Oral and maxillofacial surgeon in Lower Austria

Dental implants in Lower Austria

I place dental implants in both practices – from single implants to a fixed restoration of a whole jaw on a few implants (All-on-X). If the bone of the upper jaw has receded severely, zygomatic implants are an option, which I place at University Hospital St. Pölten. Before every implant procedure, I carefully plan the position, angle and number of implants using a three-dimensional X-ray. For implant treatment you receive an invoice (Honorarnote) that you can submit to your health insurer; the insurer decides on reimbursement. More on the pages Dental implants and All-on-X and zygomatic implants.

Maxillofacial and dental surgery

My main areas in St. Andrä‑Wördern and Frankenfels include wisdom tooth removal, surgical tooth extractions, apicoectomies and gum surgery (oral surgery). These procedures are covered by statutory health insurance and billed directly via the e‑card – at no extra cost to you. They are usually carried out as outpatient procedures under local anaesthesia.

Jaw joint, Botox and fillers

For jaw joint problems (TMD) I offer functional analysis and therapy in both practices, including custom-made occlusal splints; more under TMJ treatment. I also treat with Botox there – medically for teeth grinding and jaw joint problems as well as aesthetically – and with fillers.

At University Hospital St. Pölten

At the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of University Hospital St. Pölten I work as a senior consultant and perform oral and maxillofacial as well as dental surgery – including procedures that require a hospital: orthognathic surgery to correct jaw misalignment, zygomatic implants, surgical jaw joint treatment such as jaw joint lavage, rhinoplasty and medically necessary eyelid surgery with an ophthalmologist's report. Aesthetic eyelid surgery is performed in cooperation with Dr. Matthias Karasek at his practice in St. Pölten. Consultation hours, implants and all procedures at the hospital are described under Oral surgeon in St. Pölten.

I also treat patients in Styria – in the practice of Dr. Gerhard Ecker‑Krisch in Thörl; more under Oral surgeon in Styria. Independent second opinions and treatment plans are available at my diagnostic centre Evi.Dental in Vienna; no treatments take place there. All locations are listed under Locations.

Does health insurance cover the costs?

Both practices bill insurance-covered treatment such as wisdom tooth removal, dental surgery or functional analysis directly via the e‑card – at no extra cost to you. For implants and for Botox for jaw joint problems you receive an invoice (Honorarnote) that you can submit to your health insurer; the insurer decides on reimbursement. I will be happy to explain the procedure and costs.

How do I make an appointment?

The easiest way is directly through the practice – you will find the telephone numbers above – or via my contact form or by email to office@zahnop.at. I will get back to you as soon as possible.
