The improvement in dental care for people with mental or physical disabilities is a field in which Clinic Director Profesor Invitado (Univ. Sevilla) Dr Dr Winand Olivier MSc. has been actively participating for many years. The treatment of patients such as these often presents insurmountable problems for many dental practices as the necessary framework conditions for suitable treatment cannot be provided.

In addition to accessible facilities, in our dental clinic we adapt to the patient’s individual situation and shape our treatment concept accordingly. It is important to accept different treatment situations, for example if a patient is suffering from a considerable level of anxiety or cannot open their mouth for long enough or wide enough. For patients with physical limitations, treatment in a dentist’s chair is often not possible.

Through collaboration with experienced anaesthetists and our own surgical department with a ward, treatments at the Dinslaken dental clinic are able to be carried out under general anaesthetic. It is also common for dentures to be required that are easy to handle and to maintain and can be prepared in just a few sessions. The in-house dental laboratory and the direct connection to the Evangelical hospital are a real advantage here and ensure treatment with the greatest possible level of safety is achieved.
