Dr Andre Brand is a registered Dental Practitioner with a Special Interest in the field of Endodontics.

​

Endodontics (also known as Root Canal Treatment (RCT)) is the field of Dentistry that deals with the 'Inside' of the tooth, the dental pulp and the surrounding tissues. Following advanced training, the goal of Endodontics is to SAVE TEETH, using highly specialized equipment, techniques and, most importantly, patience!

​

Born and raised in Pretoria, Dr Andre Brand qualified with a BChD degree at the University of Pretoria in 1996. Andre’s career started in Pretoria in a general dental practice. This posting was followed by working with a Specialist Prosthodontist in Bryanston, Johannesburg. Here he was exposed to constant mentoring and learning. During this time, he completed a Post Graduate Diploma in Oral Surgery at the University of Pretoria. In addition, he worked part-time in a teaching capacity in the same department.

​

After 3 years, Andre and his wife moved to the UK. He initially worked as the Senior Dentist for the Milton Keynes branch of Boots Dental Care. He later had his private practice in Windsor. His fields of interest developed into Dental Implantology, covering all aspects of this, Computerized Dentistry with an emphasis on Smile make-overs and Endodontics. While in the UK, Andre also completed a Post Graduate Diploma in Dental Implantology with the University of the Western Cape.

​

Returning to South Africa after 9 years abroad, Andre and his family settled in Somerset West, Western Cape. Here he became involved at a private practice, focusing on Implant Treatments, Cosmetic and Digital Dentistry, and Endodontics. Following the purchase of a Dental Microscope, Andre became passionate about using this in all aspects of Dentistry and especially in the field of Endodontics. Realizing the need for Microscope-enhanced Endodontic treatments, he started to focus on this, subsequently completing a Post Graduate Diploma in Endodontics at the University of Pretoria.
