Meet the educators
Dr Johan Weemaes is the co-owner and principal clinician at Avenue Dental Maroochydore, with a clinical focus in advanced implantology, surgical procedures, and aesthetic dentistry. His practice philosophy emphasises precision-driven, evidence-based treatment, with special interests in full-arch rehabilitation, transcrestal and lateral sinus augmentation, and soft and hard tissue management around implants.
In addition to clinical practice, Johan is committed to peer education and mentorship, regularly delivering lectures and hands-on training workshops for general dentists seeking to expand their skills in implantology, sinus augmentation (crestal and lateral), "all-on-X" concepts, full-mouth rehabilitations, and complex soft tissue handling. He also mentors recent graduates through the Australian Dental Graduate of the Year residency program, focusing on guiding young clinicians through the transition into surgical and restorative private practice.
Johan’s teaching is informed by his real-world experience performing high volumes of implant surgeries, including immediate placement and loading protocols, graftless solutions, and staged bone reconstruction. His surgical protocols reflect a balance of contemporary digital planning with a strong foundation in biological principles.
When not practicing or teaching, Johan maintains an active lifestyle on the Sunshine Coast with his wife and three children.
