Dr. Frank Vanhove has been working as an implantologist in AZ Monica Deurne since 2003. He mainly focuses on implantology, pre-prosthetic surgery and the digitalisation of the clinical workflow.

Combining his surgical expertise and interest in technology, he manages the Immediate Loading team in Antwerp in their quest for the most efficient digital process for patients whose entire dental arch needs to be replaced.

Teamapproach, clear communication and a comfortable patient experience are crucial to him.

“The constant search for innovation is the engine of our team.”

Dr. Patrick Winderickx obtained his doctorate in medicine at KU Leuven in 1984 and a licentiate in dentistry at KU Leuven in 1987.

This was followed by a specialisation as Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon at the Philipps Universität in Marburg, Germany in 1991.

Since 1992, he has been working in A.Z. Monica in Deurne. He focuses on implantology, including zygomatic implants and aesthetic facial surgery.

Since 2002, dentist Joris Wilmaers has focused on crowns, bridges and implant-based prosthetics. His prosthetic expertise and professional drive were important ingredients to fine-tune the digital flow for full arch immediate loading.

His clinical experience and clear treatment planning often makes the difference in extensive treatments.

“Teamapproach is crucial for a top result.”
