The Dentist

In a quiet street in central Germany stands an old residential house that once served as a dental practice. Behind the façade, time appears to have stood still. Several treatment rooms still contain heavy mechanical dental chairs, large operating lamps, and fixed washbasins, all dating from a fully analogue period of dentistry.

Along the walls are cabinets filled with metal instruments and dozens of plaster dental molds, used to create dentures and crowns directly on site. A desk covered with papers and a doctor’s coat left behind suggest the practice was closed abruptly and never cleared out.

Today, this abandoned dental clinic forms an authentic snapshot of a medical profession from another era, preserved in the state in which it was once used every day.
