More about us
Team
Alto Dental’s team consists of implantologists, dentists, and dental technicians, all with the same mission: to provide people with new fixed teeth on implants quickly and with minimal discomfort. Because everything is performed within the same team and with our innovative digital protocol, we offer you transparent pricing and clear treatment timing.
Surgeons
Dr. Frank Vanhove has been working as an implantologist at AZ Monica Deurne since 2003. He mainly focuses on implantology, preprosthetic surgery and the implementation of digitalisation within the clinical workflow.
From his surgical expertise and technological interest, he directs the immediate loading team at Deurne in their search for an efficient digital pathway for patients where the entire dental arch needs to be replaced.
Team approach, clear communication and a reliable patient experience are crucial to him in the process.
“The constant search for innovation drives our team.”
Dr. Patrick Winderickx obtained his doctorate in medicine from KU Leuven in 1984 and his licentiate in dentistry from KU Leuven in 1987.
This was followed by a specialisation in oral and maxillofacial surgery at the Philipps University in Marburg, Germany in 1991.
Since 1992 he has been working at A.Z. Monica in Deurne. He focuses on implantology, including zygoma implants and aesthetic facial surgery.
Dentists
Since 2002, dentist Joris Wilmaers has mainly focused on classic crown and bridge work and implant-borne prosthetics. His prosthetic expertise and drive were important ingredients in the creation of a smooth digital flow for full arch immediate loading.
In comprehensive treatments, his clinical experience and clear treatment planning often make the difference.
“Team approach is crucial for a top result.”
Jonas Peeters graduated in 2019 with a master’s degree in dentistry.
He further specialised in prosthetic and restorative dentistry at KU Leuven.
He completed this 4-year degree with an internship abroad in Sydney and Milan, with a focus on digital dentistry.
He focuses on implant rehabilitations, minimally invasive aesthetic dentistry and the treatment of dental abrasion.
