For Patients

Personalized Care, Transparent Procedures, and the Highest Hygiene Standards in Oral Surgery in Berlin

A surgical treatment often raises many questions for many patients. This makes it more important for us to support you from the very beginning with clarity, expe­ri­ence, and a sense of security. You can rely on indi­vi­dua­lized care and a calm, depen­dable practice orga­niza­tion at our practice in Berlin-Friedenau – from the initial consul­ta­tion to aftercare. This also includes the highest level of safety: We operate according to the strictest hygiene standards. Proce­dures are performed under strictly controlled condi­tions, combining modern tech­no­logy with the utmost care.

Important Information Regarding Oral Surgical Procedures

Before every procedure, all our patients receive an indi­vi­dua­lized digital infor­ma­tion sheet. Each sheet also contains a corre­spon­ding leaflet summa­ri­zing the most important guide­lines for behavior before and after the procedure – allowing you to review the instruc­tions at any time and prepare for the procedure with confi­dence.

In our FAQ section, we answer the most frequently asked questions about referrals, proce­dures, anes­thesia, and aftercare – concisely and under­stan­d­ably. For any questions, we at IMPLA·VIO are, of course, also perso­nally available to you at any time.

Can I receive a non-binding consul­ta­tion for dental implant treatment?

Yes, with a referral, you can schedule an appoint­ment for a non-binding consul­ta­tion at any time. We look forward to meeting you and, if necessary, will create an indi­vi­dual treatment plan together with your dentist. This does not oblige you to anything. Upon request, you will receive a surgical cost estimate. Please note: Certain consul­ta­tions are private services and are not covered by statutory health insurance.

What about other oral surgical treat­ments?

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

Do I need a referral from my dentist?

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.

What should I bring to the consul­ta­tion appoint­ment, and what are the next steps after the consul­ta­tion?

Please bring your insurance card and, if you are privately insured, your ID card, as well as any current X‑rays, relevant reports, and a list of your medi­ca­tions. We will provide you with an indi­vi­dua­lized treatment plan and, upon request, a surgical cost estimate or an agreement for addi­tional costs. If you decide to proceed with the surgery, you can schedule the appoint­ment directly at the practice or by phone. Surgical appoint­ments cannot be booked via our online appoint­ment tool.

How can I best prepare for the surgical procedure?
  • 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.
What steps does the treatment involve, and how is the process struc­tured?

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 usually heals into the jawbone within three to six months. A gentle surgical technique promotes the healing process. After complete healing and implant exposure by us, your general dentist will manage the fabri­ca­tion and placement of the dental prosthesis, e.g., a crown, bridge, or denture.
What should I consider after the surgical procedure?
  • 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.
What forms of anes­thesia do you offer?

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.
Is a partial payment agreement possible for private services?

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