Leif Svensson

Dr Leif Svensson is a prosthodontic practitioner and an international Key Opinion Leader in digital dentistry with over 20 years of experience spanning advanced prosthodontics, dental laboratory production and digital workflow innovation. His career has been built at the intersection of clinical, laboratories and manufacturing, with a strong conviction that dental laboratories are among the most effective environments for meaningful innovation in modern dentistry.

Leif has played a central role in the development and clinical translation of advanced digital prosthetic and full-arch workflows, grounded in clinical output reality. His work now focuses on how clinical intent and decision-making are translated through industry systems into reliable production workflows, and ultimately into predictable real-world patient outcomes. By working across data capture, design, and manufacturing constraints he helps bridge the gap between what practitioners plan and what laboratories must consistently deliver.

At Straumann Lab Days, Leif’s presentation explores why Labs are not just production centers, but potentially the natural birthplace of the present and next generation of dental innovation.
