Biography
Dr Nikolaos Raptis is a dentist who limits his practice to advanced implant dentistry, focusing on full-arch rehabilitation and immediate loading techniques. He is the founder and clinical director of Advanced Implant Clinics in Glyfada, Athens, and Director of Implantology at the Frontida / MALO Dental clinic in Ioannina.
He works mainly with patients who have extensive tooth loss or complex oral health problems, providing fixed solutions within a short time frame in cases where conventional treatment is no longer enough.
His clinical approach is built on the original All-on-4® protocol developed by Dr Paulo Maló, combining immediate implant placement and loading with 3D digital treatment planning and CBCT-based guided surgery. He was a partner of the MALO CLINIC Group in Greece from 2017 to 2019 and carries out guided bone and soft tissue regeneration where the site requires it.
Education
Dr Raptis qualified in dentistry at the School of Dentistry of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens in 2000. He went on to complete a postgraduate programme in Oral Medicine and Oral Pathology at the same school.
In 2008 he completed a Master of Science in Pain Management at the Medical School of the University of Ioannina. The university’s open repository holds his dissertation, “Relationship of gene polymorphism with individualised opioid sensitivity”, under the permanent identifier doi.org/10.26268/heal.uoi.2771.

He further expanded his professional activity in 2017 by founding Advanced Implant Clinics in Glyfada, a dental practice focusing on full-mouth implant restorations under his leadership.
In 2002, he presented “Brånemark Novum: a new treatment modality for rehabilitation of the edentulous mandible” at the 22nd Panhellenic Dental Congress — one of the first full-arch immediate-loading protocols and the foundation of the field in which he works today.
