Our Concept - 
optimal tailor-made
solutions

Dr. Andreas Schmich – Concept
Our Concept

As our motto says, there’s only one rational way to the integral dental health.

We follow a simple, time-proven concept in our dental practice. A comprehensive diagnostic, transparent counseling, precise planning, professional hygiene of the oral cavity, extraordinary materials, and impeccable accuracy. These are the constituents of every treatment in our practice and the only way to achieve an optimal result every time.

01

COMPREHENSIVE DIAGNOSTICS –
THE CORNERSTONE OF ANY TREATMEN

Diagnostics

As we encounter the new patients, it is our primary mission to examine the teeth and the masticatory system in general.

We do not examine a particular tooth only, even if it is the one causing a problem to the patient, but we rather treat the situation holistically. We use a precision magnifying glass to conduct a thorough examination and make a detailed mapping of your teeth - the fillings, crowns as well as the current condition of the masticatory system. We examine the oral, buccal and tongue mucosa. To detect the hidden problems, we use the X-ray scan technique. In many cases, it makes sense to examine the dental occlusion, too.

02

TRANSPARENT COUNSELING –
DECISION-MAKING BASED ON DEEP UNDERSTANDING

Counseling

We discuss with the experts every detail of your dental condition, as we provide the whole scope of information. Thus, we’d zoom in all the X-ray visuals to demonstrate them in our counseling room, and we’d illustrate the current condition of your oral cavity on an alabaster model.

We’d specify the types of temporary and permanent fillings and crowns we may recommend to you. In doing this,we strictly comply with the Provision on dental service pricing (GOZ) and we always propose an optimal medical solution, irrespective of your insurance coverage. We guarantee the transparency and give you a full picture of the treatment duration and the relevant costs and time it may take. Last but not least, we’d explain the pros and cons of other treatment alternatives.

It is then based on the provided information, that a patient decides on his preferred way and the journey he wants to undertake with us.

It is important to keep in mind that in case of pre-treated teeth, despite the X-ray and thorough examination, it is often impossible to draw finite conclusions on the teeth and roots until the restorative fillings and crowns are removed.  So, we always try to base our assumptions on the “worst case scenario” to underpromise and over-deliver nice surprises to our patients.

03

PRECISE THERAPEUTIC PLANNING –
A WELL-ORCHESTRATED WORK OF PROFESSIONALS

Planning

After you give a preference to our clinic as we provide the diagnostics and counseling, we then proceed to treatment.

There are three specialized areas in our dental practice: prevention (professional hygiene of the oral cavity), treatment and prothesis (ceramic inlays, partial crowns, crowns, veneers), dental bridgework, partial and full dentures as well as aesthetic dentistry (including teeth whitening).

In some specific cases we invite special experts for, example, to treat the root canals, to remove the teeth or for dental implanting and orthodontal correction.

In complex cases we’d refer the patients to our experienced and trustworthy Munich colleagues. We’ll align our efforts to provide you a perfect and carefully planned treatment.

We’re always in charge of planning and coordination of the entire scope of dental treatment and we conduct it to the maximum efficiency and alignment. We remain your main point of contact throughout this journey. As a result, we ensure a facilitated therapy and the best quality of life even after a long-term treatment.

04

STRUCTURED TREATMENT PLAN –
A STEP-BY-STEP JOURNEY TO HEALTHY TEETH

Treatment

We provide professional tooth hygiene before the start of every treatment in our practice. Our hygiene-specialized dentists have been trained respectively and they do the radical removal of the calculus dentalis, incrustation and bacteria and thus ensure the great health of your gums. It is only after a proper sanitation of the oral cavity that we start the dental therapy.

The top therapeutic priority, as a rule, is to treat the caries loci to prevent their propagation internally and in the neighboring teeth. As we treat it, we then use the high-quality fillings made of composite materials. They serve for up to two years and give us enough time to plan and do a permanent restoration of your teeth.

In case of root inflammations and diseases, a root canal therapy might be required. In case a tooth is severely damaged or there’s an aching wisdom tooth, a removal is required. Apart from this, we often do the orthodontic correction of the dental occlusion.

