Meet the Team
Vita &
Philosophy

I studied at the Bernhard Gottlieb University Dental Clinic in Vienna, where I also discovered my interest in orthodontics. Thanks to Dr. Rudolf Matheis, my mentor and colleague, I got into dentistry in my teenage years. For several years now I have been working with him and his daughter Dr. Victoria Matheis in the practice in Linz where I took over the contract for orthodontics in 2015.


I have been working in Vienna since 2012. Here we are a team of 3 doctors consisting of Dr. Arthur Marczell and Dr. Dr. Felix Wick. Together we cover almost all areas of dentistry. 


Every day, patients come to our office with very special wishes and requirements: Some are so anxious that just making an appointment was a hurdle. Some are even at the dentist for the first time in their lives. It is important to proceed slowly and carefully, so that dental fear can not arise in the first place.


Some want to smile more beautiful, others want to be able to smile again. Some are in pain, some just want a check-up and have never had anything before.


Old and young, that is our credo, should get the treatment that ultimately leads to a satisfying result for both patient and dentist. On a path where you are not simply at the mercy of the dentist, but in conversation help determine the path.

The Dentist & Specialist for Orthodontics

Carina Wick

Our dental services

General dentistry:
Dental checkups, composit fillings, root canals (endodontics), prosthodontics (inlays, all-ceramic crowns and bridges),


Smile Design / Smile Makeover:
Where we adjust the teeth prosthetically or orthodontically according to the facial aesthetics. For this purpose, the characteristics of the ideal dentition are worked out by means of photos, 3D scans and X-rays. This means teeth that are placed in length, shape, size and symmetry to the face. This can be visualized to give the patient an idea of the future smile.
Aesthetic training is therefore indispensable, as a lot has happened and is still happening in the field of esthetic dentistry with regard to materials and their applications. Among others, I attended courses with Dr. Didier Dietschi (Geneva) on the subject of layered composite abutments, Prof. Manhart (Munich) on composite fillings, and Christian Coachman (Brazil) at NYU on the subject of smile design, to name just a few.


Professional oral hygiene:
Based on x-rays, the condition of the retaining apparatus is determined and, depending on this, professional oral hygiene is suggested, up to and including periodontal treatment for periodontitis patients.


Bleaching or tooth whitening:
Professional teeth bleaching at the chair. By means of special bleaching lamp the bleaching gel is activated on the tooth. Brilliant white teeth in the long term requires occasional repetitions of the procedure.

Specific Treatments

Orthodontics:


Free braces only in Linz.
Invisible and visible braces for children, teenagers and adults.  Aligner therapy or fixed braces as well as combination treatments with braces and oral surgery adjustment. Treatment of the open bite without surgical intervention etc. etc.

Fixed orthodontics - Free Braces Linz

Since the beginning of the free braces, we have had the health insurance contract for orthodontics in our practice in Linz. Patients with a malposition IOTN 4 or 5 receive braces until the age of 18 via direct billing with the health insurance companies.


After the study is before the study:
Further training with Dr. Guido Sampermans (Maastricht) on the segmental arch technique and Straightwire Appliance, Prof. Martin Richter (Salzburg), as well as learning the Multiloop Edgewise Appliance- method under Prof. Sadao Sato (Japan) and Prof. Rudolf Slavicek (Vienna) respectively for the treatment of more difficult cases ( e.g. open bites, asymmetries and class III ) for the most part without surgical intervention, allow me a wide range of treatment options.


I attended numerous training courses and spent hours and days of voluntary observation and cooperation in various practices at home and abroad. For 4 years I treated weekly at the orthodontic department of the Dr. W. Brenner Institute (Vienna) under OA. Dr. Thomas Francan.


All these years of learning and working on patients, enable me to offer a wide range of treatment options and ensure the most efficient treatment possible. In teamwork with my colleagues we manage to solve even complicated cases.

Patient communication is our concern

Wishes, ideas and medical necessities are explained in conversation, supported by digital visual material. Only when the patient has understood why certain interventions have to be made can a trusting treatment take place.

Group Practice

Our practices in Vienna and Linz are characterized by the close cooperation of orthodontics and other dental specialties such as maxillofacial surgery or oral surgery within a joint facility away from a university clinic. I and my colleagues work in continuous exchange with each other, which enables optimal efficiency in the procedures for our patients. The different focuses of both disciplines complement each other in an ideal way and lead to optimized results. This is particularly evident in procedures such as the removal of wisdom teeth or the placement of implants during aligner treatment. Thanks to the careful planning of both specialties, unnecessary complications can be avoided. The procedures are well coordinated, which ensures smooth and time-efficient treatments.


An additional advantage is that all steps are carried out in one place, without patients having to shuttle back and forth between different practices. Our primary goal is to provide the highest level of comfort by combining comprehensive treatment options under one roof.

01 Yes We Scan
01

With the help of a special intraoral camera, images of the jaw arches or tooth sections are taken. This generates a 3D model on the computer, on the basis of which technical work can be done either by printing a model or directly on the computer. Impression taking with the familiar impression materials and trays is no longer necessary.

02 Orthodontics
02

Every smile has its own requirements. Fixed or removable as well as visible and invisible braces provide relief. Every tooth and jaw misalignment also has its own symptoms. We can treat poor oral hygiene, due to teeth that are too close together, or muscle tension, back pain, jaw joint problems and premature tooth loss due to overloading of the masticatory system.

03 First Aid for Braces
03

First aid for problems with braces! If you have just had your fixed or invisible braces fitted, you may experience temporary pain. The teeth first have to get used to the gentle movement. Particularly when chewing hard foods, you then feel the tension, which can manifest itself as bite sensitivity. Contact us if you have any questions. 

04 Pediatric dental treatment
04

Children's dental treatment is a matter of the heart for us in the Vienna office. On the Milk teeth, which starts approximately from the 4. month of life become visible, and the first permanent teeth in the 6. year of life. After all, special attention should be paid to this.

05 Fear of Dentists
05

Don't worry, we won't touch your teeth unless you want us to. With us, you always know what the next step is and what is going on. Very often, all it takes for patients to relax is just to get to know us and our tools a little better.

06 Professional Dental Cleaning
06

Not all plaque can be combated by home oral hygiene alone. Bacteria that are found in deeper gum pockets or in hard-to-reach places should be removed once or twice a year with professional oral hygiene (dental prophylaxis) to keep the teeth and periodontium healthy.

07 Fillings
07

To treat decayed or damaged teeth, there are direct fillings such as amalgam or plastic composite and indirect fillings such as ceramic or gold inlays, which are made in the laboratory after an impression or scan of the tooth has been taken. We will help you find the right type.

08 Prosthesis
08

There are different ways to replace missing teeth. For example, all-ceramic crowns or ceramic-veneered solutions for larger defects, bridges to restore one or more teeth, and implants that can replace the entire jaw. We will find a suitable option for your individual needs.
