Dr Goly Abivardi

Dr Goly Abivardi, Swiss dentist, innovator, and serial entrepreneur, is the CEO and co-founder of vVARDIS a medtech company with the first product to regenerate enamel for treating incipient lesions with a medical approach. Her professional journey is shared with her sister, Dr Haley Abivardi and reflected in their joint endeavours. 

Haley studied medicine and dentistry at the University of Zürich and then later co-led, along with her sister Haley, a public paediatric dental clinic linked to primary schools that emphasised preventive care, treating thousands of children from low-income backgrounds. 

In 2003, she co-founded Swiss Smile, the first Dental clinic group in Switzerland and the first fear-free dental clinic group in Europe. 

In parallel, she co-ran a dental hygiene school. At this time, Haley, together with her sister, came across an innovative biomimetic peptide-based technology, able to treat early caries through enamel regeneration, thereby introducing a conservative rather than a restorative approach.  

To support the adoption of this technology and empower dental professionals with sub-clinical treatment strategies, she co-founded vVARDIS, a life-sciences medtech company, in 2020. 

vVARDIS’ mission is to allow everyone access to the next generation of preventive dentistry, improving the oral health and overall health of the global population.
