"Running my own practice with a wonderful team is a dream come true and brings me great satisfaction. The extremely positive feedback and the trust you, our valued patients, have placed in me are a priceless gift. I would therefore like to take this opportunity to thank you most sincerely!"
These were my words at the beginning of my career as a practicing dentist (2013) and they still remain today, after so many years of experience in my own practice, Dentanova!
I've since developed a passion for implantology, especially the biological variant – ceramic implants. I'm also very interested in the entire field of biological dentistry, which is becoming increasingly important. I continue to enthusiastically pursue further education so that I can offer my patients the best possible care for their needs."

AMANDA BÄRTSCHI
Co-owner, prophylactic assistant, practice organization, and reception
The veteran of the practice – your reliable contact person
I have been firmly rooted here since 2012. First with Dr. Spanke, and since 2013 together with Ms. Marinescu, I have brought a breath of fresh air and a lot of passion to the practice. Over the last ten years, we have not only introduced modern dentistry, but also created an atmosphere in which our patients can feel completely at ease.
With a few exceptions, you can find me in the practice every day. Whether at reception, on the phone or during dental prophylaxis - I am your first point of contact when it comes to invoices, scheduling appointments or optimizing processes. And of course I am also responsible for our great team, my "power women" with whom I enjoy working every day.
A milestone in our history was the transformation of the practice into a KLG The beginning of 2023 – a step that I am taking with great enthusiasm together with Ms. Marinescu. This moment represents growth, innovation and the shared commitment to offering you the best possible dental care.
My motto is: There is a solution for every problem – and if you ask me, a pinch of humor too! Don't hesitate to contact me. I look forward to helping you with advice and support – and maybe even putting a smile on your face before you even sit down in the treatment chair.
NINO TORRES
Dental hygiene specialist
Ms. Torres is highly qualified in supra- and subgingival tooth cleaning and will train you in the correct use of toothbrushes etc. She also treats individual gum pockets - if necessary, with a laser - all as part of prophylaxis. For those of you who don't like ultrasound, she also cleans teeth manually upon request. Please just let us know before the treatment.
Ms. Torres will also be happy to show you how to use various dental care products such as electric toothbrushes, interdental brushes and dental floss and is the right contact person for all questions about the cleanliness of your teeth.
“I work carefully and at the same time very thoroughly and take great care of keeping your teeth clean and maintaining the health of your mouth. Dental hygiene is my passion!”
AROA DE OLIVEIRA
Dental Assistant EFZ
Aroa de Oliveira successfully completed her training as a dental assistant in our practice – and we are delighted that she has stayed. Today, she supports our team with great commitment in day-to-day operations: whether in assisting, planning, or organizing the practice's daily routine.
Aroa was born in Spain and has lived in Switzerland since she was 13. Her not-perfect German dialect makes her all the more likeable—and just as popular with our patients as she is with us on the team.
With her warm, attentive, and reliable manner, she is a valuable support in all areas of the practice. We are very happy to continue to have Aroa by our side.
Nillany Thambirajah
Dental hygiene intern (training to become a certified dental hygienist)
We are delighted to welcome Nillany Thambirajah back to our team. She successfully completed her apprenticeship as a dental assistant in our practice several years ago – many patients will surely remember her friendly nature and dedicated approach.
After several years of professional experience, she decided to pursue further training as a certified dental hygienist (HF). She deliberately chose to return to us for the one-year internship as part of this training—a decision that makes us both very happy and proud.
Nillany is already very familiar with our processes, our team, and our practice philosophy. This allowed her to seamlessly return to the daily routine and complements our team not only excellently from a professional perspective, but also in a wonderful way. With her open, empathetic manner and her keen interest in modern preventive medicine, she brings valuable insights to our daily work.
As part of her internship, Nillany offers professional teeth cleanings at a discounted rate. Since she's still in training, the treatment may take a little longer, but she'll always be supervised and supervised by one of our dentists. Appointments can be booked directly with us.
Sonia Aguilar
Dental assistant in training (3rd year)

Sonia was born in Switzerland and has Brazilian roots. She is fluent in Portuguese, Spanish, and German, and also understands Italian. She is a great asset to our team and our patients.
With her open, helpful, and dedicated nature, she quickly settled into the daily routine of the practice. She shows great interest in her profession and supports us with motivation and reliability in all areas.
We are delighted to be able to accompany Sonia on her further journey.
DENTIST DENTANOVA - PHILOSOPHY
AT DENTANOVA DENTISTRY WE DON'T TREAT TEETH. WE TREAT PEOPLE!
Especially when visiting the dentist, you want to know that you are in safe hands. Personal, friendly interaction and intensive advice in a welcoming atmosphere are therefore more than important to us. Both together create trust and security.
We only offer you services that make sense for you individually and advise you in detail about all available options. Thanks to modern, innovative technologies, we can guarantee you particularly gentle and safe treatment - and at particularly fair conditions.
Why you can trust us? Because we know one thing for sure:
Patients are discharged. People come back ❤️
STATE-OF-THE-ART DENTISTRY AT DENTANOVA THAT BENEFITS YOU
In recent years, dentistry has celebrated several groundbreaking innovations and we cheered every time! Why do you also have reason to celebrate?
For example, because since the introduction of the dental laser, treatments have become possible without contact and pain. To put it simply: drilling without a drill!
Furthermore, with the help of Cerec, we can usually offer high-quality crown and even bridge solutions made of aesthetic and biologically compatible all-ceramic in just a single session. The special highlight: We have installed the system in the practice so that you can watch live on site how the crowns are milled from all-ceramic.
In addition, with the EMS Air-Flow Master we have a very special prophylactic device with a variety of advantages at our disposal. Using a mixture of air, powder and water, plaque is removed from teeth, root surfaces and implants gently, efficiently and reliably - that's what we call professional tooth cleaning at the highest level.
As you can see, if you have any questions about oral health, you are in the best hands with us.
We provide you with comprehensive, competent and gentle care.
