Biological Dentistry & Ceramic Implants in Germany for Finnish Patients
A direct Helsinki-Hamburg flight, then a short transfer to a fully metal-free practice beside Lübeck - ceramic implants, biocompatible restorations and vital aesthetics, with every consultation in English.

01 Why patients come from Finland
A metal-free practice worth the short flight
A growing number of Finnish patients look beyond their own city for dentistry that takes the whole body seriously - care built around biocompatible, metal-free materials, genuine experience with ceramic implants, and a holistic understanding of how oral health connects to general wellbeing. Our practice in Bad Schwartau, immediately next to Lübeck in northern Germany, offers exactly that, and a direct flight from Helsinki to Hamburg makes it surprisingly easy to reach.
For many people the appeal is simple. They want a single practice that works exclusively without metal, that has placed ceramic (zirconia) implants many times, and that explains every step clearly in English. You do not need a word of German to understand your diagnosis, weigh up your options, or follow your aftercare. We build the treatment plan around your travel from Finland rather than expecting you to fit your life around the treatment.

02 The approach
Dentistry that respects the body it lives in.
Biological dentistry asks not only "does this fix the tooth?" but "is this kind to the whole person?" - choosing materials, techniques and timing with your long-term health in mind.
03 Getting here from Finland
A direct flight and a short transfer
The practice is in Bad Schwartau, immediately adjacent to Lübeck in Schleswig-Holstein, northern Germany. For Finnish patients the most practical route is by air into Hamburg, followed by a short onward leg. Your total travel time depends on your departure point in Finland.
Fly Helsinki → Hamburg
Direct flights from Helsinki to Hamburg Airport (HAM) take about 2 hours. Hamburg is the nearest major international airport to the practice.
Hamburg to Bad Schwartau
From Hamburg Airport it is roughly a 45-55 minute drive, or about a 1h10-1h25 train journey, onward to Lübeck/Bad Schwartau.
On the Baltic corridor
Bad Schwartau sits right beside Lübeck on the Baltic corridor between Hamburg and Denmark - a calm, walkable part of northern Germany, well connected by road and rail.
Plan around your appointments

04 English-speaking, metal-free care
Treated in English, from first call to aftercare
Coming this far for treatment only pays off when nothing is left vague. Everything happens in English - your diagnosis, the options in front of you, the materials and the thinking behind them, and precisely what recovery involves. Ask anything you want to; nothing important gets lost in translation.
Our practice is metal-free by principle. That means biocompatible materials chosen with sensitive patients in mind, ceramic restorations and implants where they are suitable, and careful, protocol-led removal of older metal work. If you have reacted poorly to dental materials before, or simply prefer to avoid metal in your body, this is the foundation everything here is built on.
- Consultations and aftercare in clear English
- Biocompatible materials for sensitive patients
- Safe, protocol-led removal of older metal restorations
- Detailed written documentation you can take home
Every consultation, plan and aftercare conversation in English

06 Costs and written quotes
An itemised quote before anything is booked
Treatment is billed under the official German fee schedule for dentists, the GOZ. Your quote is broken down position by position - diagnostics, materials and each treatment step - so you always see what a plan actually consists of.
Because Finland is a flight away, we keep the first step simple: briefly describe your situation in the form, and we get back to you in English with the next steps. The examination, including 3D diagnostics where needed, takes place here at the practice; the binding, itemised quote follows it, and you receive it in writing before any treatment begins.
07 Reimbursement
Private insurance and reimbursement
Reimbursement may be possible through a private (supplementary) dental insurance - best clarified with your insurer before you travel.
Only your insurer can say what your policy covers, so please check this before treatment. From us you receive a standard invoice, itemised by service. Whether a public system contributes anything is decided solely by your own insurer or authority; we do not advise on this.
