Born in 1964, Dr. Karl Ulrich Volz completed his dental studies at Ulm University, where he concluded his dissertation on detecting components of dental amalgam in the dental pulp of individuals with amalgam fillings. He then spent his assistantship at the "Süddeutsches Zentrum für Orale Implantologie" before founding a purely private practice in 1991, becoming Germany's youngest dentist at the time.

In 1998, he obtained certifications in Biological Dentistry, followed by Implantology in 1999. A year later, Dr. Volz founded the BODENSEE ZAHNKLINIK with up to 12 dentists and inpatient care. From 2001 to 2004, he developed the Z-Look zirconia implant, one of the first approved ceramic implants, leading to the establishment of Z-Systems in 2004.

Continuing his pioneering efforts, he introduced ultrasound implants in 2006, followed by ultrasound-assisted membrane technology for bone augmentation in 2007 (Sonic Weld).

Founding of SDS

Since 2007, he has been at the forefront of developing the latest generation of immediate ceramic implants, leading to the founding of SDS Swiss Dental Solutions AG, which is now the world leader among ceramic implant manufacturers.

From 2002 to 2012, Dr. Volz developed the first two-part ceramic implants, now with higher strength values than comparable titanium implants. Further innovations include the development of the latest generation of single-piece hybrid implants in 2013–2014.

In 2014, he assumed the role of founding president of the renowned International Society of Metal-Free Implantology (ISMI). The next logical step came in 2016 with the founding of the SWISS BIOHEALTH CLINIC for biological dentistry and medicine in Kreuzlingen, as well as the SWISS BIOHEALTH EDUCATION CENTERS in 2017, attracting over 4,000 participants annually.

From 2017 to 2019, Dr. Volz dedicated himself to the development of Bone Growing Implants and the BISS Bone Implant Stabilization System. Seamlessly, he proceeded with the development and introduction of the ad-hoc navigation system Anatomical Implant Method (AIM) and the Aesthetic Reconstruction Procedure (RAP), and published the Guided Augmentation Procedures (GAP) manual with his surgeons at the Swiss Biohealth Clinic, along with corresponding training courses with hands-on and live surgeries. In 2021, he published his LONGEVITY FAST TRACK GUIDE in German and English.

In 2022, the most precise Fully Guided Navigation system, SDSBOX, was developed and accredited by the CleanImplant Foundation as the first navigation system ever. Additionally, both the SDSAIM ad hoc navigation system and the 1.2_BRIGHT_2.2 ceramic implant system received CleanImplant accreditation, with the implant system being the first in the world to receive dual CleanImplant certification (production and manufacturing).

At the end of 2023, Dr. Volz welcomed one of the leading PE investors in the medical industry, "Gilde Healthcare," as well as leading industry experts as partners in his company, SDS Swiss Dental Solutions, to further accelerate and professionalize the development of the implant company.

With a remarkable track record, Dr. Volz has placed over 30,000 ceramic implants since 2001, establishing himself as a leader in his field.

Since 2017, Dr. Ulrich Volz, along with other renowned speakers and experts, has been sharing his knowledge on Biological Dentistry, Ceramic Implants, and Blood Concentrates at the SWISS BIOHEALTH EDUCATION CENTRE in Kreuzlingen. They offer an exceptional modern training program subject to continuous optimization. The unique treatment methods and the unique worldwide surgical approach form the core of all training opportunities.
