1 on 1 Talk with Germen Versteeg

Via a roundabout route, Germen eventually ended up in a plaster room belonging to a friend’s father. No, not because he had broken anything, but to lay the foundation of what he is doing now. Germen shares his vision of the influence of digitization in oral care.

Digitization is now only a small part of the workflow in this sector. While the possibilities in both the short and long term are unprecedented. With his company, Denticien, Germen took his inspiration from the emergence of opticians, and his wife. As a result, he started looking differently at the way in which dental prostheses are made. He therefore works completely digitally and talks about the great benefits that this entails.

Discover how Germen is working with Canadian colleagues on a concept in which ready-to-use prostheses come out of a printer. Or is that going too far? He has a clear answer to that too. Namely, we are going to remove a lot of barriers for people who haven’t been to the dentist for years. It will even become a fashion item.

Germen shares the most important factors that will ensure that 95% will work fully digitally in 5 years’ time and how his concept can contribute to this.

His own steady pace has led him from playing Uyghur music with the daf, a traditional frame drum, to picking the right time to set up his own academy. For Irfan, following your personal rhythm is key for long-term development, and inspiring audiences along the way.
