Meet the Speakers

David Norré

David Norré graduated in dentistry from K.U.Leuven in 2001, followed by a MaNaMa in restorative dentistry at the same university under the supervision of Prof. I. Naert (2001-2005). His interest in implantology led him to ULg Liège, where he completed a 2-year training in oral implantology under Prof. Eric Rompen (2006-2008). After graduation, he did a fellowship in implant and periodontal surgery with Eric Van Dooren in Antwerp, Belgium.

Since 2007, he has been a teacher at the University of Leuven (Institute for Osseointegration) and gives numerous lectures about oral implantology and abutment design. He also conducted research at the Department of Periodontology at K.U.Leuven (2013-2020) and is Visiting Faculty at Tufts School of Dental Medicine in Boston, USA.

Alex Fneiche

Alex Fneiche holds a Master degree in Dental Sciences from ULB, as well as several specialized certifications and diplomas such as the Certificate of Advanced Studies and Researchin Oral Implantology and Biomaterials from SFBSI, the University Diploma in Oral Implantology from the University of Troyes, the University Certificate in Prosthetic and Aesthetic Rehabilitation from ULB, and the University Diploma in Surgical and Prosthetic Implantology from UEMC. He passionately leads two dental clinics, one in Brussels and one in Courcelles in Belgium. His diversified expertise and in-depth knowledge in these fields allows him to provide innovative and personalized solutions to his patients
