Dental treatment under general anaesthetic
As an institution of university medicine, we are committed to high quality standards. All treatment measures are carried out on the basis of scientific findings and in accordance with the latest, scientifically recognised methods and techniques. On request, we also offer sensible tooth-preserving measures if these go beyond what is economical, appropriate and sufficient. It may be the case that statutory health insurance companies do not cover the costs for this, or only partially. Please let us know what is important to you in the treatment of your teeth so that we can provide you with comprehensive and personalised advice.
