Dr. Luis Barbosa
Since I was young I have always wanted to travel and know different cultures. During my dentistry degree at the University of Porto, I had the opportunity to study abroad. I was awarded two international scholarships for the University of Poznan, Poland and for the world renowned Faculty of Dentistry of Bauru of the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil.
I have started my professional career in Sweden where I have learned world class public dental service practices and protocols.
After 2 years in Sweden I decided it was time to try something different and moved to Aberdeen, Scotland where I worked for 5 years. During this time I got to meet Eduardo Crooke, Europe’s leading implantologist, who inspired me to get my Postgraduate Certificate in Implantology and was a great mentor with whom I improved myself. The relationship brought the next step in my career when I was invited to work alongside him in his brand new Glasgow clinic 3 step smiles using the latest technologies and procedures to provide the best Implantology has to offer.
