We offer modern dental care with a focus on quality, accessibility, and care – both for our patients and for each other.
Sävar is a place where it is easy to feel at home. It is safe and family-friendly, with schools, a swimming pool, a library, and proximity to both forests, the sea, and recreational activities. The Sävar River beautifully winds through the community, providing both quality of life and tranquility. Commuting distances are short, with the pulse of Umeå just 20 minutes away.
We welcome your application!
