On returning to South Africa in 2000, she studied Oral Hygiene at the University of Pretoria. Her work ethic and positive attitude allowed her to be selected at the Medical University of South Africa to further her studies in Dentistry.
Charmaine is a hardworking, perfectionist that is passionate about cosmetic and paediatric dentistry. She also developed a great interest in Facial Aesthetics and completed her Botox and Dermal Filler course in 2014.
She strongly believes that kids' first impressions of a dentist will have a lifelong impact. Making this a positive experience will go a long way.
She loves spending time with her husband and 3 daughters, and, if possible, mountain biking, running, camping and hiking in the great outdoors.
