Only very few patients are aware that headaches and backaches as well as muscle tension can be caused by the teeth or jaw. This is where functional therapy comes in.
The jaw, the head, and the musculoskeletal system form a functional unit. If the interaction of this unit is disrupted, for example by teeth grinding, it can stress the joints of the jaw and lead to painful muscle tension, which is often associated with severe headaches. Through targeted functional therapy, these aches can be reduced or, at best, even eliminated.
To obtain a conclusive diagnosis, we will take dental casts of the upper and lower jaw to examine the masticatory system. In case of any dysfunction, we can offer you several treatment options including a splint therapy, grinding the preliminary contacts, or a bite elevation or abatement.

The high-quality pulsed diode laser is commonly used in dentistry and achieves excellent results:
- It can replace a scalpel in certain surgical procedures, which aids rapid wound healing and less scarring.
- When used for the treatment of herpes and aphthae, pain goes away faster and recurrence reduces.
- Good long-term results are achieved in the treatment of hypersensitive necks of teeth, in contrast to conventional methods.
Less bleeding due to laser treatment
The patient experiences significantly less bleeding during treatments aided by laser technology. The laser closes the affected blood vessels, thus accelerating the healing process. In most cases this also means that there is no need to suture the wounds.Aesthetic / cosmetic dentistry
ExpiredWhat is aesthetic dentistry?
Aesthetic dentistry is an umbrella term for various high-quality treatment methods we are specialised in. Through a combination of modern techniques and innovative materials, lost tooth substance can be reconstructed or replaced. Photo analysis and models enable precise planning and guarantee predictable results.We always strive to preserve valuable tooth substance and ensure optimal biocompatibility with filling materials, ceramics, or composites.
Our range of services include:
- ceramic veneers in the anterior region - so-called veneers
- synthetic fillings
- ceramic inlays / onlays
- gentle bleaching
- crowns, partial crowns, and bridges made of all-ceramics
- complex new restorations
- removable, high-quality dentures
Reasons for aesthetic dentistry: What causes damage to teeth and gums?
Aesthetic dentistry is used to treat caries, periodontitis, erosion (wear caused by acid), abrasion/attrition (wear caused by teeth grinding), and shape and structural anomalies (malformations).Materials
We only use materials that are biocompatible as well as tooth-coloured and translucent. These are mainly composites (a high-quality mixture of plastic and ceramic) and full ceramics. We avoid older materials such as amalgam, metal, and cement whenever possible.More detailed information on aesthetic dentistry:

Preventive measures to maintain healthy teeth and promote the health process of diseased teeth or gums are called prophylaxis. If carried out regularly, you can prevent dental diseases or tooth replacement, promote the long-term health of your teeth, and reduce headaches, back pain, muscle tension, and other issues.
First, we thoroughly remove any tartar and dental plaque from your teeth with an air-flow device. Any roughness on the surface of the teeth is removed by a thorough polishing. Finally, the interdental spaces are cleaned. Another important point of a prophylaxis session involves instructing our patients on which tooth brushing technique and which prophylaxis items they should use for optimal tooth cleaning at home.
Prophylaxis is the basis for beautiful and healthy teeth - especially for children!
For children, prophylaxis is carried out by first staining the teeth with a special solution so teeth that have not been brushed carefully enough can be identified more easily. Then the teeth are professionally cleaned and locally fluoridated.

How much prophylaxis is necessary?
Our professionally trained assistants carefully assess how often a prophylaxis treatment should be carried out. The schedule depends on various factors, such as previous damage or any prosthetic treatment (dentures). Our recall system always reminds you of your next appointment in time.What does a prophylaxis session in our independent department look like?
Our practice has an independent prophylaxis department with four trained prophylaxis assistants that carry out the treatment competently and sensitively. Professional treatment is a vital part of optimal oral hygiene to reach areas that cannot be sufficiently cleaned by daily tooth brushing alone and to maintain healthy teeth. In addition, all tools you will need in order to be well equipped for the optimal care of your teeth at home can be purchased in an affiliated shop.First, we thoroughly remove any tartar and dental plaque from your teeth with an air-flow device.

The insertion of dental implants is called implantology. Dr. Mathias Siegmund M.Sc., M.Sc., who is specialised and certified (DGI) in implantology, has over ten years of experience in the field and a "Masters of Oral Implantology".
Implantological dentures consist of three components:
More complex cases are discussed by our team and afterwards thoroughly with our patients. In many cases a combination of a variety of dental procedures is needed, e.g. periodontology and endodontics. Furthermore, it is always possible to include our superb dental technicians in the prosthetic procedures. This guaranties optimal results.
Optimal dental prosthesis: ceramic implants
Constant advancements in dental diagnostics and therapy require changes in the treatment philosophy and the entire treatment procedure. Whereas in the past it was common to extract teeth, today we focus on the preservation of the patient's teeth and extensive preventive care. In the case of necessary extractions, dental implants are often the preferred treatment.Implantological dentures consist of three components:
- the artificial root (the actual implant)
- implant abutment
- dental crowns, bridges, or prostheses
Specialist for implantology in Regensburg
Doctor Siegmund M. Sc, M. Sc. is a certified as an implantologist by the German Society for Implantology and completed his studies with the Master of Science in Oral Implantology in 2010.More complex cases are discussed by our team and afterwards thoroughly with our patients.

Regular prophylaxis – important care for the implant
In our prophylaxis department, we focus on aftercare and regular professional care of the implant to ensure your long-term health.The use of computer-assisted implant planning
A volume tomogram provides a 3-dimensional representation of the anatomical structures of your teeth. This enables us to produce precise implants, indicates where bone augmentation is necessary, and overall enables a high degree of precision of the treatment procedure.Treatment under general anaesthesia (ITN)
We work with an experienced team of anaesthetists and perform surgeries under general anaesthesia directly on-site in our practice rooms. Larger and complex procedures are performed at our partners' surgery center, which offers all the comfort of a clinic.
