ABOUT US

Dr. Wynand v.d. Merwe

DENTIST

Wynand, once determined to follow in his father’s footsteps to become a farmer, soon realised a new dream and chose the Joburg skyline instead of the wide open spaces of his childhood. His interest in dentistry, sparked by his own experience as a teenager having orthodontics, soon became his passion. Never shy to acknowledge true beauty or a tasteful design, his fine eye combined with painful perfection has created some gorgeous smiles.

Wynand obtained his Bachelor of Dentistry from the University of Pretoria and continued expanding his knowledge by completing a diploma in Aesthetic Dentistry during his Community service year. He joined a Cosmetic practice in Gauteng through which he was introduced to modern digital dentistry. Soon realising the role of technology in the modern dental practice he further qualified himself as an internationally certified Cerec trainer, teaching other dentists the art of CAD/CAM Dentistry. Progression through implementing new techniques and technologies is the standard at which he operates.

An avid cyclist, down time is spent outdoors on his mountain bike and ever so often enjoying the speed of a race car on the track. Other interests include good wine, 4×4 and photography.

He is passionate about his work, dedicated to always deliver his best and therefore, one of the best in the industry.
