Between the Teeth

This episode was recorded in a truly special setting; not in our studio, but at Handelsbeurs Antwerpen, during the bone & tissue day Antwerp 2026. Dr. Dinu joined us at the table for an episode about perseverance, identity, and passion, and of course about dentistry and regeneration.

In this episode, we visit Joerd van der Meer in Zwolle. Joerd is a dentist, endodontist, and researcher specializing in 3D technology, AI, and robotics in dentistry. His life has taken him to many places, so he is a true nomad, citizen of the world, or cosmopolitan. An episode about his passions, motivations, and his personal and professional journey.

In this episode, we meet Martijn Kerver at his own implantology practice in Garderen. In 2016, he earned his NVOI certification and was one of the youngest implantologists in the Netherlands to do so. Together with his wife, he is the driving force behind the Implacademy, he as an instructor, and she in charge of organization and development. Listen to how entrepreneurship, education, and quality go hand in hand.

In this episode, we meet Johan Wijbenga, a plastic surgeon specialized in reconstructive surgery, microsurgery and cosmetic facial surgery. He has taken many paths and detours to get where he is today. His motto: For every problem, there are ten solutions. An episode about considerations, choices, and outside influences.

In this episode, we speak with Irfan Abas, a valued colleague and, by now, a friend as well. Irfan was born in Beijing, grew up in Zoetermeer, and was educated in Amsterdam. He always dreamed of becoming a pilot, but now he runs his own clinic and trains implantologists through his own Abas Academy. A conversation about his journey, his choices, the balance between work and personal life, and what still drives him to keep growing.
