Our story

The story behind the practice

Tandarts West is more than just a regular dental practice; it is a place where craftsmanship and a homely atmosphere come together in the heart of Rotterdam. The practice was founded in 2013 by dentist Semra Genc, after her studies at ACTA in Amsterdam and various specialisations, including a three-year Master in Orthodontics.

What began with just two treatment rooms quickly outgrew its space thanks to word-of-mouth recommendations from satisfied patients. What truly sets us apart? We have deliberately left the clinical, white environment behind. Our practice is decorated in a warm and homely style, so a visit to the dentist no longer feels "medical" but more like a familiar appointment.
