital Impression)

Definition: Three-dimensional, non-contact capture of teeth using an optical high-tech camera.

Benefits: Eliminates the gag reflex often caused by traditional impression materials. Faster, more precise data transfer to the lab.

Multi-Unit Restorations

Definition: Connecting elements for mechanically compensating implant angulations in screw-retained bridges.

Benefit: Ensures a completely passive fit of the dental prosthesis and facilitates daily cleaning.

PEEK material (high-performance plastic)

Definition: Biocompatible polymer used as a metal-free framework material in prosthetics.

Benefits: Feather-light, tasteless, and allergen-free, with bone-like elasticity for a natural chewing sensation.

Premium Dental Restorations

Definition: Dental restorations characterized by uncompromising biocompatibility (metal-free), maximum natural aesthetic integration, and consideration of individual temporomandibular joint function.

Benefits: Provides a completely natural feel in the mouth, eliminates allergic reactions, and prevents unsightly dark margins at the gumline.

Socket Seal Abutments & Immediate Temporaries (Tissue and Gum Protection)

Definition: Individually customized or printed components that are inserted directly during guided implant surgery to immediately biologically seal the alveolus (tooth socket).

Benefits: Maximum protection for your gums. The soft tissue does not collapse after tooth loss, but is optimally supported and shaped from the very first second. For the patient, this means: The natural gum line is perfectly preserved.

Telescopic Restorations (tooth-supported & removable combination)

Definition: A two-part system where fixed "inner crowns" remain on the natural teeth and the "outer crowns" are invisibly integrated into the removable denture.

Benefits: Maximum retention without visible clasps. Offers excellent aesthetics, easy cleaning, and can usually be easily extended or modified if further tooth loss occurs later.

Tooth-supported Prosthetics (Crowns & Bridges)

Definition: The replacement of destroyed dental crowns or the closing of gaps between teeth by utilizing existing, healthy adjacent teeth as abutments.

Benefits: Protects the remaining tooth structure from further decay, restores full chewing function, and is precisely color-matched to the adjacent teeth.

Zirconia (High-performance ceramic)

Definition: An extremely stable, pure white ceramic material used in modern dentistry for the production of crowns, bridges, and metal-free implants.

Benefits: The perfect combination of aesthetics and health. Zirconia is completely biocompatible (tissue-friendly), which means it does not trigger allergic reactions. Since it is translucent like a natural tooth, the dental restoration looks completely natural. Another major advantage: the material conducts neither cold nor heat, and unsightly, dark metal margins never appear at the gumline.
