Specialist in Reconstructive Dentistry: Recognition & Commitment to Quality in Basel

In brief: Reconstructive dentistry brings together function, aesthetics and long-term stability. Key elements are thorough diagnostics, a step-by-step plan and transparent options — especially for full-mouth rehabilitation and complex dental restorations in Basel.

I’m happy to share a personal update: I recently received international recognition in reconstructive dentistry / prosthodontics. It’s a great honour — and also a strong motivation to keep pushing for precision, quality and predictable planning in daily practice.

What does a specialist dentist mean for patients in Basel?

Reconstructive dentistry is especially relevant when several factors come together — for example with comprehensive rehabilitation, complex prosthetic situations, significant wear (attrition/bruxism), or when function and aesthetics need to be improved together.

Three principles matter most:

• Thorough diagnostics before deciding on treatment→ Dental diagnoses

  • When indicated, 3D imaging: CBCT / 3D diagnostics (DVT)

• Transparent treatment planning in stages (options + alternatives + timeline + cost framework)→ Treatment planning

• Long-term reconstruction: function (bite/chewing), aesthetics and maintainability should fit together→ Dental replacement explained clearly

  • When relevant: Full-mouth rehabilitation / restoration

If bruxism (clenching/grinding) plays a role

Bruxism can be a key factor in reconstructive cases. Depending on findings, a protective/stabilising approach may be helpful:→ Michigan splint

Thank you

A heartfelt thank you to colleagues, mentors, and most importantly to my patients in Basel and the region for their trust. Your cases and questions are what continuously drive improvement.
