Dr. Gergely Hriczó-Koperdak

Conservative dentistry and prosthodontics specialist

I’ve graduated Summa Cum Laude from the Faculty of Dentistry at Semmelweis University. As a scholarship student, I had the opportunity to broaden my perspective on foreign study tours during my university years. During these tours, I tried my best to master the most modern methods available on the field of dentistry while setting my mind onto a high level of professional quality.

After graduation, I started working at the university’s Clinic of Conservative Dentistry where I had the chance to join and teach dental medical students in Hungarian / foreign language. I started my further vocational training in 2015, in the field of preservation dentistry and prosthodontics. I have successfully passed the final specialist examination in 2018. The high standard of work which was required by the clinic, the up-to-date monitoring of Hungarian and foreign professional magazines as well as participating on national and international science forums all form an integral part of expanding my professional knowledge.

Dental procedures are really complex and complicated. In order to provide satisfaction for our clients for the longest time, I believe that we should always strive to find the most appropriate solutions for our clients aesthetically and functionally in particular. I find it very important that each and every treatment should be performed painlessly, in a calm and pleasant atmosphere. Dental visits often require complex and lengthy interventions - in such cases, it is indispensable to create a cooperation based on the mutual trust of dentist and patient.

Through the theoretical and practical teaching of my dental medical students I acquired a significant volume of pedagogical practice, which contributes to my infinite empathy while treating my patients. Each of my dental interventions is done with the utmost precision and care. Only that type of work is permissible where the quality itself is responsible for the guarantee.

Endodontics occupies a prominent place among the main fields of my professional interests. Due to the possibilities that magnifications provides, it became one of the most dynamically developing branches of dentistry. I try my best to keep up with the rapid development of digital technology, including the facilities offered by chairside CAD / CAM procedures.

Besides performing minimally invasive dental treatments, I do aesthetic, prosthetic, periodontal and minor oral surgical interventions as well.
