I’m an experienced dental technician in crown and bridge as well as fabrication of dental prosthetics.
Originally trained in Germany where I worked in Munich the first year after graduating in Stuttgart, I’ve come to New Zealand in 2010 and have since then worked here in Laboratories.
My aim is to provide the best outcome for the patient and client and driving to achieve great functional and aesthetic results.
