About Us

Dr Etienne Potgieter qualified at the university in Pretoria, South Africa, in 1984 and worked in Pretoria until he moved to London in 1989 for 15 years. He had a cosmetic implant practice in Putney, SW London before returning to the Strand in South Africa in 2004. A work offer and hundreds of patients’ pleading made him and his family return to Putney to open up a new dental practice again here in Putney.

He returned to London during August 2008, and after working in Purley, opened the Gentle Dental Putney practice which started booking private patients on 14th September 2009.
