Information for referrers

We are committed to straightforward, collegial collaboration. Referred patients are treated strictly within the agreed scope. Follow-up treatment and prosthetic work naturally remain with you.

Root canal treatment

We perform root canal treatments under the surgical microscope, with flexible nickel-titanium instruments and electronic length measurement. As a member of the Swiss Society for Endodontology (SSE) we specialise in these treatments.

Root canal retreatment

We are happy to reassess existing root fillings with persistent symptoms or apical radiolucency. Retreatment is also performed under the surgical microscope, where needed with prior CBCT assessment.

Apicoectomy

If orthograde retreatment is not possible or not promising, we perform the apicoectomy microsurgically under the surgical microscope, planned on the basis of three-dimensional imaging. The high magnification allows a precise, tissue-preserving approach.

Nitrous oxide treatment

For anxious patients and children we offer treatment under nitrous oxide sedation, also on assignment: you define the scope, we carry it out and refer the patient back.

CBCT diagnostics

On referral we take CBCT scans with our Planmeca system, using the smallest possible field of view for the question at hand. You receive the images and our assessment promptly.

How a referral works

1. Send the referral

By referral letter, HIN-encrypted e-mail, post or phone, with the clinical question and any existing X-rays. You can also give images to the patient.

2. Appointment

We offer an appointment promptly; urgent cases are treated with priority. Patients are informed in detail about benefits, risks and costs.

3. Treatment within the agreed scope

We treat only what has been referred. Follow-up treatment and prosthetics take place with you.

4. Written report

After completion of the therapy you receive a written report on the treatment performed and its course.

Referral form

For your referral you can use our referral form (in German) – fill it in and send it to us by HIN mail or post.
