Prophylaxis

Gentle, professional cleaning and individual prevention – supporting your long-term oral health.

Icon Prophylaxis

Healthy teeth begin with consistent prevention. Our professional cleaning (PZR) removes stubborn deposits, discolouration and bacterial biofilm even in hard-to-reach areas – thoroughly yet gently. It is complemented by a structured risk analysis that assesses your personal risk of caries and periodontitis and forms the basis for a tailored prevention plan.

Our approach

We follow a graduated prophylaxis concept: after the cleaning you receive concrete recommendations for home care as well as an individually defined recall interval. This means changes are detected early and elaborate follow-up treatments can often be avoided.

FAQ

How often should I come for prophylaxis?

As a rule we recommend two appointments per year. If your risk is elevated – for example after periodontitis treatment – we define individual, shorter intervals.

Is professional cleaning painful?

The treatment is usually low in pain. If needed we can locally anaesthetise sensitive areas or treat them especially gently.

Does my health insurance cover the cost?

Professional cleaning is usually a private or supplementary service. Many supplementary insurances contribute a share – we inform you transparently in advance.
