He was recruited to Harvard School of Dental Medicine, where he won the Leo Talkoy Award for excellence in clinical dentistry and his Doctorate of Dental Medicine, (DMD).

Graduated in 2008 in dentistry from Faculdade Baiana in Salvador, Dr Felipe went to Bauru, São Paulo, one of the reference cities in dentistry in Brazil and Latin America, where he specialized in the area of Prosthesis and Oral Rehabilitation at University of São Paulo – his ultimate dream of the time from college.

Together, they went to the United States of America, where they took an implant refresher course at Columbia University College of Dental Medicine in New York, coordinated by the director and professor Dr. Dennis Perry Tarnow, one of the great references in dentistry and implantology worldwide.
