Helmut "Mick"

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!
