Who treats you
Dr. med. dent. M.Sc. Sandro Strößner – working in implantology since 2013 · M.Sc. in Oral Implantology and Periodontology – together with the team at Zahnkompetenzzentrum Weißenfels.
First Appointment
Conversation, medical history and examination (3D X-ray if needed) – planning comes first, treatment follows. A purely informational conversation without an examination is free of charge; examination and treatment and cost plan are billed according to the GOZ (the German scale of dental fees).
Costs
A written treatment and cost plan before treatment begins; an initial, non-binding price range is provided by the cost calculator further down.
First Step
Book an appointment around the clock via our online reception (the “Appointment” button), or by phone during opening hours on 03443 339 65 54.
“Patients from Leipzig reach our Zahnkompetenzzentrum in Weißenfels in around 45 minutes by car via the A9 – or in around 20 minutes by train (ICE/IC to Weißenfels main station).”
Cone-beam CT scan, intraoral scans, structured assessment. The first appointment isn't treatment — it's a conversation backed by data.
From the final dental prosthesis back to the surgery. What should exist at the end determines the first step — not the other way round.
Coordinated by one team under one roof. Surgery, prosthetics, laboratory — nothing handed off, nothing lost in translation.
For patients travelling from further away, we offer combined appointments (consultation plus surgery in a single visit, after prior clarification), a shuttle service from the station, and hotel recommendations in Weißenfels if needed. Weekend appointments on request.

REGION
Leipzig and Weißenfels are closer to each other than many people initially assume. Between the Saxon city and the neighbouring Burgenlandkreis to the south in Saxony-Anhalt, depending on the district and route, it is only around 45 minutes by car (A9) – or, by train (ICE/IC), as little as about 20 minutes to Weißenfels main station. This short distance makes it easy for patients from the south of Leipzig, from Markkleeberg, Markranstädt, Zwenkau, Pegau, or Bad Dürrenberg to choose implant treatment at the Zahnkompetenzzentrum Dr. med. dent. M.Sc. Sandro Strößner in Weißenfels – and, conversely, people from Weißenfels and the Burgenlandkreis find a nearby point of contact with us, without having to commute to Leipzig.
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is anchored in the jawbone and replaces a lost tooth in its original position. Unlike bridges or removable dentures, which rely on neighbouring teeth or the mucosa for support, the implant takes on the load-bearing function of the natural root directly in the bone. The visible restoration – a crown, a bridge, or a permanently screwed-in denture – is then attached to this foundation. This makes an implant the closest of all commonly used methods today to the natural structure of a tooth, as it recreates root and crown as two separate, coordinated components.
Particularly with implantology, where people choose to be treated matters to many patients – and they are willing to accept a manageable journey for it. Implant treatment is not a single, one-off appointment, but a planned process spanning several phases. Anyone who receives diagnostics, the surgical procedure, prosthetic treatment, and aftercare bundled together in one place benefits from continuous coordination. This is exactly the kind of single-source treatment we offer in Weißenfels – one reason why patients from the greater Leipzig area, too, are willing to make the short trip across the state border.
Leipzig and the Burgenlandkreis have long formed a shared living and economic area. Many people live in the Burgenlandkreis and work in Leipzig, others commute in the opposite direction, and the route along the A9 and A38 is travelled by thousands every day. For plannable, scheduled treatment such as implant placement, this connection is an advantage: appointments can be fitted into the daily routine, and the journey to Weißenfels is, for patients from Leipzig, shorter and more straightforward than some journeys right across their own city during rush hour.
At the Zahnkompetenzzentrum Dr. med. dent. M.Sc. Sandro Strößner, we see ourselves as a point of contact for both regions. We support patients from the initial consultation, through digital planning, to the finished restoration and long-term aftercare. Because surgery, prosthetics and aftercare all come together at our single site, your treatment can be coordinated across every phase – regardless of whether you live in Weißenfels, the surrounding area, or greater Leipzig.
ANFAHRT
Anyone travelling from Leipzig to see us in Weißenfels has several well-developed routes to choose from. The roughly 40-kilometre distance can be covered comfortably either by car or by train. So that you can plan your treatment day with ease, here is a practical overview of the journey. The exact travel time naturally depends on your starting point, the time of day, and traffic conditions.
From the south and west of Leipzig, the A38 (Südharzautobahn) leads towards Merseburg and on into the Burgenlandkreis; from the east and the city centre, the A9 towards Munich, connecting via the A38 or main roads, is a good option. Via the junctions around Leuna, Merseburg, and Bad Dürrenberg, you reach the B91 or B176 to Weißenfels. For many districts, this results in a journey time of around 45 minutes. Anyone wanting to avoid rush-hour traffic is best advised to schedule appointments outside the morning and evening peak periods.
