“The concept of biological dentistry and ceramic implants by Dr. Ulrich was so convincing, that after 23 years in a group practice, I decided to open a new practice so that I can implement this treatment concept 100%. The success of this new branch of dentistry is incredible. The improvement of the patients' quality of life is not limited to my speciality. The highest demands regarding tolerance, health and aesthetics are fulfilled."
Dr. Julia Witthöft (Kiel, Germany)
