She then specialised in prosthetic dentistry and was appointed privat-docent at the University of Mainz in 1996. In 2003, she joined the UNIGE Faculty of Medicine as an associate professor before being promoted to full professor in 2011.

Throughout her career, Frauke Müller has made a significant contribution to the development of dental medicine in Geneva. She served as Director of the Department of Orofacial Rehabilitation at the University Clinic of Dental Medicine (CUMD) from 2017 to 2021, and as President of the CUMD from 2018 to 2022. Deeply committed to the oral health of older people and individuals with disabilities, she played an important role in fostering collaboration between the University and the Department of Rehabilitation and Geriatrics at the Geneva University Hospitals (HUG), notably through the training of geriatricians and healthcare staff.