Weißenfels lies on the busy railway line between Leipzig, Halle and Erfurt and is served regularly by regional trains. From Leipzig main station, you can reach Weißenfels station in a comparatively short journey time; from there it is only a few minutes into the town centre. The rail connection is especially useful when driving yourself is not advisable after a procedure under sedation or anaesthetic – so you can be taken home comfortably after your appointment without having to sit behind the wheel yourself.
If your treatment involves sedation, or if you would like to take it easy afterwards, we generally recommend not driving yourself home. A companion, a transport service or the train are sensible options here. Before each appointment, we will let you know whether you should expect any limitations to your fitness to drive that day, so that you can arrange your outward and return journey accordingly in advance.
Our practice is centrally located in Weißenfels at Leopold-Kell-Straße 25, and is easy to find both from the station and from the main approach roads. When booking your appointment, we are happy to explain the most convenient route from where you live and answer any questions about parking and accessibility. This way, you already know what your day of treatment will look like before your first appointment.
BEYOND THE REGION
For many dental concerns, the nearest practice is the obvious choice. For plannable, demanding treatment such as implantology, however, many people deliberately choose to travel a manageable distance in order to receive treatment, consultation, and support bundled together in one place. Implant treatment extends over several appointments and phases – from diagnostics through the procedure to prosthetic treatment and aftercare. When these steps are coordinated at a single location, there is no need to switch between different practices, and findings, planning, and treatment remain in continuous, single-source hands.
For patients from the greater Leipzig area, the journey to Weißenfels can be attractive for exactly this reason. The distance is short, treatment is provided at a single location, and you do not have to split the individual treatment steps between several sites. We take the time to assess your situation thoroughly and plan your treatment so that travel and appointments are sensibly coordinated.
It matters to us to give an honest assessment here: not every situation requires cross-regional care, and we do not promise blanket benefits that cannot responsibly be guaranteed in advance. What we offer you is careful consultation, in which we work together to check whether an implant makes sense in your case and which approach suits you best. Whether you come from Weißenfels, from the Burgenlandkreis, or from the Leipzig area – the same clinical care applies to everyone.
Before you even need to think about travelling to multiple appointments, there is the personal consultation. Here, we clarify whether an implant is an option for you, what alternatives exist, and what timeframe and budget to expect. For patients from Leipzig, this means: a single first appointment is enough to get a well-founded assessment and decide whether you want to continue the journey together with us. This creates no pressure to commit, but a clear basis for your decision.
RANGE OF TREATMENTS
Implants are not a procedure for just one type of case, but a basis for care across very different starting situations. From replacing a single tooth to stabilising a complete denture, many gaps can be closed with implant-supported restorations. Which option is right for you depends on the number of missing teeth, the condition of the remaining teeth, and the bone available. For patients from Leipzig as much as from Weißenfels, the same principle applies: the right solution is chosen individually, not by formula.
Two materials are mainly available for the implant itself. Titanium implants have been in use for decades and are known for their good compatibility and mechanical strength; they are used in most situations. Ceramic implants – usually based on zirconium dioxide – are metal-free and naturally tooth-coloured, which can offer aesthetic advantages, particularly in the visible front-tooth area or where the gum tissue is very thin. Which material is right for you depends on the location of the gap, the aesthetics you want, the available bone volume, and your personal preferences, and will be discussed factually during your consultation.
Forward-looking planning is the foundation of good implant treatment. 3D X-ray (cone-beam CT) allows the jaw to be assessed not just in two dimensions but spatially. This makes bone height, bone width, and the position of anatomical structures such as nerve canals or the maxillary sinus visible, which can only be seen to a limited extent on a classic two-dimensional X-ray. Based on this data, the planned implant position can be transferred to an individually made surgical guide, which guides the procedure along the previously determined axis and depth. This approach combines digital planning on screen with implementation in the mouth and supports precise, well-documented treatment.
This careful preparation has a practical side effect for patients travelling from further away: the more precisely things are planned in advance, the better the individual treatment steps can be scheduled. This helps keep the number of necessary journeys manageable, without medical care suffering as a result.
ABLAUF
Implant treatment is a planned process that extends over several appointments and weeks. Each step builds on the previous one, and deliberately chosen healing periods, during which the tissue settles, lie between the individual phases. The following overview shows the typical course – the exact sequence and duration always depend on your personal situation and may vary in individual cases.
For patients from Leipzig and the wider surrounding area, we organise individual appointments, wherever possible, to make efficient use of the journey. Where medically justifiable, consultation and diagnostics can, for example, be combined in time, or check-up appointments arranged to avoid an extra trip. However, the course of healing always remains the deciding factor: the healing periods deliberately built in between phases cannot simply be shortened at will, because they create the stable foundation for the later restoration.
Some treatment steps naturally require separate appointments with a gap in between – for example, between placing the implant and fitting the dental restoration. During planning, we discuss openly with you how many appointments are likely to be needed and which of these can be combined. This allows you to plan your journeys from Leipzig or the Burgenlandkreis into your calendar well in advance.
