Insurance & costs
We have a contract with SVS and KFA: treatments covered by these insurers are billed directly to your insurer – please bring your e-card. For all other insurers (e.g. ÖGK, BVAEB) we are a non-contracted dentist (Wahlarzt): you pay at the practice and submit the invoice to your insurer, which reimburses part of the cost depending on insurer and treatment. Private treatments such as whitening or veneers are billed privately for all patients.

Directions in Google MapsWhat do we treat immediately?
Do not wait with the following complaints – call us immediately. At weekends and on holidays no appointment is needed; on weekdays we do our best to see you the same day.
Severe acute toothache
Throbbing, pulsating or persistent toothache may indicate pulpitis (inflammation of the dental nerve) or an abscess. Please do not wait – early treatment prevents worse outcomes.
- No heat on the affected area
- Cool with an ice pack (cloth between ice and skin)
- Ibuprofen or paracetamol as a short-term measure
- Call immediately
Knocked-out tooth (dental avulsion)
A knocked-out tooth can often be reimplanted – but only within 30–60 minutes. Every minute counts.
- Hold the tooth by the crown only (never the root)
- Do not wash or scrub it
- Store in milk, saline solution or under the tongue
- Call our emergency number immediately
Abscess / Swelling in the mouth
An abscess is a purulent infection that can spread rapidly. Typical signs: painful swelling, fever, general malaise. Without treatment it can become life-threatening.
- Do not apply heat
- Rinse mouth with lukewarm salt water
- Fever > 38.5 °C and severe swelling: call ambulance (144)
- Contact dentist immediately
Broken or chipped tooth
A broken tooth can leave sharp edges that injure the tongue and cheek. Depending on the extent of the fracture, various treatments are possible.
- Keep the tooth fragment if possible
- Cover sharp edges with wax or chewing gum
- No hard food on the affected side
- Book an appointment promptly
Severe bleeding after tooth extraction
Some bleeding after an extraction is normal. However, if heavy bleeding persists for more than 1 hour, immediate treatment is required.
- Bite firmly on sterile gauze or a clean cloth
- Do not rinse or suck
- No alcohol, no smoking
- If bleeding cannot be stopped, call immediately
Lost filling / crown / denture
Missing dental work exposes sensitive tooth structure and can cause pain. Not usually an absolute emergency, but should be treated promptly.
- Keep the filling/crown if possible
- Soothe the exposed area with clove oil
- No hard food on the affected side
- Book an appointment within 1–2 days
First aid measures for toothache
These measures can bridge the time until your emergency appointment – but they do not replace professional dental treatment.
Cool the cheek from the outside with an ice pack (with a cloth in between). Helps with inflammation and swelling. Never apply direct heat.
Ibuprofen (400–600 mg) or paracetamol (500–1000 mg) according to the package leaflet. Check for contraindications. Avoid aspirin – it increases the risk of bleeding.
Rinse with warm salt water (1 tsp salt in 200 ml water) – helps with inflammation and gently cleans the wound. 3–4 times daily.
Clove oil (eugenol) has a local anaesthetic effect. Dab a little onto the painful area. Available at pharmacies. Do not apply to healthy gums or mucous membranes.
No heat (promotes inflammation), no alcohol, no smoking, no hard food on the affected side, do not place toothache tablets directly on the tooth.
These tips only bridge the time until your appointment. If you develop fever, severe swelling or spreading pain, call immediately or contact emergency services (144).
