The Foundation: Complex Implantology in a Straumann Centre of Excellence
We do not experiment when it comes to high-end dental rehabilitation. As a certified Straumann Centre of Excellence, we utilize world-leading implant systems.
- Roxolid® & SLActive®: We use high-performance materials designed to heal quickly and offer maximum stability even when bone availability is limited.
- 3D-Navigated Surgery: We manufacture your surgical guides directly in-house. This ensures maximum safety and a precise, direct implementation of the digital plan.
Digital Aesthetics: Veneers and “Digital Smile Design”
A perfect smile requires meticulous attention to detail. We combine high-tech planning with the finest craftsmanship to meet the highest aesthetic standards.
- Custom Veneers: Ultra-thin ceramic shells permanently correct tooth shapes and discolorations. Thanks to our digital planning, these integrate perfectly into your natural row of teeth.
- Digital Smile Design: Using the RayFace 200, we create a virtual twin of your face. You can see the final result of your rehabilitation or veneers on the screen before we take the first step.
- Backward Planning: We plan from the perfect tooth crown or veneer backward to the implant position. This provides for an absolutely natural appearance and optimal function.
Efficiency and Excellence: Saving Time via In-House Manufacturing
Time is often the most valuable asset for our Swiss patients. Our focus on digital processes minimizes your trips across the border:
- In-House CAD/CAM Production: We manufacture your permanent all-ceramic crowns, bridges, and aligner trays (Invisalign) directly in our own laboratory.
- Robotic Precision: For the perfect finish following orthodontic corrections, we use our own bending robot for fixed retainers.
- Fast Results: By eliminating external shipping routes, we massively reduce the overall treatment duration. Adjustments can often be made immediately on-site.
The Economic Advantage of Full-Mouth Rehabilitations
For extensive procedures such as full-mouth rehabilitations or multiple implants, the cost advantage of treatment in Germany is significant.
- Billing according to GOZ: We bill strictly according to the guidelines of the German fee schedule for dentists (GOZ). Compared to Swiss tariffs, this fee structure offers significant savings potential for complex treatments without compromising quality.
- Attractive Price-Performance Ratio: The fee structure in Germany allows us to offer high-end materials and state-of-the-art technology at total costs that are often significantly below Swiss levels for large rehabilitations.
- VAT Information: While dental services in Germany are tax-exempt, an export certificate can be issued for the material portion (restorations) for the refund of German VAT. Please observe the applicable import regulations and Swiss VAT upon your return.
- Additional Tax Advantage in Switzerland: Did you know that you can claim extensive dental treatments as “medical expenses” on your Swiss tax return? Since high-end rehabilitations often exceed the threshold for the cantonal deductible (usually 5% of net income), a significant portion of the costs may be deducted from your taxable income. This further reduces your effective investment in your new smile. We recommend consulting your tax advisor to confirm the specific tax implications and deductibility for your individual situation and canton.
