What sets Van Hoof Dental apart from the other dentists in the Appleton area? This was the question I asked myself when determining the mission and core values of our dental practice. Van Hoof Dental was founded to provide excellent dental care in the Fox Valley and surrounding area where patients are treated as part of our family. We take pride in building lasting relationships by listening to your needs and desires to deliver the very best dental care and service you deserve. I believe all of our patients deserve to feel valued and cared for and that is what you will experience at our practice.
I am a native of Appleton, WI and am excited to be back in the Fox Valley. Since establishing Van Hoof Dental I have been participating in many continuing education courses from some of the most respected names in the dental community. Continued education ensures that I am providing the most up to date and exceptional dental treatment available. It has also aided with expanding our scope of practice so you and your family can get your much needed care under one roof. Recently, I have been given the opportunity to mentor other dentists in the area of dental implants through the prosthetic and surgical curriculum at Restorative Driven Implants which has been very rewarding.
Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my wife Whitney, our son Kade, and dog Scout. We enjoy all outdoor activities especially long walks and hikes. We always are looking forward to the next adventure. In the summertime you can find us spending time up north at the cottage or out exploring the Appleton area.
I look forward to the opportunity to be your dentist and cannot wait to meet you!
