The story of a dental practice rich in expertise and dedication
1958
Dr Jean-Jacques Tétaz opened his dental practice in 1958, after completing his initial training in dentistry in Geneva and a course in maxillofacial surgery in Düsseldorf. Passionate about dental aesthetics, he studied at the University of Southern California (USC) and worked on onlays and veneers, which were the benchmark for aesthetics at the time. The practice soon specialised in surgery and complex post-traumatic prosthetic reconstructions, establishing its reputation for excellence and expertise in dental care.
1969
1993
The continuity of our history was assured in 1993 when Dr Luc Tétaz, son of the founder, joined his father as a partner in the practice.
Drawing on his experience in preventive dentistry and surgery, gained in particular at the University of Lausanne Medical Polyclinic ( PMU ), Dr Luc Tétaz expanded the practice's expertise to include implantology, bone and periodontal regeneration surgery, and aesthetic dentistry.
1995
Dr Luc Tétaz took over the reins of the practice 2 years later, bringing with him a wealth of experience and an unwavering desire to continue the family legacy. His quest for excellence led him to obtain an SSO postgraduate diploma in oral implantology and an SSO post-graduate diploma in general dentistry, while enhancing his skills in dental aesthetics by working with the best in the field.
2021
Dr. Chloé Garcia will be joining the practice in 2021 and will significantly strengthen the team. With her clinical skills in dental emergencies and oral surgery, she will help us to continually improve the quality of our dental care.
2023
Today, the practice has adopted the new name Oral Clinic by Tétaz, while remaining faithful to the original philosophy and preserving the values that have guided our practice since 1958. Guided by our passion for hygiene and prevention, we do everything in our power to prevent oral problems and guarantee the long-term future of our care.
We have always been guided by the desire to support families and individuals throughout their lives. Because with us, you're not just a patient, you're a person in your own right.

Dr. Luc Tétaz
Dr. Luc Tétaz began his career in dentistry by obtaining his Master’s degree in dentistry in 1991, followed by his doctorate at the University of Geneva in 1993. He then had the opportunity to work for two rewarding years at the Lausanne University Medical Polyclinic (PMU) under the benevolent guidance of Dr. Michel Perrier, while collaborating with various dental practices.
He is also an active member of the Société Vaudoise des médecins-dentistes and the Société Suisse d’odontostomatologie, two associations that share his passion for dentistry.
In 1995, Dr. Tétaz took over the dental practice of his father, Dr. Jean-Jacques Tétaz, and expanded it in 2000, thus contributing to his professional legacy.
On a day-to-day basis, his practice covers a wide range of areas, from implant surgery to gingival and bone grafting, extractions, wisdom teeth and endodontics. He also extends his expertise to prosthetic reconstructions, whether on implants or on natural teeth, making bridges, crowns and ceramic veneers. He also works closely with an osteopath to help treat temporomandibular joint disorders and postural problems, all non-invasively.
Dr. Chloé Garcia
After completing her compulsory education in Aubonne and obtaining her Maturité in Morges at the age of 17, Chloé Garcia decided to take a sabbatical year to improve her language skills through educational stays in the United States and Spain.
She obtained her Bachelor’s degree in dentistry in 2017, followed by her Master’s degree in 2019 at the University of Geneva, at the age of 23. Between 2019 and 2021, she will enrich her career as a dental assistant at the HUG, working in the department of Oral Surgery and Implantology Department, while writing her thesis. During this time, she gained valuable experience in dealing with dental emergencies and surgical procedures. She also discovered the world of private practice on the French Riviera, combining two complementary aspects of the profession.
Her desire to broaden her horizons has led her to join Dr Luc Tétaz’s dental practice in September 2021. She brings with her a solid background of clinical skills and theoretical knowledge acquired during her academic and hospital experience.
In 2022, she will become a member of the SSO, an important step in her career.
