We did not want a dental practice.

There is fine dining. Fine art. Fine jewelry. For dentistry, nothing. So we created it.

Felix Zaritzki opened his own practice at Gendarmenmarkt in 2009. From the first day it was unlike anything anyone knew. The medicine was clinical. Nothing else was. Not the rooms. Not the scent. Not the way anyone spoke to you. You were expected. By name, before you gave it. None of it was chance. He had chosen every part of it. The practice that never looked like one would later appear in Architectural Digest Germany. The first dental practice ever to do so.

And behind all of it, what mattered more than any of it: a dentist who treated his patients the way you treat the people who mean most to you. They came from the first day. Before the doors were even fitted. From Germany and abroad, many of them public figures, most of them known to one another. They found each other there, among antiquarian books, made-to-measure furniture and African art. Calling them in for their appointment felt like an interruption.

In 2013 he met Diana, a senior brand strategist at leading international agencies. On their first date he dared to ask whether she would advise him. Strategically. She laughed. Dentistry had never been on her list. Then, one Sunday afternoon in spring, she stood in a practice that looked like no other. And she knew.

Their collaboration began that day. So did everything else. She discarded what a medical practice had always been and transformed uncompromising medicine into a patient experience no one had thought possible. Diana develops the system, Felix the treatment. She shaped a practice into an institution. The second house on Kurfürstendamm is her work. He, the clinician, mentors dentists who were specialists before they came to him. The most demanding work in dentistry is his: full-mouth rehabilitation, the entire mouth, rebuilt from the face. Together, they made the name Zaritzki an address that had no precedent. Two minds, one work. Felix opened the first practice. Together they founded Zaritzki Fine Dentistry, and they lead it together to this day.

Those who arrive for the first time forget what they thought they knew about going to the dentist. And discover what dentistry can be.

The Specialists

Every dentist here was hand-picked: trained at a university clinic, specialized in one field for years, scientifically active and publishing in it. They take the most complex cases. What they all share is a standard: The Zaritzki Standard.

The Houses

Kurfürstendamm and Gendarmenmarkt: two worlds, composed for people who do not separate beauty from comfort.

Gendarmenmarkt came first: a London members' club in dark cherry wood, with a fireplace, antiquarian books, African art and rare mid-century pieces.

Then the bel étage on Kurfürstendamm, its feminine counterpart: a marble hall in black-and-white checkerboard, a salon of cream bouclé and dusty-rose velvet, a handmade vintage chandelier in rosé Murano glass.

Two houses, one measure: medicine you do not expect, aesthetics you can trust, in rooms you would rather not leave.
