Many of our patients know Björn already. He has been with us for the last 3 years and has helped with his expertise in treating complex cases. Björn graduated as a dentist from Erlangen-Nuremberg University, Germany, in 1997. After working in a research group dealing with the causes of gum disease, he obtained a doctorate in periodontology in 2001.
