At our practice in Freienstein, we are committed to completely metal-free dental care. Metals such as amalgam, nickel, palladium or cobalt-chromium can trigger electrochemical reactions, allergies and chronic inflammation in the oral cavity. When different metals are present in the mouth, galvanic currents may develop that can affect the nervous system and overall health.
As an alternative, we use proven biocompatible materials including zirconia ceramics, hybrid composites, biocompatible resins and metal-free fibre reinforcements. These materials are corrosion-free, immunologically neutral and aesthetically superior to traditional metal restorations.
An increasing number of patients react sensitively to metals in the mouth — often without realising it. Chronic fatigue, headaches, joint pain or skin problems may be linked to metallic dental materials. For patients with autoimmune conditions, allergies or environmental sensitivities, many holistic practitioners recommend a fully metal-free approach.
Yes. Modern zirconia ceramics are extremely strong and often outlast traditional metal restorations in terms of longevity.
Swiss basic insurance covers dental treatment only in exceptional cases. Supplementary insurance may cover part of the costs. We are happy to provide a transparent cost estimate.
