Dr. Robert Hewitt

He is also an avid Bayern Munich football fan. As all Bavarians will say.. Mia San Mia! (‘We are who we are!’)

The potential of modern dentistry is primarily determined by the equipment. However, to fully use its technological capabilities, knowledge, experience and specific skills in the field of all dental specialities and comprehensive treatment methods are necessary.

Raising professional qualifications that determine the systematic progression of the dentist’s work efficiency is extremely important.

For this reason, Robert regularly updates his knowledge and excellent skills by participating in elite and highly specialized conferences and courses conducted by the most outstanding foreign experts in these fields.
