FAQ

Good questions, honest answers.

Do you accept medical aid?+

I'm nervous about the dentist — can you help?+

Absolutely. A large part of what we do is caring for anxious patients. We take extra time to explain everything, move at your pace and never rush a visit. Many of our most nervous patients now bring their whole family.

Do you see children?+

Yes — from their very first tooth. Our team is trained to make paediatric visits playful, calm and fun, building healthy dental habits from an early age.
