I qualified as a dentist DDS (Dr. med. dent.) from the University of Munich,
Bavaria/Germany in 1993.
I was lucky to work with some of the best dentists, surgeons and professors
in different fields and gathered experience in preventive dentistry,
restorative dentistry, working with children and disabled people, oral
surgery, and maxillofacial surgery. I started working in a very busy family
clinic for two years. I opened my first clinic in 1995 with focus on family and
preventive care, gum disease treatment, root canal treatment (endodontics)
and implants - I placed my first implant in 1993. One of my clients was a
nursing home for disabled people and people with special needs and I was
the school dentist for a couple of primary schools. I do everything I can to
make sure that my patients are relaxed and comfortable. I aim to show
children that there is no need to be scared and I put anxious adults or
medically compromised patients at ease so they can receive the treatment
they need.
I really enjoy helping my patients maintain good (dental) health and listen to
them. Every patient has got their own individual story and I love to take my
time to listen - the most important part is what you need and what your
expectations are to find a solution for you! I love thinking outside the box
and discussing options with a look at the big picture.
Through my experience I was chosen to become a lecturer and instructor in
different fields like smile-make-over, oral surgery, laser therapy,
computerized dentistry (CEREC) where I could share again my experience
with students and fellow colleagues all over the world. I published articles
about computerized dentistry and laser and wrote a book together with a
colleague about management of a preventive dental surgery.
In 2010 my wife and I moved to Australia where I worked in the city and
rural communities. I have always made sure to participate in continued
education to stay on top of the possibilities and challenges in dentistry.
With almost 30 years of experience I believe to be a great value to the
community and I am proud to offer a good quality dental care and service
around you. My focus has always been my patients and I have been to
continued education courses domestic and international to provide the best
dental care and technology for my patients. I enjoy all aspects of general
dentistry and a happy smile from my patients is the best reward!
