  • What are dental implants?

    Dental implants are artificial titanium roots that are inserted into the patient's jawbone to support the new, fixed teeth.

  • How are they used?

    Implants are inserted in a single session under local anesthesia. For patients who are more anxious or anxious about the procedure, anesthesia may be combined with sedation. Do not hesitate to ask the dentist about this possibility.

  • Is it painful?

    It is common for patients to be unsure whether the procedure is painful or not, but the truth is that it is completely painless.

  • How many implants do I need?

    To know how many implants a patient needs, a clinical and radiological examination must be carried out, after which we determine the number of implants necessary.

  • How long do implants last?

    Of course, this depends on the daily care and regular maintenance of the implants.

  • Is there an age limit for inserting implants?

    No. Age is not a deciding factor when it comes to inserting implants. The clinical and radiological examinations provide information about whether a patient is suitable for implants or not.

  • Can implants be placed if the patient is taking ADIRO, SINTRÓN or similar medications?

    Yes, there is an action protocol for this type of patient. The day before surgery, usual medication is replaced with heparin, and the day after surgery, the patient resumes his usual medication.

  • Can implants be placed in a patient with osteoporosis?

    Yes, indeed a very high percentage of our patients suffer from osteoporosis. However, in these cases, the implantologist's surgical skills and good diagnosis and planning are more important than the patient's physical characteristics.

  • Are implants rejected?

    Implants go through a process called osseointegration. Only in 1.5% of cases does integration fail, but in these cases an implant can be reinserted after the healing process.

  • Mouths with little bone...

    Today, a jaw with little bone is quite compatible with implants. Implantology has made great strides in recent years and the aggressive techniques that used bone from the hip, chin or shin are now outdated.

  • How much will the treatment cost me?

    The price of each treatment varies from patient to patient and depends on the number of teeth lost, the quality of the jawbone and the type of future tooth replacement.

  • What is periodontitis?

    Periodontology is a specialty of dentistry that deals with the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of gum disease.

  • What is Gingivitis?

    Gingivitis is the inflammation and bleeding of the gums due to bacteria and tartar. It is reversible. When the bacteria are eliminated, the gums become less inflamed. Therefore, in this case, a teeth cleaning in a clinic is the appropriate treatment.

  • What is periodontal disease or periodontitis?

    It is an infectious disease of bacterial origin. The gums become inflamed and periodontal pockets form, where bacteria invade the tissue and bone, destroying it and losing the supporting tissue of the tooth.

  • What are the symptoms?

    One of the first symptoms of periodontal disease is spontaneous bleeding, redness and swelling of the gums.

  • What does the progression of the disease depend on?

    From the genetic predisposition of the patient, and it is also aggravated by the following factors:

  • How is the disease treated?

    First, a thorough investigation of the case is carried out, which includes:

SmileDesign

An open smile is understood all over the world. No matter what language is spoken, no matter what culture you live in - a smile represents joy, a good mood and trust in others. It is one of the most important human signals. Unfortunately, there are many people who are not able to smile or laugh carefree because they are not satisfied with their teeth or are even ashamed. That doesn't have to be the case! We'll show you in just a few minutes how your smile can change for the better...

All-on-4®

Moving teeth or loose dentures that prevent you from eating properly not only limit your quality of life, they can also endanger your health. Such a condition is no longer unchangeable today: even older and very old people have been able to benefit from the treatment recommended by my predecessor in practice, the Bern dentist Dr. Philippe Ledermann, developed the bar method in 1977: “Fixed teeth in one day”. But the “all-on-4®” method, which has been known for around 15 years, is also possible in many cases. Preoperative 3D X-rays and gentle keyhole surgery techniques, also under general anesthesia if desired, are a matter of course for us. The in-house master dental laboratory completes the offer for you.

Pediatric Dentistry

Children's first exposure to dentistry is important because it will shape their lifelong relationship with oral health.


It is our responsibility to make this experience positive. That's why children find an environment specially created for them in our practice and specialist staff who specialize in pediatric dentistry and who know how to treat and care for them like the kings of the house.

Invisalign -

invisible orthodontics

In our practice we work with leading brands for invisible orthodontics.

Aligner therapy is a very safe and effective system.

  • WHAT IS INVISIBLE ORTHODONTICS or INVISALIGN?

    It is a procedure for correcting tooth and bone misalignments using transparent aligners.

  • HOW DOES ALIGNER THERAPY WORK?

    We first create a treatment plan for the patient. This is a virtual treatment plan in 3D. This shows the expected movements of the teeth during treatment so that the patient can see the final result before treatment begins.

  • CAN THEY BE INSERTED AND REMOVED?

    The aligners can be removed at any time, allowing patients to eat whatever they want, maintain good oral hygiene, and remove them for short periods of time during special occasions such as weddings or important meetings. However, for the treatment to be effective, we recommend wearing the aligners 22 hours per day.

  • HOW LONG WILL THE TREATMENT TAKE?

    The aligner treatment time required to complete treatment depends on the individual and the complexity of the dental problem. We usually assess them during the first visit to the clinic.

