Dental Clinic «Dr. Emmerich and Partners», Aachen

The dental clinic «Dr. Emmerich, Dr. Wessing and Partners» in Aachen offers the full range of dental services for children and adults. The clinic provides its patients with a complete spectrum of modern, evidence-based treatment methods. It also offers dental treatment and prosthetic programmes designed for executives. For patients whose professional commitments make it difficult to attend appointments during regular consulting hours, the clinic offers — under a special schedule — an equally wide range of surgical procedures, dental restorations and implant placements, as well as various forms of anaesthesia, including general anaesthesia (treatment under general anaesthesia is carried out on working days only). At the patient's request, appointments can also be arranged at weekends. In addition, busy patients are offered fast-track treatment in preparation for subsequent prosthetic work.

The foundation and distinctive strength of the dental clinic «Dr. Emmerich, Dr. Wessing and Partners» lie in a combination of several elements: the use of scientifically validated treatment methods by specialist dentists; high-quality equipment; a partnership with a modern clinical hospital; and a truly unique approach to patient consultation and treatment, which takes place in a calm and comfortable setting, where the patient's individual situation and desired outcome are discussed in detail. It should not be forgotten that healthy teeth are one of the essential prerequisites for well-being and for the overall condition of the whole body.

Dental implants. At the dental clinic «Dr. Emmerich and Partners» in Aachen, treatment with dental implants is carried out using products from Nobel Biocare, the undisputed leader on the dental implant market. Dr. Emmerich and Dr. Wessing are rightly regarded as recognised experts in this field, and their scientific publications have earned them a reputation both within Germany and beyond.

All-on-4. The All-on-4 system makes it possible to create stable restorations supported by just 4 implants per jaw, with the prosthesis fitted by the doctor on the day of the operation.

Binocular loupes. Binocular loupes ensure more effective and higher-quality treatment by producing an excellent image and providing the necessary magnification.

Surgical microscope. The use of the latest Leica M500 surgical microscope makes it possible to perform the most demanding, intricate procedures with the highest precision, such as root canal treatment and cosmetic gum surgery. Only precise visualisation makes optimal treatment possible.

Dental laboratory. The clinic's own dental laboratory, located next door and working to the highest German quality standards, produces dental prostheses of every design — for example, computer-milled zirconium dioxide restorations or ceramic veneers, which the dental technicians select and fabricate to match the patient's tooth shade.

Root canal treatment. So-called «endodontic» treatment of teeth at the stage of pulp inflammation or pulp tissue necrosis is performed using a surgical microscope, rotary instruments for root canal preparation and electronic devices for the electrometric determination of root length. During treatment, various irrigating solutions are used to disinfect the root canal. The procedure is painless, as it is always preceded by anaesthesia. The clinic's comprehensive approach to root canal treatment means that the success rate of endodontic therapy exceeds 90 %, far above the usual figures.

Molecular biological and molecular genetic diagnostic methods. Molecular biological and molecular genetic diagnostic methods are used to detect the pathogenic bacteria that cause periodontitis and, through genotyping of the IL1B genes, to predict the risk of periodontal disease affecting teeth and implants. These methods make it possible to assess the individual risk of tooth or implant loss even before treatment begins.

A unique prevention programme. A unique prevention programme — comprising professional tooth cleaning, supportive periodontitis therapy, regular screening tests, instruction in oral hygiene techniques and monitoring of results — is designed to help you keep healthy teeth throughout your life.

Fully equipped operating theatre. The clinic has a fully equipped operating theatre.

Three-dimensional imaging. To obtain high-quality, precise three-dimensional images of the teeth and jaw, the clinic uses the Siemens Somatom Definition Flash computed tomography scanner located in the radiology department of the Luisenhospital (Queen Louise Hospital). One of the most advanced and fastest CT scanners in the world, it is characterised by a minimal radiation dose. The scanner also allows computer-guided navigation during implant placement, which is carried out under the supervision of radiologists in order to identify any other pathology in the patient.

TÜV certification. Following the successful implementation of a quality management system at the «Dental Clinic at the Luisenhospital», the clinic was awarded certification by TÜV Nord in 2009. Certification by TÜV Nord, carried out by an independent body, confirms that the treatment and services provided by the «Dental Clinic at the Luisenhospital» meet the established quality standards.
