At what age should a child have their first dental check-up?
There is no absolute rule. At D1 Dental Concept, we recommend scheduling the first check-up around the age of 3, unless an issue arises earlier, even if everything appears to be in order. This initial visit helps the child become familiar with the dental office.
Is it always necessary to remove wisdom teeth?
There is no need to extract wisdom teeth if they emerge properly aligned within the dental arches.
However, certain factors—such as lack of space in the jaw or an unfavorable angel can prevent wisdom teeth from positioning themselves correctly.
If this occurs or is anticipated, removal is generally recommended to prevent potential complications. At D1 Dental Concept, our team includes a specialist in maxillofacial surgery, fully equipped to manage wisdom tooth-related issues.
Can I straighten my teeth with orthodontics even as an adult ?
There is virtually no age limit for orthodontic treatment. However, once jaw growth is complete, certain major corrections may require surgical intervention. Orthodontics can also serve as a complementary or alternative treatment in cases of complex dental rehabilitation. At D1 Dental Concept, we work with several experienced orthodontists, and our team includes a specialist in maxillofacial surgery to provide comprehensive care.
Does teeth whitening affect dental health ?
The professional whitening products used by the D1 Dental Concept team comply with Swiss and European regulations and pose no risk to your teeth. However, temporary tooth sensitivity may occur during treatment. This sensitivity disappears quickly once the treatment is stopped.
How often should you have a dental cleaning ?
Scientific studies have long demonstrated the importance of visiting a dental hygienist ideally every 4 to 6 months. At D1 Dental Concept, our hygienist will recommend a personalized interval based on your oral health condition.
My child has fallen and hit a front tooth. Should I see a dentist urgently ?
A dental trauma in a child may require immediate intervention to prevent future complications. For this reason, we strongly recommend seeking urgent dental care. At D1 Dental Concept, we handle emergencies Monday to Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM.
I have a missing tooth. How much does it cost to replace it with an implant ?
The cost of replacing a tooth with a crown on an implant depends on several factors. Prices for dental laboratories and implant manufacturers vary significantly depending on whether they are in Switzerland or abroad. Additionally, case complexity and aesthetic requirements can greatly influence the final price.
At D1 Dental Concept, we exclusively use Swiss dental laboratories and Straumann-brand implants, which are designed and manufactured in Switzerland.
For reference :
- Replacing a posterior tooth with an implant starts at CHF 3,200.
- Replacing a front tooth with an implant starts at CHF 4,000.
