in Zurich HB
Aesthetic dentistry takes care of that part of dentistry where cosmetics and dental aesthetics are at the forefront. Many patients feel the need to make their teeth more beautiful, straighter and brighter.
For many, having an attractive smile is important both for personal and professional reasons. Thankfully there are several ways we can achieve that longterm award winning smile.
To start off with, a detailed analysis and conversation takes place in order to determine expectations and individual treatment options. Not every aesthetic dental procedure is suitable for every patient. Therefore, we offer a individual approach taking into account expectations, finances, and technical possibilities in order to ensure a healthy and long term smile.
Our goal is to always give preference to minimally invasive treatment and, above all, long-term dental health must always be in the foreground.

Bleaching at your dentist at Zurich HB
A professional teeth whitening or bleaching is a popular treatment that gives the teeth a brilliant white again. The use of a chemically activated hydrogen peroxide gel during the treatment removes stubborn discoloration, which is caused, for example, by the consumption of black or green tea, coffee or tobacco. The peroxides discolor the color molecules that are trapped in the tooth structure without changing the tooth structure. If the teeth are crowned or there are many fillings on the teeth, especially in the front, it must be clarified whether the bleaching can be successful. The quality of the tooth enamel is also crucial for a perfect result. Before the bleaching, the tooth substance and existing fillings are checked in order to be able to predict what the right treatment method is for the given case. Based on very good long-term experience, we use the product Opalescence for direct (chair side) and indirect bleaching (home bleaching). https://www.opalescence.com/de
The direct - or chair side bleaching - achieves an immediately visible result in a one-hour treatment in our practice. The teeth are whitened at least two to many shades, the differences result from the structure of the tooth enamel. In order to keep the teeth lighter in the long term, we recommend home bleaching with splints after direct bleaching. Here the patient gets individually adapted splints with which he can apply the whitening product himself at home. If the desired result is achieved, the patient can stop the therapy at any time.
If the patient wants to repeat the bleaching at a later point in time, they can use the existing splints and purchase the product directly from us in our practice. We advise against various freely commercially available agents because, as mentioned, prior clarification is essential to avoid irreparable damage to your teeth.
Veneers / Ceramic shells
In recent years, aesthetic changes using veneers have grown in popularity enormously. It is the method preferred by many movie stars to get an aesthetic result over the long term. The veneers are wafer-thin ceramic shells that are permanently applied to the teeth to correct the shape, color and position of the teeth. The advantage is that the teeth then have a completely natural appearance, because the veneers, done correctly, absolutely imitate the natural tooth.
Depending on the extent of the desired correction, your teeth only need to be ground a little or not at all. With a precise analysis and the perfect choice of color with the dental technician, veneers can also be made on individual teeth in order to achieve a minimally invasive aesthetic result. A combination of bleaching and two to four veneers is often sufficient to achieve a radiant, beautiful and natural smile. Our long experience in this area guarantees you a perfect result.
Correction of tooth mal positions
With orthodontic measures, the position of your teeth can be changed without having to grind them. They are used there when the deformities are large, for example with veneers, or when the teeth are still growing.
Orthodontic treatments are possible in both children and adults. In our practice, an external, experienced specialist dentist for orthodontics is available for advice and treatment.
