The Department of Adult and Pediatric Dentistry, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the Clinic for Dentistry and Maxillofacial Surgery Adentes Sankt Augustin offers the full range of medical services in these fields. The specialization of the medical facility includes implantology, oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics, endodontics, periodontics, aesthetic dentistry, pediatric dentistry and other areas. The dental practice uses state-of-art diagnostic X-ray devices, which provide the best possible protection from radiation for the patient. In addition, the department has the cutting-edge laser technologies, which greatly simplify the therapeutic process, reduce the treatment time and accelerate the healing of wounds.
The department is headed by Dr. med. Dr. med. dent. Martin Sperling. The specialist has rich clinical experience and high treatment success rates. He is has special qualifications in oral and maxillofacial surgery, implantology and bone augmentation surgery, as well as in prosthetic dentistry, 3D X-ray diagnostics and orthodontics.
All the necessary dental examinations are carried out in a 3D X-ray room. The room has state-of-the-art medical equipment, which provides the best possible accuracy and effective protection against radiation. In addition to such standard methods as intraoral, panoramic (2D) images and teleroentgenography, the department also offers digital volume tomography. This technique is a 3D imaging method with X-rays. In dentistry, it is mainly used in surgical planning and implant placement to prevent complications due to individual anatomical features.
The important focus of the department's work is dental implantology, which is an excellent alternative to classic dental prosthetics, particularly, the placement of bridges or dentures. The doctors use titanium implants in their practice, which are characterized by long-term usage and good biocompatibility with bone tissue. If necessary, during the process of preparation for implant placement, a preliminary intervention for bone augmentation can be performed. The process of implant placement and its integration into the bone tissue (osseointegration) takes about 12 weeks in case of lower jaw surgery and about 16 weeks in case of upper jaw surgery.
The patients with medical contraindications for implantation or unwillingness to install implants are offered a number of other methods. In particular, the department achieves top-class functional and aesthetic results due to the use of non-metal ceramics. The department's doctors also specialize in dental restoration and use the very latest technologies, as well as the most sparing and accurate treatment methods.
The tasks of the department's dentists also include root canal treatment (endodontics), which serves to preserve the patient's own teeth. Root canal treatment is often the only way to maintain an affected tooth. To this end, the specialists have in their arsenal all the modern techniques and advanced devices. For example, the department widely uses a special dental microscope, which allows the doctor to examine the internal structure of the tooth and use more accurate and potentially more successful treatments.
In addition, the department has created excellent conditions for the treatment of young patients. The professional, specially trained team of doctors makes every effort to ensure only the pleasant memories for the child after visiting the dentist. The specialists have many methods, which were developed specifically for children. The main goal of pediatric dentistry is to preserve oral health of the child throughout his life. The department also developed a special preventive program for dental health protection in children. It includes such aspects as the selection of a proper toothbrush and toothpaste, nutrition counseling, professional dental cleaning, etc.
