Try not to defraud the 20-year-old André

We’ve reached the end of a cycle. The second floor of our clinic wasn’t just a space — it was an incredible educational experience. It hosted the ITI, the ESCI, the Master Beginners, the digital tools, the ceramic implants. We delivered high-end education to hundreds of dentists, and above all… we had a lot of fun! And I’m not even talking about the crazy parties we threw — that’s a whole other chapter.

After five gorgeous years, the time has finally come to move on to a more ambitious part of the project.

Moving forward

20-year-old André set a goal to be the best. And to be the best involves being with the best team, because alone… you’ll only reach as far as your ego takes you. Go alone and you reach faster — but go with a team, and you reach higher.

In his talk “You Don’t Actually Know What Your Future Self Wants,” journalist and science writer Shankar Vedantam explains:

“You are constantly becoming a new person.”

Our minds evolve through relationships, challenges, and reflection over time. These layers don’t just shape us — they transform us.

the mind gains new layers that will eventually transform you.

46-year-old André is much different from 20-year-old André. So it would be very easy for me to just say: “I’ll stay here in my corner. I have enough to be happy. Let’s close the second floor and just stick with the first. Who cares? I’ll still make enough money to enjoy life…”

But if I did that, I’d be completely shutting down the dreams of 20-year-old André. I’d be a fraud — a traitor to my younger self.

20-year-old André would immediately say that all the hard and difficult paths that led to this decision to expand and create opportunity deserve a decision to go to another level.

That was the dream.

46-year-old André — as I call myself in July 2025 — has to ask: “What can I do to fulfill the dream of 20-year-old André?”

Go forward.

You have to dig into the mental layers that years of experience and emotion have carved, and find your soul — the driving force that gave you the courage to create a chance to decide where to go.

And so we did.

We go with the ones that truly form our team.

Like Muhammad Ali said: “When someone says it’s impossible, go there and do it twice.”

Don’t worry, André.

You can trust me — I won’t let your dream die.

All in, to have a shot at the title.

Not alone — but with people who also believe that it’s possible.

People who are mentally ready to perform at a higher level.

Strong-minded individuals you can’t bend or break easily.

The ones who can climb the mountain with you — and take you to the summit, twice.

So in September 2025, we give rise to a whole new digital center — a clinic dedicated to high-end treatments, powered by the best professionals, and a brand-new education facility built to meet the demands of the next generation of dental innovators.

Stay tuned. The next chapter is about to begin.
