We – the teams of the Dr. Leu Group – have successfully treated more than 4,000 special patients so far.
Our special patients have always been people who were terrified of being humiliated due to their poor dental condition. Constant feelings of shame made things even worse.
Our special patients longed for many years to find a dentist:
- who can respond to severe and urgent dental problems with empathy,
- who can address diseased and damaged teeth with respect, expertise, and competence
The story of our special patients almost always follows the same path:
At first, there is fear of the dentist. Out of fear, they avoid visiting the dentist, even when it’s absolutely necessary. As a result, their teeth inevitably deteriorate and become unsightly. Soon, the fear of the dentist is accompanied by increasing feelings of shame.
They get caught in a vicious cycle.
Even good oral hygiene no longer protects against the growing process of destruction.
Feelings of shame intensify, leading patients to avoid social contact altogether. Eventually, they even avoid physical closeness with important people in their lives.
Shame starts to dominate their daily life, beginning with the mirror each morning.
Quality of life hits rock bottom.
Emotional stress builds up until the burden becomes unbearable
There is no escape from this vicious cycle without real professional help.
Word of mouth doesn’t help. Searching online is also difficult. Thousands of dental practices claim to specialize in treating dental anxiety. Our special patients hope that at least one of these practices is truly specialized in their unique problems and can offer real professional help.
Eventually, all 4,000 of them found such help with the Dr. Leu Group.
They learned that Dr. Leu’s teams know how to help patients escape this vicious cycle quickly and reliably.
They learned that Dr. Leu’s teams know how to safely restore both the aesthetics and function of teeth in a single session under general anesthesia.
On the website www.zahnarztangst.online, anyone can read numerous testimonials and learn more about Dr. Michael Leu and the Dr. Leu Group.
For many years, Dr. Leu and his teams have exclusively treated special patients using the most modern methods of dentistry and anesthesiology.
The treatment begins at the second appointment.
Patients first receive anonymous telephone counseling from Andrea Herold. She was once a patient of Dr. Leu herself. Who could better understand the suffering of our special patients than Andrea Herold?
Andrea Herold has helped at least 4,000 people get a consultation with Dr. Leu. After that, it usually only takes a few days until patients are fully treated under general anesthesia – with most treatments lasting between 4 to 7 hours.
Before the treatment begins, the patient and the treatment team define all planned procedures and the desired cost framework.
The two photos show women whose scores for the oral health impact profile (OHIP) and dental anxiety (HAF) were still really bad a few years ago.
As always, it was fascinating to see how quickly these two patients' scores improved from very poor to very good.
Both patients became confident and happy people in a very short space of time.
Both women nowadays regularly attend routine dental treatments with our colleagues at their according hometown.
Andrea Herold (left picture) knew from personal experience the permanent stress resulting from shame, destroyed teeth and dental anxiety. With the help of Dr Leu she managed to do the seemingly impossible: Laugh again, talk and eat, carefree...
After the successful treatment with Dr Leu her biggest wish developed:
Sprout hope for people like herself!
We call that conversation: PRE-T1 conversation. Mrs Herold has experienced for herself how simple, efficient and effective Dr Leu's tried-and-tested counselling and treatment method really is.
The method consists of three appointments. At the first appointment, you talk to Dr Leu or his colleagues, who have been trained by him, without a dentist's chair, without instruments, without a white coat. Dr Leu will then draw up a treatment plan that can be implemented for you personally. The complete restoration will take place under general anaesthetic at the second appointment. You will receive your dentures at the third appointment.
Without having to worry about your teeth, you can enjoy your everyday life again and laugh with your family and friends!
Many years ago, the dentist Dr Leu and his teams – the Dr. Leu Group – specialised in treating people whose teeth severely impair their quality of life.
These people are afraid of embarrassment day and night, afraid of humiliation or insults, afraid of embarrassment or the fear of being caught off guard.
Everyone can assess their own oral health-related quality of life using the OHIP test:
OHIP.Test / IDZ-2005-Questionnaire
The vast majority of the general population has OHIP scores just above zero.
The vast majority of our patients have OHIP scores between 32 and the maximum of 56. There are no tests for feelings of shame or for aesthetics.
This OHIP score is a very clear indication that bad teeth are affecting the quality of life. The higher the score, the worse it is. These people feel helpless about the state of their teeth. We hear it again and again: ‘I already had the rope around my neck!’
Many suspect that, despite dental care, everything in their mouths is constantly getting worse.
Here you can deepen your detailed knowledge
We can offer proven help.
As an immediate aid, we recommend a phone call with our former dentist phobic patient. We call the phone call: PRE-T1
In the PRE-T1 call, many people say:
„I can't take it anymore. I feel terrible. I don't go among people anymore. I even avoid my own family members! My thoughts revolve 24/7 around the question: How do I get through the day without attracting attention because of my teeth."
VIGNETTE #1
At PRE-T1, the patient is advised to arrange a conversation with Dr. Leu, for example.
First appointment/T1
That would be T1/ first appointment /T1
After the pre-T1 phone call, hope springs:
Now I might be able to get out of this problem after all!
During the PRE-T1 session, you are informed, among other things, that you will be sitting at a table with Dr Leu:
- No dentist's chair!
- No white coat!
- No instruments!
- No insults!
- No insults and certainly no know-it-alls!
These people are very tense for days before T1. The conversation with Dr. Leu causes a very rapid relaxation and you notice very quickly: he wants to do me good!
Many want to be treated soon after T1: T2
Second appointment/T2
For each patient, the treatment under general anaesthesia always follows an algorithm developed individually for the patient within the framework of the proven treatment guidelines of Dr Michael Leu. One of these treatment guidelines has very pleasant ‘side effects’: almost no pain or swelling. >>> Testimonials
This T2 / second appointment takes a maximum of 7 hours under general anaesthesia
The Dr. Leu method always consists of 3 appointments: 3-appointment timeline
Most patients experience neither pain nor swelling after treatment. They can bite and chew again. They can laugh and socialise again:
Now I've done it!
Some patients' teeth cannot be saved. Patients often know this themselves.
But nobody wants to leave the practice toothless.
We also cater for such people: MODELL LEU.
Many write to us: Life has become great: Testimonials.
The Dr. Leu method has now been proven in almost 5,000 patients from many European countries: Success Statistics.
The treatment is possible under general anaesthesia at great expense(individual treatment algorithms + experienced specialists + staff with experience of these patients + specialists in aesthetics and laboratory technology, etc.) >>>
What does it cost to become a NORMIE again in three appointments?.
The most frequently asked questions in the PRE-T1 interview are:
-
What makes me different from people without a dental phobia?
-
Where can I get treatment?
-
Who will treat me?
-
What does dental rehabilitation mean?
-
Is there one treatment plan for each jaw or can I also get alternatives?
-
Do the cost estimates always hold or can it also get more expensive?
-
How long do you have to wait for treatment?
