About this branch
The Helderberg’s neighbourhood dentist, right next to Somerset Mall.
Family Dental Care Somerset West opened its doors on 3 March 2021 as the group’s ninth practice, right inside the Habitat Centre at the corner of the N2 and R44, directly alongside Somerset Mall. Two minutes off the highway, five minutes from central Somerset West, and easy to reach from Strand, Gordon’s Bay, Stellenbosch, and the wider Helderberg.
Led by Dr. Farzanah Paruk and supported by Dr. Stoffels, our team has built a reputation for gentle, patient-centred care, the kind that turns nervous first-timers into loyal patients. We offer general and cosmetic dentistry, Invisalign clear aligners (we’re an official Invisalign Provider), teeth whitening, and paediatric care. We’re a Designated Service Provider for Discovery Key Care and GEMS, and contracted to most other medical aids, with claims processed on the spot at reception.

As someone who is a rather nervous dental patient, visiting the dentist is not exactly at the top of my list of favourite things! But from the moment I walked through the door, I felt completely at ease.
A very special thank you to Dr. Stoffels for being so calm, caring and incredibly supportive. Her gentle manner and patience made such a difference and turned what I had been dreading into a surprisingly comfortable experience. I truly appreciated being treated with such kindness and understanding.
And a big thank you to the lovely ladies at the front desk too! They were so welcoming, friendly and kind, which immediately made me feel like I was in good hands.
Five stars, without a doubt, for the whole team! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Professional, caring, welcoming and genuinely lovely people. Thank you for making a nervous patient feel so comfortable — I’m almost looking forward to my next visit… almost! 😊
She made the whole experience feel easy and comfortable, taking the time to explain everything and ensuring I was at ease. Her professionalism and caring approach truly stood out. I can highly recommend Dr. Stoffels to anyone, especially those who feel anxious about visiting the dentist. Thank you for making such a positive difference in my dental care experience! 😊
Dr. Stoffel has the kindest, most reassuring presence and took the time to make sure I was comfortable every step of the way. She and her assistant work together so gently and seamlessly, it truly puts you at ease.
