Tandarts Today

What Tandarts Today does

Tandarts Today Services B.V. is a privately held Dutch dental practice chain headquartered in Veldhoven, Netherlands, operating 30+ dental practices across at least eight Dutch provinces including Friesland, Drenthe, Overijssel, Gelderland, Noord-Brabant, Flevoland, Zuid-Holland, and Noord-Holland. Founded in 2014 by Ruben Hoefnagels, the company has grown from a single practice in Bakel to a multi-province network through a disciplined acquisition strategy that purchases independent practices from retiring dental practitioners and integrates them under a "warm handover" (warm overdragen) model that preserves local practice identity and brand names while providing centralized administrative, HR, purchasing, and digital infrastructure support. Services span general dentistry, orthodontics (including AirSmile invisible braces), implantology, oral/maxillofacial surgery, preventive care, dental hygiene, and dental prosthetics.

The technology platform is built around Exquise practice management software deployed across all locations for scheduling, patient records, and practice administration, supplemented by broader digitalization investments across administration, patient care, communication, and dental technology. A centralized service team and dental laboratory operate from the 2021-established Veldhoven headquarters at De Run 4352. The 51-100 employee service team supports operations across the network.

The business model is acquisition-led and sales-driven: revenue is generated through fee-for-service dental care billed under the standard Dutch healthcare system, with services delivered directly to patients at physical practice locations. The go-to-market targets two distinct B2B audiences — retiring practice owners seeking succession solutions and practicing dentists seeking partnership without administrative burden — alongside B2C patient acquisition through local reputation and a primary website (tandartstoday.nl) plus a dedicated recruitment site. Gilde Healthcare, a specialized healthcare investor, acquired a 60% controlling stake in May 2021 to fund expansion from 11 to a target of 60 practice locations. Leadership transitioned in July 2026, with Willem Snieders succeeding founder Ruben Hoefnagels as General Director and Jesse Witlox joining as Finance Director.
