DR SEUGNET ZIETSMAN:  BIO

Dr Seugnet Zietsman completed her Bachelor of Dental Surgery at the University of the Western Cape in 2020.  Her passion for orthodontics led her to pursue a Postgraduate Diploma in Interceptive Orthodontics, and she is currently enrolled for an MSc in Orthodontics, commencing 2025. 

Her dedication to excellence was recognized when she was awarded a Merit Certificate with distinctions in Practice Management, Oral Medicine & Periodontology and Advanced Restorative Dentistry during her undergraduate training. In addition to her extensive academic background, Seugnet spent the last two years honing her skills at a highly successful orthodontic practice in Johannesburg under the mentorship of the esteemed Orthodontist, Dr André Hugo.  Working under his guidance, Seugnet developed a deep understanding of both traditional braces and modern aligner systems, which she leverages to develop customised treatment plans that meet the unique needs of her patients. 

Dr Seugnet ensures that she stays at the forefront of modern orthodontic treatment through her unwavering commitment to continuous learning.  She actively participates in courses and conferences, which include: ‘Clear aligners Mastery: Unlocking new Techniques for Creating Incredible Smiles’, and ‘Aligner Therapy Masterclass’ by Dr André El Zogbi; ‘Transforming Smiles: Achieving Brilliance with PSL Brackets’ by Dr Trevor Nicols; and Invisalign Masterclass: The Future of Dentristry is Digital - Shift your practice into the digital future.’ 

She also received accreditation in Active Aligners and ‘Common Sense Orthodontics for Clear Aligners Treatment’ which was approved by The South African Dental Therapy Association. 

Dr Seugnet lives by the motto ‘Respice Prospice’, a reflection of her alma mater’s philosophy - to take valuable lessons from the  past and build a brighter future.  Outside of the clinic, Seugnet enjoys music, cooking and hiking, making the most of her weekends with activities that balance her professional and personal life.

We look forward to building strong collaborations with local dentists to ensure that patients receive seamless and comprehensive orthodontic care.   

Here’s to a successful partnership and many positive outcomes ahead!
