Your Questions –
For Patients

Yes, with a referral, you can schedule an appoint­ment for a non-binding consul­ta­tion at any time – we look forward to meeting you. In order to reliably assess your situation and provide you with a concrete treatment recom­men­da­tion, we deli­bera­tely take time for a thorough exami­na­tion, an indi­vi­dual evalua­tion of your initial situation, and the subse­quent profes­sional consul­ta­tion. The appoint­ment therefore goes signi­fi­cantly beyond a standard consul­ta­tion and forms the medical foun­da­tion for further planning. On this basis, we will, if necessary, develop an indi­vi­dual treatment plan together with your dentist. This does not oblige you to anything; rather, it serves as a basis for your decision-making. Upon request, you will also receive a surgical cost estimate. Consul­ta­tion in connec­tion with implan­to­lo­gical treatment is a private service and is generally not covered by statutory health insurance. Since it includes a compre­hen­sive exami­na­tion and indi­vi­dual medical assess­ment, the corre­spon­ding services are billed privately.

Every oral surgical treatment is preceded by a preli­mi­nary discus­sion, including compre­hen­sive infor­ma­tion. After­wards, you are welcome to schedule a surgical appoint­ment.

Yes. Please bring a referral or a referral card with your dentist’s desired treatment proposal. Based on this, we will coor­di­nate the further procedure closely with the referring practice and jointly develop a tailored treatment plan for you.

Please arrive 15 minutes before your appoint­ment and bring your insurance card and, if you have private insurance, your ID card, as well as any recent X‑rays, relevant medical reports, and a list of your medi­ca­tions, if available. If you do not have your most recent X‑rays with you, please ask your regular dentist to send them to us before your appoint­ment. Unfort­u­na­tely, it is not possible to provide sound advice without recent X‑rays. If you do not have any recent X‑rays, we’d be happy to take one at our office. We’ll provide you with a perso­na­lized treatment plan and, upon request, a surgical cost estimate or an agreement regarding addi­tional costs. If you decide to proceed with the procedure, you can schedule your appoint­ment in person or by phone. Surgery appoint­ments cannot be booked through our online sche­du­ling tool.

• Wear comfor­table clothing that you feel good in.
• Brush your teeth thoroughly again before the appoint­ment.
• Avoid caffeinated beverages and do not take blood-thinning medi­ca­tions, or only do so in consul­ta­tion with your doctor.
• Arrive as well-rested as possible – for proce­dures under sedation or general anes­thesia, please fast, as instructed.
• For proce­dures under sedation or general anes­thesia, you will need an escort for your journey home.
• Allow suffi­cient time for recovery.

Our treat­ments – whether in implan­to­logy, peri­odontal surgery, or oral surgery – follow a struc­tured plan with indi­vi­dua­lized care. Each treatment course is unique and is based on your initial condition and thera­peutic goal. Below, is an outline of an exemplary process for implant treatment:

• Initially, we conduct a personal consul­ta­tion, clarify your medical history, and use modern 3D imaging for precise diagno­stics. Based on this, we discuss treatment options together and create an indi­vi­du­ally tailored treatment plan with a cost estimate.
• Implant placement is performed with the aid of computer-assisted 3D planning. This allows the procedure to be conducted safely and minimally inva­si­vely – under local anes­thesia and, if desired, under sedation or general anes­thesia.
• The implant typically inte­grates into the jawbone within three to six months. A minimally invasive surgical technique promotes the healing process. Once healing is complete and we have exposed the implant, your regular dentist will take over the fabri­ca­tion and placement of the dental resto­ra­tion, such as a crown, bridge, or denture.

• Rest! Please avoid physical exertion and sports for a few days.
• On the day of the procedure, avoid hot food and drinks if possible. Do not eat while the local anes­thetic is still active (approx. 2–3 hours).
• Smoking can also impair the healing process – please refrain from it for at least 24 hours.
• After the procedure, regularly cool your cheek from the outside to prevent swelling. Wrap a cold pack in a towel to protect your skin from the cold.

Depending on the procedure and personal needs, we offer three forms of anes­thesia:

• Local anes­thesia is a regional anes­thetic that only affects the direct surgical area. It is suitable for outpa­tient oral surgical proce­dures and allows you to leave the practice inde­pendently after­wards.
• Intra­ve­nous sedation (twilight sleep) provides deep rela­xa­tion. You remain conscious but expe­ri­ence the procedure calmly and stress-free.
• General anes­thesia is performed in colla­bo­ra­tion with an expe­ri­enced anes­the­sio­lo­gist, with whom you will have a detailed infor­ma­tional discus­sion before­hand. You will sleep throug­hout the entire procedure and will be profes­sio­nally monitored and cared for.

Depending on the chosen form of anes­thesia, you should consider the following points when preparing for the procedure:

• Local Anes­thesia
  Please arrive well-nourished for your appoint­ment. To avoid acci­dental injury, do not eat after the procedure if the anes­thesia is active.
• Sedation (Twilight Sleep)
  Please do not eat for 4 hours before­hand, and only consume still water for 2 hours before­hand. Arrange for an escort to pick you up after the procedure.
• General Anes­thesia
  Remain fasted for 6 hours before the procedure – this applies to food, drink, and smoking. A small amount of still water, sipped, is permitted. Please also note any specific instruc­tions from the anes­thesia team, as these may indi­vi­du­ally deviate from general recom­men­da­tions. Arrange for an escort to accompany you home in good time.

Yes, under certain condi­tions, you can arrange a partial payment agreement with our billing service provider. Please contact Medical Care­Ca­pital directly for this.