A scope like this is well-aligned and successfully tackled in coordination with our colleagues, and after that you return to our clinic where we provide permanent solutions and appliances.

05

PERMANENT SOLUTIONS FOR THE HEALTH OF YOUR TEETH –
SERVING YOU FOR DECADES

Serving

Our permanent dental solutions are exclusively based on the high-quality proven materials and enhanced technologies, as well as the supreme accuracy of appliance crafting. It is the only feasible way to ensure the dental health and a perfect aesthetic result that is fully coherent to our approach.

In our clinic we install any dental appliances only under a high-precision magnifying glass or a microscope. Thus, we ensure a perfect sealing along the perimeter to exclude any future bacterial penetration and further decay. To restore the front teeth, we deploy porcelain at high precision of crafting.

The material is semi-transparent just as the natural teeth enamel, it reproduces well the colour and cosmetic details of own teeth. The choice of porcelain for masticatory teeth is largely determined by the cosmetic affect.  Since these teeth are naturally subject to an intense masticatory load, we normally make the gold-based steel ceramic crowns with “coating”. Gold is highly resilient and is easily treated, which means a higher sealing effect.

In those cases when several teeth are missing and it is impossible to implant, the classical prothesis is still a good option.

Modern prothesis have great aesthetics and reliable fitting, so that even the removable appliances don’t look like something dismantlable.

06

MagnifiDent –
THE TOP-NOTCH DENTAL PROSTHETIC EQUIPMENT IN OUR IN-HOUSE LABORATORY

MagnifiDent

The dental prosthetic appliances are mostly crafted in our professional in-house laboratory. For many years, we’ve been working hand in hand with the dental technicians from MagnifiDent dental prosthetic laboratory located next door.

From time planning to hue selection, adjustment, fitting or a quick coordination - due to an enhanced cooperation and proximity, facilitated logistics, reliable quality assurance and a perfect medical and cosmetic result, our patients are greatly benefiting from our partnership.

07

ORAL CAVITY HYGIENE – 
THE ESSENTIALS OF SUCCESS

Oral cavity hygiene

Tooth enamel is the most robust thing in the human body. Despite this, the teeth (as well as the fillings, crowns, implants and prothesis) are durable to the daily mechanical load only if they are duly taken care of. And that is why we need your help in preserving your teeth.

The most important thing you can do on your own is to brush your teeth daily (2-3 times a day) in a correct way as well as do threading every night, by using dental threads or special interproximal brushes. The quality care will help you, indeed, to keep your teeth healthy almost lifetime.

Since, even with the most meticulous cleaning, you won't be able to reach the most tricky subgingival parts, try to visit a dentist two-three times a year for cavity hygiene. This is in line with the guidelines of the German Dental Association. It has also been proven in numerous research projects that following these rules will significantly reduce the risk periodontitis and caries.

Our hygiene-specialized dentists have been trained respectively, so during a 60-90-minute appointment, they do the thorough removal of the calculus dentalis, incrustation and bacteria. They’ll also counsel you on some details of tooth brushing and recommend you the optimal frequency of next preventive visits. You’ll get a personal reminder of your next visit.

08

Pedodontics – 
NO FUTURE PROBLEMS WITH TEETH

Pedodontics

We are not a specialized pediatric dental practice, but we are happy to welcome patients at any age. We do not have a play corner in the waiting area (remember, our clients do not normally wait to be seen) and we do not show cartoons in our therapeutic rooms. But we’ll always give supportive prizes to our young patients. The young FC Bayern- fans are especially excited about them!

And yet, something that matters more is that we are as welcoming, caring and professional about our young patients, as we are to the adults. So, they always return with pleasure and no fear. We can also provide the opinion on the optimal time of the first orthodontic correction for your child.  We’d be happy to refer you to a trusted experienced pediatric orthodontist for counseling.

Help your children to master the right dental care as soon as possible, make it habitual to do the regular preventive check-ups. And then, visiting the dentist throughout life from the first days and onwards, will be something easy and positive to do.

For, healthy teeth are a promise of stable and high quality of life, and they should be taken care of from the earliest years.
