About

I am a sixth-generation Brazilian dentist and my family has worked in dentistry for over 170 years, as verified by Guinness World Records. Not only did I qualify as a dentist from the most highly-recognized dental school in South America, the University of São Paulo Dental School in 2002, I hold a double degree, having also graduated as a dental laboratory technician in 1995. My career path has taken me around the world and earned me multiple accolades, such as being a member of the Brazilian, European and American Academies of Esthetic Dentistry, becoming the only dentist to have been invited as a member to all three prestigious organisations. Combining my advanced skills, experience and technology solutions, I pioneered the Digital Smile Design methodology and founded Digital Smile Design company (DSD). Since its inception, thousands of dentists worldwide have attended DSD courses and workshops, such as the renowned DSD Residency program. I am the Founder of Digital Smile Design company and creator of the Digital Smile Design methodology. I lecture at dental conferences around the world every year and I am published in academic journals in the fields of esthetic and digital dentistry, facially-driven design, dental photography, oral rehabilitation, dental ceramics, implants, and communication strategies and marketing in dentistry.
