Choosing a dentist in Antwerp becomes more important when your treatment involves several disciplines rather than a routine filling or check-up. VIDENT Dental Clinic in Antwerp has built its clinical model around a multidisciplinary team, with separate clinicians working in implantology and oral surgery, endodontics, orthodontics, restorative dentistry and general dental care.
The clinic is located in Merksem, in the northern part of Antwerp, and uses digital diagnostics and treatment planning across several areas of dentistry. For patients considering more extensive treatment, the useful question is therefore not simply which procedures VIDENT offers, but who would manage each part of the case and how the treatment would be planned.
Dr Viktor Petrov and complex implant treatment
Dr Viktor Petrov leads VIDENT’s implantology and oral surgery work.
His professional profile states 12 years of experience and postgraduate MSc qualifications in both implantology and oral surgery. His additional training includes implantology, bone augmentation and periodontal surgery.
His clinical work covers considerably more than placing a straightforward implant.
Dr Petrov’s stated areas of expertise include full-mouth rehabilitation with implants, bone augmentation, soft-tissue regeneration, treatment of gingival recession, autogenous bone grafting, crowns and bridges, digital dentistry and smile design.
This background becomes relevant when tooth replacement involves bone loss or several missing teeth. A patient who needs one uncomplicated implant has different planning requirements from someone who needs multiple implants, grafting and a final fixed restoration.
VIDENT uses Nobel Biocare and MIS implant systems in its implant work.
How implant treatment is planned at VIDENT
The clinic describes a structured digital pathway for dental implants rather than treating implant placement as an isolated procedure.
The assessment can include a clinical examination and 3D CBCT imaging. The dentist uses this information to evaluate available bone, nearby anatomical structures, bite forces and the condition of surrounding teeth and gums.
Digital planning then helps determine implant position, angle and depth. It can also identify whether bone grafting or another preparatory procedure may be necessary.
Patients receive a written treatment plan, expected treatment stages, a timeline and cost information before treatment begins.
For international patients, that planning has a practical benefit. It helps clarify whether treatment may fit into one visit or whether healing will create a gap between surgery and the final restoration.
VIDENT states that implant healing commonly takes approximately 8 to 12 weeks, although individual healing times vary.
A temporary tooth or bridge may sometimes be fitted on the day of implant surgery. The dentist can only decide this after assessing implant stability, bite and other clinical factors.
Digital dentistry is used for more than implants
VIDENT’s technology is relevant across several types of treatment.
The clinic uses intraoral scanning, CBCT imaging and digital treatment planning. Digital Smile Design can help patients understand proposed aesthetic changes before restorative treatment starts.
For root canal treatment, the clinic uses microscope-assisted endodontics.
This distinction matters when choosing a dentist in Antwerp for a tooth that another dentist has suggested extracting. Endodontic assessment may sometimes determine whether treatment can preserve the natural tooth instead.
Dr Byron Lozano works in endodontics and aesthetic and functional rehabilitation. The clinic’s wider team also includes dentists working in general and conservative dentistry.
The benefit of this arrangement is not that every patient needs several specialists. It is that a more complicated case can involve different clinicians when the problem crosses several areas of dentistry.
An unusual option: tooth autotransplantation
One treatment makes VIDENT particularly different from a standard general dental practice.
Dr Petrov performs tooth autotransplantation in selected cases.
Instead of replacing a missing or non-restorable tooth with an artificial implant, autotransplantation moves one of the patient’s own suitable teeth into another position. A wisdom tooth or premolar may sometimes serve as the donor tooth.
Not everyone qualifies for this procedure.
VIDENT evaluates the donor tooth and recipient area with CBCT imaging and intraoral scanning. The clinic also describes the use of digital compatibility assessment, 3D planning and printed replicas or surgical guides as part of its workflow.
This option can be especially worth discussing when a patient has a suitable natural donor tooth and wants to know whether an alternative to an implant exists.
The clinical assessment must determine whether transplantation or conventional implant treatment makes more sense for the individual case.
Veneers, crowns and larger smile rehabilitation
VIDENT also provides porcelain veneers, crowns, bridges and Digital Smile Design.
For patients considering extensive aesthetic work, this should not start with choosing the number of veneers or crowns from photographs alone.
The dentist first needs to examine tooth structure, existing restorations, bite and gum health. A patient with healthy but aesthetically uneven teeth may need a very different approach from someone whose teeth already contain large fillings, crowns or structural damage.
Digital Smile Design can help visualise the intended proportions before treatment.
This is particularly useful when changes involve several visible teeth because the dentist can assess the smile as a whole rather than planning each restoration independently.
The existing VIDENT clinical gallery includes examples of veneers, smile design, orthodontic treatment and larger smile rehabilitation.
What the VIDENT Google reviews show
VIDENT displays a 4.5 out of 5 Google rating based on 220 reviews.
Reviews never replace clinical information, but they can add another perspective when you are choosing a clinic from abroad.
For more complex care, pay attention to reviews that discuss the same type of treatment you need. A review about an implant, root canal or crown can tell you more about that particular patient experience than a general star rating alone.
Treatment results will still depend on the starting condition, diagnosis and individual treatment plan.
VIDENT is in Merksem, Antwerp
VIDENT Dental Clinic is located at Maantjessteenweg 160, 2170 Antwerp, in Merksem.
The clinic opens Monday to Friday from 09:00 to 18:00 and also offers Saturday opening from 10:00 to 17:00.
Public transport can be practical for patients staying elsewhere in Antwerp. Tram lines 2 and 3 serve the Merksem Burgemeester Nolf stop, while bus 640 stops at Merksem Overhout. The clinic is then reached on foot.
Patients travelling specifically for several dental appointments should consider the Merksem location when choosing accommodation rather than assuming that every Antwerp dental practice is in the historic city centre.
Language and communication before treatment
VIDENT provides patient information in Dutch, English, French and Bulgarian.
That does not automatically mean that every dentist works in every language. If you need treatment in English or another specific language, it is sensible to confirm which clinician will communicate with you before arranging the appointment.
This becomes particularly important for surgery or complex rehabilitation, where you need to understand treatment alternatives, healing stages and the final restorative plan clearly.
When this dentist in Antwerp may be particularly relevant
VIDENT has an unusually broad clinical profile, but its strongest distinction is the combination of specialist-led treatment and digital planning.
Patients with straightforward general dental needs can receive routine care here. However, the clinic may be particularly relevant when the case involves:
- one or several dental implants
- significant bone loss before implant treatment
- full-mouth implant rehabilitation
- crowns or bridges combined with implants
- root canal treatment requiring microscopic endodontics
- complex restorative or aesthetic treatment
- consideration of tooth autotransplantation
- treatment that may require more than one dental discipline
Knowing the problem is more important than knowing the procedure name.
If another dentist has already given you an X-ray, CBCT scan or treatment plan, these records can provide useful background when requesting an assessment.
Arranging treatment with VIDENT through NewHolidays
If you are considering a dentist in Antwerp and think VIDENT may suit your case, send NewHolidays a description of the problem rather than only the treatment you believe you need.
For example, tell us which teeth are missing, whether you have an existing implant or bridge, whether another dentist has recommended extraction, or whether you are considering a larger smile reconstruction.
You can include dental photographs, panoramic X-rays, CBCT scans or an existing treatment plan if you already have them.
NewHolidays can help organise the initial enquiry and clarify which area of the VIDENT team is most relevant to the case. We can also help establish the likely appointment sequence before you make travel arrangements.
The treating dentist will confirm the diagnosis and final treatment plan after the necessary clinical assessment.