You remain closely involved throughout the entire treatment. Before every major step, we explain what happens next, what to look out for at home, and when the next appointment makes sense. This way, you keep an overview of the process – regardless of how far away you live.
ADVANTAGES & BONE AUGMENTATION
Many patients experience implants as a particularly comfortable form of dental prosthetics, because they are firmly anchored in the jaw and do not need neighbouring teeth for support. A key reason why implants are of interest is also the preservation of the jawbone: a natural tooth root transmits pressure to the bone during chewing and keeps it in shape. If a tooth is missing for a longer period, this stimulus is lost and the bone gradually recedes – an implant can take over this load and counteract bone loss at the affected site.
An implant needs sufficient load-bearing bone in order to be anchored securely. However, after a tooth has been missing for a longer period, the jawbone often recedes, because it no longer receives natural stimulation from the tooth root. Inflammatory processes or anatomical factors can also mean that there is not enough bone at the desired site. In such cases, bone augmentation can restore the missing volume, thereby first creating the conditions needed for an implant.
Depending on its extent, bone augmentation can be carried out at the same time as implant placement, or as a separate, preliminary procedure. If it is carried out separately, the augmented area first needs its own healing period before the implant is placed. Whether bone augmentation is needed at all can only be assessed after a precise examination – in many cases, the available bone is sufficient. For those travelling from Leipzig, an additional augmentation step means planning for a further healing phase and, with it, an additional appointment. We discuss transparently what additional effort this involves and how it affects treatment duration and travel planning.
COSTS & CONTACT
The cost of implant treatment depends on many factors: the number of implants, the material used, the type of dental prosthetics, and whether bone augmentation or other preparatory treatment is needed. For this reason, no flat-rate price can be given. Before treatment begins, we provide you with a written, easy-to-understand treatment and cost plan listing every item, so you have a clear basis for your decision and nothing remains unclear.
We understand that the financial side of implant treatment plays an important role. That is why we discuss together which restoration makes medical sense while also fitting your circumstances, and explain the treatment and cost plan item by item. On request, we can also discuss possible payment arrangements, so that treatment remains manageable to plan – this applies equally to patients from Weißenfels and to those travelling from the greater Leipzig area.
Statutory health insurers pay a fixed subsidy for dental prosthetics based on the diagnosis, calculated against standard care. As the implant itself usually goes beyond standard care, an out-of-pocket share generally remains. Keeping a bonus booklet regularly and without gaps can increase the subsidy. Privately insured patients and those with supplementary insurance should clarify reimbursement with their insurer in advance, as conditions vary by tariff. The fixed subsidy applies regardless of where you live – whether you are insured in Leipzig (Saxony) or in the Burgenlandkreis (Saxony-Anhalt) makes no difference to your entitlement. We are happy to prepare a treatment and cost plan for you that you can submit to your health insurer before treatment begins – simply get in touch with us on 03443 / 339 65 54.
The Zahnkompetenzzentrum Dr. med. dent. M.Sc. Sandro Strößner at Leopold-Kell-Straße 25 in Weißenfels is here for patients from a wide catchment area. This includes, besides Weißenfels itself, towns in the Burgenlandkreis such as Hohenmölsen, Lützen, Teuchern, Naumburg, Zeitz, and Bad Dürrenberg, as well as the greater Leipzig area, including Markkleeberg, Markranstädt, Zwenkau, Pegau, and the southern districts of the city. Diagnostics, planning, the surgical procedure, prosthetic treatment, and aftercare all take place at a single location, so that your treatment is coordinated throughout and you do not have to switch between different practices.
If you are considering an implant, or are unsure which treatment might be right for you, a personal consultation is the best first step. We look at your situation, answer your questions, and show you the possible options – factually, clearly, and without time pressure. For those travelling from Leipzig, we are also happy to explain the most convenient route and to help schedule appointments so that journeys stay manageable. Please feel free to book an appointment by phone on 03443 339 65 54. We take the time your concerns deserve and will support you on the way to your dental prosthetics.
Patients from Leipzig can reach our Zahnkompetenzzentrum in Weißenfels in around 45 minutes by car via the A9 – or in around 20 minutes by train (ICE/IC to Weißenfels main station). We deliberately offer a range of implantology services that might otherwise be expected only at specialist clinics – including All-on-4, ceramic implants, complex bone augmentation, and treatment under general anaesthesia.
Many of our patients from Leipzig come to us because we can give them a second opinion on an existing treatment and cost plan. With modern know-how, treatment can often be carried out considerably more efficiently, more gently, and often more affordably. A cone-beam CT scan allows us to assess the situation objectively.
I was an anxious patient for fifty years. Today, I am no longer one. Not because my anxiety has disappeared, but because this team took it seriously, without ever making a drama out of it.
What convinced me was the absence of marketing. No promises. Just planning, explanation, execution. I had eight implants placed and didn't even feel like I'd made a difficult decision.
