Biography
Hennie qualified in 1996 as a dentist from the University of Stellenbosch in his native South Africa. After qualifying he worked for five years in Essex, at a very busy NHS practice where he gained invaluable experience in dealing with all kinds of dental problems and emergencies. In 2002 Hennie decided it was time to start out on his own. He built up a practice in Witham which quickly developed an excellent reputation within the area. In 2003 Hennie completed a certificate course in dental implants in Harley Street and has been successfully placing and restoring implants ever since. Hennie completed several postgraduate Master courses in Bern, Switzerland under Professor Daniel Buser's supervision. He also finished a year course with Peter Saunders in Southampton in 2015 where he updated his skills. After moving to Dorset and working at Upton Dental Surgery for five years, the previous owner of the practice offered Hennie the option to buy the practice. This led to him becoming the proud owner of Upton Dental in 2014. Since then, he has invested heavily in his team and the latest technology which include CBCT(3D) scanners, intraoral scanners and a CEREC crown milling unit. These types of equipment make our treatment outcomes more precise, predictable and a lot more comfortable for our patients. Hennie is only seeing patients who need implants or related treatment and is only focussing on this field of dentistry to make sure he can give his full attention to every individual patient. Hennie has built up the trust of local dentists and is now their preferred dentist to refer their implant patients to. He is a keen swimmer and plays golf (only when the weather is like in South Africa). Gardening is also one of his many interests.
