"I had a number of Dental Implants done at Upton Dental practise and from the moment I arrived to the moment I left I felt safe, comforted, well informed and proffesionally cared for! I over the years i have been to many dentists but this one exceeds anywhere I have been before! Would thoroughly reccomend!!"
Lucy Smith
"As someone that has a crippling phobia of the dentist, I cannot recommend Victoria at Upton Dental enough. She is so kind, patient and understanding. She takes the time to explain everything to put you at ease which makes the whole experience much less stressful. I’ve even managed to over come my fear enough to have a wisdom tooth extracted with her and I think that is completely down to how safe I feel in Victoria’s hands. Thank you Victoria!"
Kerry Anderton
"I have been a nervous patient since a very painful filling at the age of 19 (I'm nearly 55 now!). However, since coming to this practice I would say that level of fear has diminished to the point where I probably only find it as unpleasant as a "normal" person. The people are all very pleasant and professional and I feel that my teeth are in good hands. I am very pleased with how clean my teeth both look and feel after my recent hygienist appointment."
Teresa Johnson
"Absolutely first class staff and treatment. My early experiences of previous dentists all my life made me nervous and reluctant to go, but Hennie and his team are so kind and gentle there is no need for such worries."

Hennie Van Der Merwe
PRINCIPAL DENTIST
BCHD STELL 1996 (STELLENBOSCH)
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.