  • IS THE TREATMENT SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE?

    We will tell you if your case is suitable for this technique, but virtually all cases can be solved with invisible orthodontics.

  • DOES IT PAIN?

    It's not painful. Some people may temporarily experience a slight discomfort, a feeling of pressure, in the first few days with a new aligner. This is a sign that the aligners are working well and are gradually moving the teeth. This discomfort usually disappears within a few days.

  • HOW LONG DO ORTHODONTIC CHECKS TAKE AT THE DENTIST?

    Invisible orthodontics with aligners requires less time in the treatment room than other orthodontic systems because there are no adjustments or changes to be made to the archwires.

Treatment of snoring

Snoring causes health problems and sleep disorders. In some cases, it can even lead to sleep apnea syndrome, that is, pauses in breathing during sleep, making recovery difficult and affecting quality of life.


At the Implant Center Bern we offer a solution to this problem with the help of a mandibular protrusion splint (UPS). This device, inserted into the mouth, changes the position of the jaw and tongue, facilitating the passage of air, thus solving the problem of snoring without the need for surgical intervention.


This service is largely reimbursed by the compulsory health insurance company.

Temporomandibular joint disorders

If you suffer from headaches, dizziness, earaches, back pain, neck pain, or facial and jaw discomfort, you may have this disorder.


As a rule, temporomandibular joint disorders cannot be traced back to a single cause, but to several. One of them is "bruxism", which affects more than 30% of the population and is a habit of clenching or grinding one's teeth for non-functional reasons. Some of the causes can be stress or nervousness.


We treat this habit with various coordinated measures to correct it and thus avoid discomfort and tooth fractures.

Teeth whitening

External brightening


The treatment consists of a single session in which a gel is applied to the teeth and activated by cold LED light.


Whitening does not cause problems for the teeth, but it must be done correctly.


It is an aesthetic treatment with which we achieve a harmonious smile for the patient, eliminating stains and discolorations that may have arisen and restoring an appropriate color to the teeth.


Internal lightening


After endodontic treatment, it is common for teeth to become discolored and darker. With internal whitening we can try to restore the original tooth color in two or three sessions.

Crown lengthening

This is a microsurgical procedure that solves the problem of gums that are too long, giving the impression of teeth that are too short. In other words, with this technique we manage to expose the tooth and make it appear longer.

Gum transplants

In cases where the gums recede and the tooth root is exposed, causing an aesthetic defect and increased tooth sensitivity, we use this treatment.

Teeth in 24 hours

In the past, after the implants were inserted, there was a healing period of 4 to 8 months during which the patient had to wear a removable prosthesis or, alternatively, was edentulous.


Today, in most cases, we can place permanent teeth on implants in less than 24 hours.

Dental aesthetics and veneers

Our practice also specializes in dental aesthetics and strives for naturalness and harmony in your face.


At the ImplantatZentrum Bern we use all the techniques available in dentistry to make your smile your best business card.

  • Porcelain veneers

    Porcelain veneers are more or less thin ceramic shells that are custom-made in the laboratory and given the desired size, color and shape. These veneers cover the entire front of the tooth, virtually preserving the integrity of the original teeth.

  • Composite veneer shells

    It is a simple, painless and non-aggressive aesthetic treatment suitable for teeth with irregular shapes, interdental spaces, teeth of different sizes, etc.

  • Porcelain crowns

    At the Implant Center Bern we use porcelain crowns, which are usually manufactured individually for you in our own laboratory. These are designed and manufactured on a computer, allowing for a perfect fit.

  • Closing gaps between teeth

    When the gums recede or the teeth shift, unsightly gaps, also known as “black triangles,” can appear between the teeth.

  • Digital Smile Design

    With Digital Smile Design technology, the patient can see what their smile will look like before the dental treatment we plan begins.

Zygoma-Implants

Until a few years ago, patients with little bone in their upper jaw had to undergo very aggressive surgery with hip, chin or shin bone transplants if they wanted implants. Nowadays, thanks to advances in dentistry, new techniques have been developed to solve this problem. The technique consists of placing the implants in the dense bone of the cheekbone, allowing a perfect anchoring to restore the mouth quickly, safely, predictably and with strong teeth from day one. This technique has a success rate of 94% to 100%.

Teeth in 1 hour

We have combined computer technology and X-rays to achieve the most modern technology in implantology.


What does the procedure consist of?


The patient is scanned and at the Implant Center Bern we enter the scanner data into a computer program that gives us a three-dimensional view of the jawbone. We use this computer program to plan the implants and insert them virtually.


We send this information via email to our own laboratory or to a laboratory in the USA that creates a high-precision template using the same data.


With this template we can place the implants in the same position as planned, and best of all without having to open the gums.


In addition, thanks to this high-precision template we can prepare the teeth before inserting the implants, so in less than an hour we can insert the implants and the teeth without opening the gums, and therefore without pain, bruising or inflammation.


Perfect for people with little time, this technique significantly reduces dental visits without affecting work life or other activities.
