Biography
Vitor Neves believes Dentistry is at risk of becoming a technical profession instead of a medical profession. He has been dedicating his career to understanding the human body biology, so that new dental treatments are fully based on the natural process of body healing. His ambition is to shape the future of Dentistry via molecular biology, genetics and epigenetics, creating products that are industry viable, and affordable for the general public, helping patients to naturally grow and repair their own oral tissues and organs.
