Patient Treatment Journey

It’s very common to feel anxious about dental treatment, and your comfort is always central to the way we care for you. We take time to listen, explain each step clearly, and create a calm, supportive environment so you feel at ease throughout. If needed, we can also provide gentle relaxation support, such as a prescribed tablet, though most patients find our approach alone gives them the confidence they need. In Germany this type of care is known as Angstpatienten — literally “anxious patients” — and we bring that same specialist understanding to every treatment.

Yes. You will always be provided with a temporary bridge following your implant surgery, so you are never without teeth. These are natural-looking and aesthetically pleasing, and there is no additional fee for them. Once healing is complete, they are replaced with your permanent zirconia bridgework.

Some soreness or swelling is normal in the first few days after surgery, but it is short-lived and manageable with standard painkillers such as ibuprofen. We also provide clear aftercare guidance to help you stay comfortable as you recover.

The surgery itself usually takes a few hours, depending on how many implants are being placed. Our team stays closely by your side, explaining each step and making sure you are comfortable throughout. You’ll return the following day for a short review, which allows us to confirm we are fully happy with everything before you go home.

Yes. We partner with a trusted dental practice in Hammersmith, London, so if prompt in-person care is needed you have local support. We would work with you to decide whether local treatment or a return visit to Germany is the best option in your circumstances, so you always feel fully supported.

Our treatments are carried out to the highest standards with excellent success rates, but on occasion an implant may not integrate as planned. If this happens, you are fully covered by our guarantee, and our specialist team will resolve the situation — either by replacing the implant or adapting the plan strategically, so the final result is not compromised.

Each secondary appointment takes 2–3 hours. Most patients stay overnight in Berlin for convenience, but same-day travel is possible if preferred to fit your own schedule.

When three visits are planned, the second visit is an intermediate stage before your final bridge fitting. This may involve further extractions, updated scans, or new records such as impressions — all chosen for medical reasons to ensure your new teeth are fitted under the best conditions.

Your new teeth — specially designed and bespoke-manufactured for you — are fitted and adjusted so your bite feels natural and comfortable. This is the moment your treatment journey is complete, and you can enjoy your new smile with full confidence.

Around every 18 months, it is beneficial for the crowns to be removed, so the implants can be professionally cleaned. If you wish, we are very happy to carry out this procedure for you at our clinic.

If you ever notice something unusual, you should contact us straight away. You are fully covered by the Smile Health 5-Year Guarantee, which means any necessary remedial work will be carried out with no additional dental costs to you.

In addition, the implants themselves are backed by the manufacturer’s lifetime guarantee, giving you long-term peace of mind alongside our ongoing commitment to your care.
