Smita Team
Dr. Raimonda Bagdonaviciute
Founder of SMITA
Advanced Smile Design Specialist
I am highly passionate about my work, I have always been attracted to science and also to arts in my free time, that is why I consciously chose to work with Smile Design.
Besides that I have a very strong sense of compassion and I follow a path of conscious self-development in my personal and professional life.
Since 2016 I started working in Spain, in different private clinics in Mallorca and Barcelona.
The knowledge that I have gained through these years and the passion for my work led to opening my own dental practice in Barcelona in 2019.
Today I am the Head of SMITA - a very successful Advanced Smile Design Center in Barcelona where we have reinvented conventional dentistry and created a safe and trustworthy space for both - our team and patients.
In our clinic you will always find peace, trust and fully devoted professionals.
