Dental fillings and dentures
Tooth preservation can help prevent further damage and restore your natural teeth.
Dental fillings are often used to treat tooth fractures and decay.
Dental fillings and prosthetics are procedures to improve the overall function (chewing ability, temporomandibular joint discomfort, speech) and aesthetics of your teeth.
Gentle treatmentsStrong
We use clinically proven dental bonding technologies, state-of-the-art techniques, and materials for the long-term preservation of your teeth.
In our dental preservation practice in Kiel, we offer comprehensive treatment options and an experienced team.
For example, we can now treat early cavities without drilling, thus preserving tooth structure.

Tooth preservation in Kiel
We offer a wide spectrum of treatments and state-of-the-art therapeutic methods for our patients. We place particular emphasis on tooth preservation in Kiel, gentle treatment, long-term dental health, and natural, aesthetic results.
We are convinced that it is important to take the time to plan an individual treatment with our patients, to listen and truly understand each person's needs, goals, and oral health. Thanks to our expertise in dental preservation in Kiel, we can offer you sustainable solutions that promote your health and give you a radiant smile.
01
Dental Fillings & Filling Materials
We exclusively use high-quality filling materials in dental conservations. Additionally, we utilize various composite materials for treating anterior and posterior teeth, which, besides ensuring long-term dental preservation, also enable optimal aesthetic results. Partial transparency and a wide selection of matching tooth shades allow us to achieve individual and very natural results. This is particularly important when treating anterior teeth.
In addition to aesthetic aspects, we also consider that different forces exist in the jaw during chewing. The extent of caries and existing dental restorations also play an important role in the joint planning of your therapy. We aim to achieve a natural chewing sensation, long-term tooth preservation, and aesthetic results for our patients.
02
Certain treatments without drilling
Our dentists offer a state-of-the-art dental infiltration system called Icon. This therapy can be used for treating incipient caries as well as for cosmetic purposes. It treats certain carious defects without drilling, and tooth structure can be preserved.
Thanks to the many years of experience of our dentists and our work in research, we can offer our patients a broad and proven range of treatments, from preventive care, such as dental cleanings (prophylaxis), to gentle therapies, comprehensive treatments, and regular follow-up care.
03
Lab-manufactured supplies
Lab-fabricated restorations such as inlays, onlays, and dental crowns are used for more severely damaged teeth that cannot be treated with filling materials or the infiltration technique. They are used to protect the remaining tooth structure and restore natural chewing function.
For optimal care, we offer a wide repertoire of various materials such as highly aesthetic ceramics, metal, and plastics. For production, we collaborate with specialized dental laboratories in Kiel. In an individual consultation, we will find the most suitable solution with you for long-term tooth preservation.
04
Root canal
treatments
Certain tooth defects and forms of decay require root canal treatment to ensure long-term tooth preservation. Thanks to Dr. Christofzik's specialization in endodontics and traumatology, we offer our patients the choice between the currently best treatment options for tooth preservation.

Glossary of Dental Preservation
A crown is a custom-made, durable dental restoration. It is placed over the prepared tooth like a hollow, tooth-shaped cap. Crowns can be made from various materials, each offering different advantages. Our dentists will be happy to advise you and find the right solution together with you.
Dental bridges make it possible to replace missing teeth. They offer a more comfortable option compared to dentures. However, the neighboring teeth must be ground down to fit the bridge. Here, implants offer a higher-quality solution. Neighboring teeth do not need to be ground down for implants. At Wurzelwerk Dental Practice, we offer our patients dental bridges, implants, and other suitable dental restorations.
A veneer is a thin, custom-made ceramic shell that is bonded to the surface of a tooth. The color and shape are matched to the neighboring teeth, resulting in a very natural appearance. Veneers are used to correct discolored, misshapen, crooked, or chipped teeth. They are also an effective solution for closing small gaps between teeth.

FAQ Tooth Preservation
What are the advantages of composite versus amalgam fillings?
Composite fillings, which are plastic-based, allow for aesthetic restorations that can almost perfectly recreate the natural form and color of the tooth. Impressive results can be achieved, especially in the anterior (front) teeth region. Another advantage is the absence of mercury. Amalgam fillings contain mercury, which is a health concern. If you would like to learn more about the types of dental fillings available, please feel free to schedule an appointment at our dental practice in Kiel Düsternbrook.
What type of dental prosthesis is suitable for me?
Our dentists know how important choices are. Each patient has slightly different goals, genetic predispositions, and lifestyles. Existing restorations, the condition of your teeth, regular teeth grinding, aesthetic considerations, and many other factors determine which tooth replacement option is the best solution for you. Therefore, we take the time to ask questions, get to know you, and present you with various options.
How long does a dental bridge last?
The lifespan of a dental bridge varies. It depends on the material of the restoration, preventative treatments (professional dental cleaning), daily habits, and other factors. Since the natural teeth on which the bridge is supported determine the stability of the bridge, you must keep your teeth healthy. We recommend coming to our dental practice in Kiel for professional dental cleanings and dental check-ups once or twice a year. The dentist can determine the best rhythm with you individually and give you tips for further care. Professional dental cleaning is the basis for the long-term preservation of your teeth. Should you have problems with your oral health, we will gladly fix them. This way, we ensure that your mouth remains in the best possible health and that no further restorations are needed.
Can dental implants replace my dentures, and what are the benefits of implants?
Yes, at Wurzelwerk dental practice, we regularly place implants. This is particularly recommended for patients who do not wish to wear a removable denture. Implants offer a permanent and very comfortable solution. Dental implants are designed to mimic natural teeth. Regular dentures, on the other hand, can slip and offer less comfort and aesthetics. Switching to implants makes speaking and eating easier. Wearing other types of dental prostheses can lead to the jawbone deteriorating. However, bone is important for implants. We can determine bone density directly in our practice thanks to modern imaging methods. Furthermore, there are ways to rebuild the jawbone. Our dentists will be happy to advise you.
