Born on the 3rd of March 1961, Winifred grew up in the town Nylstroom
in the Limpopo Province, South Africa. She matriculated in 1978 from
the Nylstroom High School with distinctions in all her subjects; was
appointed "best student of the year" as well as "public speaker of
the year". She was also awarded a special acknowledgement for service
rendered to the community.
She went to the University of Pretoria where she graduated in 1985
(Bachelor of Science in Dentistry). She started her own practice in
Valhalla, Pretoria, in November 1985 where she worked until October
2003 when wanderlust overcome her and her family and they moved to
the UK to be closer to the action! Since November 2003 she has been
working as an associate dentist in the practice of Francois Rossouw
in Shenfield, Brentwood, Essex. She and Dr Charl Chapman have bought
this practice in December 2006 and are now principals of the multi-
surgery practice, Enhance Dental Clinic.
Dentistry in all its facets is her work, hobby and passion. She developed an increasing interest in cosmetic dentistry in all its different aspects - implants, "make-overs", orthodontics and CAD-CAM technology. She is a certified CEREC trainer through the ISCD (International Society of Computerized Dentistry), and has been invited to serve on the committee of the British Society of Computerised Dentistry (BSCD). She started with the surgical aspect of implants in 1999, with training under Prof Norman Shepherd in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. She completed a year's implant course with Prof Ashok Sethi in 2006-2007. She has successfully completed her diploma in Implant Dentistry at the Royal College of surgeons of England. She is a representative of the diploma participant's on the staff/participants committee. She is currently busy completing her post graduate certificate course for Dental Sedation and Pain Management. Her final dissertation is due in May 2010.
She is married to Tertius, who has been an integral part of her
practice in South Africa. Here in the UK he initially has been
employed by Francois Rossouw & ass as dental technician/
photographer/ IT and equipment maintenance (there is nothing that he
cannot fix!), and is now full time practice manager of Enhance Dental
Clinic.
As a professional photographer his services are indispensable for the
kind of dentistry that she practices. Over the years he has gained a
lot of knowledge about dentistry, and has been a great source of
support and encouragement.
They have three children: Nic (19), Mimi (17), and Tersia (13).
As a family they are active in their local church (The South African
Church). They enjoy exploring their new country and Europe.
If there is time left, Winifred does creative sewing, and also plays
piano and pipe organ, and potter around in her garden.
