Dr. Luiz Carlos Magno Filho

BDS, MSc
Would like to extend a warm welcome to all of you.
Allow me to share a bit about my background. I was born and raised in São Paulo, Brazil. After more than 38 years in one of the world's largest cities, with a population of approximately 22.8 million, I made the decision to relocate to the United States.
I have a deep passion for my profession, which is rooted in a family tradition of dentistry. My grandfather was one of the first dentists in our neighborhood, and this commitment to the field remains strong in my family today.

I graduated from Paulista University with a degree in dentistry in 2005 and subsequently completed a two-year residency in the oral medicine department at Heliopolis Hospital in São Paulo. In 2010, I specialized in implant dentistry, and three years later, I earned a master's degree in periodontics. I am a certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon and have been involved in private practice while also serving for seven years at the Air Force Hospital in São Paulo.

Throughout my career, I have lectured both nationally and internationally, and I have an extensive record of publications, including papers and book chapters, as well as presentations at conferences. For many years, I have been dedicated to the development of numerous students. I am presently functioning as an Assistant Professor in the Division of Integrated Biomedical Sciences and OMFS at the distinguished University of Detroit Mercy*.
