Our philosophy behind our treatment protocols

# One Rated Dentists In Cape Town For Teeth Whitening, Dsd, Invisalign Clear Active Aligner Braces, Composite Veneers, Bonding, Smile Makeovers And Giving You A Great Confident Smile. 5

Our entire philosophy aims to achieve the best oral health, functionality, and dental aesthetics.

We understand that facial, dental, and oral problems must be evaluated, understood, and managed to achieve facial and individual beauty.

Therefore, the challenge of combining the triad of phonetics, function and aesthetics has always been the primary therapeutic goal of leading dentists in Cape Town.

Smile makeovers require a healthy start.

Digital Smile Design can only be used when the teeth and gums are healthy and in the correct position.

How did OptiSmile Cosmetic Dentistry start in Cape Town?

I returned to the City of Cape Town, South Africa, after 32 years abroad in London, San Diego, and Perth. My late father, a dentist, inspired me to build this ultramodern dentistry facility spread over 500 square meters.

 

My inspiration for returning to South Africa was threefold.

  • My high school sweetheart Robyn Zinman lived here in Sea Point, and after 37 years apart, we were reunited on Facebook. So, I returned to the beautiful Western Cape and the African continent to be with her again.
  • My dad and mentor, Dr Louis Yudelman, was a well-renowned dentist in Johannesburg and practised dentistry to the highest standard for 57 years. He inspired me to make OptiSmile the centre for cosmetic dentistry and smile makeovers in Sea Point.
  • Cape Town, the Indian and Atlantic oceans, Chapman’s Peak cycling route, the Cape Winelands, Sea Point Promenade, Nelson Mandela’s children, and Africa’s rainbow nation were

What about all your Google reviews?

With our passion for dentistry and people, we have connected a unique team of highly qualified specialists and dentists under one roof. We are working together to achieve the best treatment for every patient. This shows in our reviews on Google if you search for “best dentist Cape Town.”

Our practice is unique, and our reviews on Google have more reviews than any other practice.

It’s not about the number of reviews. Instead, please read the last five or ten Google reviews and see what people have said about achieving their best-optimised smile.

I trust this will help you make up your mind. So, call email or WhatsApp today for an appointment. 

What Clients Are Saying About OptiSmile

Couldn't be happier! Incredible service from start to finish with the entire team and Dr Harris & Clifford. Communicating via whatsapp and having friendly reception staff made the overall journey so much easier and enjoyable. Harris is THE guy to do invisilign with in South Africa and I can see why. 10/10 for results! Really enjoyed his personal and friendly approach ...he may even have convinced... me that I like going to the dentist now. To finish my dental journey, I had injection bonding with Dr Clifford who was just as amazing. Will definitely only be going to Optismile for all future dental procedures. Big thanks to everyoneread more

This is the most wonderful practice. I needed a lot of work done to my teeth and although I have a fear of dentists, I felt very relaxed and comfortable. I never had to wait, and the service was extremely efficient. I am very happy with the results.

Great service! I was on a cruise and chipped a tooth while at sea. I wanted to find a dentist at our next port in South Africa. I searched online and found OptiSmile. I was able to book an appointment online. The office was professional and the dentist fixed my tooth so that I could enjoy the rest of my cruise without worry. I highly recommend this practice.

Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. I had been to many dentists all over the world to fix my teeth but all said it would take an average of two years. My entire treatment was complete within 4 months and I couldn’t be happier with the results. My teeth are perfect now and I cannot stop smiling. The staff and doctors were incredibly supportive and friendly and were always... available to answer any questions. This is by far the best experience I’ve ever had at any dentist and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants the best!read more

I couldn't recommend this practice more. I got injection molding, fillings and general teeth whitening done. They only use the best equipment, I felt super safe and comfortable every consultation/treatment. The offices/rooms are beautifully designed, far better than any other practice I've been to.Kinan (dentist), Olwethu (assistant) and all the other assistants involved in my treatment have... been amazing. Super friendly, more than willing to explain their processes & help you pick the best treatment plan, and clearly care about their patients. Clear professionals, they're so good at what they do.I will say it's quite expensive but if you're able to pay for it, it is worth every cent!read more

I couldn’t have asked for more caring, kind and compassionate people to help me with my complicated case. I had a car accident many years ago and had prior work done by another practice which I started to experience severe problems with. I was so anxious to have them fixed but I’m so glad I came here and went ahead. They were incredible at taking care of my case and went above and beyond to make... me feel comfortable. Dr Clifford & his wife even came in on the weekend to help me when I was experiencing pain as well as dropped off painkillers and a care package when I was too weak to leave my house. I had to come in for an appointment on my birthday and the whole practice sang happy birthday to me. Thank you Optismile. I am very grateful for your professionalism, your thoughtfulness and for giving me my smile back! I will recommend you to everyone I know.read more

I expected professionalism at OptiSmile, of course. What really pleased me was the caring attitude and approach to patients. In addition, the office was gleaming, clean with all the latest technology to take the experience truly to the next level. Most of all, though, is my appreciation for Dr. Shaa. He was totally with me in guiding and helping me to understand the procedure and his... technique. I would highly recommend Dr. Shaa and OptiSmile. 5 stars +++.read more

Easy booking system. Instead of sitting in the waiting room filing in forms, I could do it online and save time. Was greeted and welcomed with a great smile and service by Widaad & I walked away with a whiter brighter smile given to me by Dr. Kinan and Olwethu, explaining the procedure step by step.

I've been to see Dr Yudelman for 2 Cerec restorations. I couldn't recommend him more highly. The practice is really professionally run and organised. Both procedures were completely, and I mean completely, pain free. I'd go as far as to say I actually enjoyed the experience.I’ve since been back for a third cerec restoration: Dr Clifford again did a flawless job. And once more, completely... painless.read more

Wow where do I begin ! I walked into OptiSmile looking for a second opinion on a fractured tooth that had been giving me trouble after a nasty fall I took 2 weeks prior. Tooth was in excruciating pain I could not chew or apply any kind of pressure on it. My previous dentist could not identify the fracture and suggested the tooth was bruised from almost being avulsed and needed time to heal. I... felt there was something wrong so I did a google search to see where else I could go. I came across OptiSmile and made my appointment. From the moment I walked in I was greeted with warmth and welcomed by the most beautiful environment - did not feel like a dentist at all. With state of the art equipment my dentist Dr. Louis identified the fracture in no time and concluded the tooth needed to be extracted - my worst nightmare !The period between my consultation and extraction procedure I had developed a stubborn infection but Dr. Louis and the staff were available to assist me immediately without hesitation or delay. The day of the extraction came and it was a complicated procedure because the tooth had fractured into three pieces, but I felt absolutely no pain or discomfort. The entire process, from the empathy to professionalism exceeded my expectations. I am so glad I made the choice to go here and this will now be my new dentist for life ! Thanks Dr. Louis and OptiSmile team!!!read more

I had an amazing experience with Dr Shaa! Highly recommend him for any cosmetic dentistry. I came for bonding and he was really patient with me — he gave me as much time as needed to decide on the shape of tooth and allowed me to come back anytime if I wanted to make some finishing touches. Overall a great experience at Optismile, will come back for sure.

It's an amazing experience to be seen by Dr. Louis Trichaardt and his helper.Have always been uneasy to go to the dentist but was put at ease immediately. He explained everything to my husband and myself and after taking the various pictures of my mouth and the problem that I had come for was given the various options.Was received very warmly by reception and... when it was time for my appointment was taken for a tour of the premises.Have never seen such modern equipment and beautiful view.Can only highly recommend this place and Dr Louis.read more
