Preventive care / professional teeth cleaning in Leipzig

Dental prophylaxis encompasses all measures taken to prevent tooth and gum disease. The focus is on professional teeth cleaning, which is much more thorough than daily dental care at home. This involves removing stubborn deposits, plaque, and calculus, which often cannot be completely removed even with the most careful oral hygiene at home.
At our modern dentistry practice, we use innovative Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) for prophylaxis in Leipzig.  
Prophylaxis also includes a thorough examination of the oral cavity, individual advice on optimal oral care, and, if necessary, the application of fluoride to protect the tooth enamel.

The first step in EMS Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is to stain the teeth to make the plaque situation visible. This process helps us to precisely identify the affected areas and treat them in a targeted manner. We then use gentle Airflow powder and gentle ultrasound to clean the teeth in a minimally invasive manner. This method ensures maximum efficiency and safety, while at the same time providing you with maximum comfort.

At our dental practice in Leipzig, we use state-of-the-art technology to optimally monitor and maintain your dental health. Our comprehensive check-up combines digital X-rays and advanced laser fluorescence technology to detect Caries and other dental damage at an early stage – with minimal radiation exposure.The latest generation of digital X-rays provides high-resolution images that allow us to detect even the smallest changes in your teeth. This is complemented by laser fluorescence technology, which makes invisible damage visible and thus ensures a precise diagnosis.

Another milestone in our diagnostics is the use of a state-of-the-art intraoral scanner. With this device, we digitally record your dental findings, allowing us to closely monitor tooth wear and other changes over a long period of time. This digital recording offers numerous advantages: your dental data is securely stored for the future, enabling seamless monitoring of your dental health.In addition, we can use this digital data to create a comprehensive simulation of your aesthetic and symmetrical "dream smile" – even before the actual treatment begins. This allows you to get an accurate picture of the possible results in advance and work with us to make the best decisions for your dental health.

Before treatment
‍Before we begin the actual prophylaxis, we conduct a detailed consultation to understand your individual needs. Our dentist Dr. Niels Hoffmann or one of our specialized prophylaxis specialists will take the time to answer your questions and explain the procedure. For first-time patients, we take a detailed medical history and assess your current oral health status. We use state-of-the-art diagnostic procedures such as digital X-rays and laser fluorescence technology to detect even hidden problems at an early stage.

‍During treatment
‍First, we stain your teeth to make plaque and deposits visible. This visualization not only aids targeted cleaning, but also provides feedback on the effectiveness of your dental care at home. We then remove the stained deposits using the gentle Airflow procedure. If necessary, stubborn calculus is removed using gentle ultrasound. After thorough cleaning, we polish your teeth to smooth the surfaces and make it more difficult for new deposits to form. Finally, if necessary, we apply a fluoride preparation to strengthen the enamel and make the teeth more resistant to acid attacks.

‍After treatment
‍‍After the teeth cleaning in Leipzig, we discuss the results with you and give you individual recommendations for optimizing your dental care at home. We advise you on suitable toothbrushes, toothpaste, interdental brushes, or dental floss and demonstrate the correct use if necessary. Finally, we make an appointment for the next prophylaxis session, the interval of which we tailor to your personal risk profile.
