I met Dr Clifford with the dream of having a beautiful smile that I wouldn't be ashamed anymore, as well as fixing few issues. Very quickly, within the first appointment, he had my trust. Despite being scared of not looking like me anymore, he and his team made sure that I was looked after during the few weeks leading to the big day. Now, after working on more than 8 teeth, doing the bonding, I have so happy and can't stop smiling!!! He gave me back my confidence and I also feel more confident that the issues I had, are now dealt with. All without damaging or removing any of my teeth. I am very grateful and can't recommend them all enough!!!!!

I have never been more impressed with a dental practice in my life. Melanie, the hygienist was patient and kind, and even gave a massage to my jaw at the end!!

For the first time in my life I have a smile to be proud of!Working with OptiSmile over the past 7 months has been nothing short of incredible. The entire team is warm, welcoming and they take the time to make sure the plan they create is suited to your goals. In just 7 months I have gone from having chipped, yellow and misaligned teeth to a clean white smile!A special thank you to both Dr Harris and Dr Cara. Dr Harris was responsible for getting my teeth into the correct positions and Dr Cara is an artist for what she has done to create my smile! I will be eternally grateful to both, and the entire team for what they have achieved.If you are looking for a highly skilled and passionate team to help you get the smile you've always wanted, OptiSmile is the way to go.

Dr. Clifford and his extended team are true masters. They lead an exceptional state of the art practice with passion and utmost dedication to their clients. I have had some extensive work done by Dr. Clifford, where he did a collaboration with my dentist from the United States, he went above and beyond to repair a very tricky situation and I could not be happier. There is no other dental practice that I would recommend with such confidence. Thank you to Dr. Clifford and everyone at Optismile for your impeccable care.

I have walked a long journey with Dr Cara and she has been a rockstar: kind, patient, understanding and accommodating of someone who has dental anxiety and just so thoughtful in her interactions with me and working through identifying the need for a root canal and finalising it all with an inlay/crown.I appreciate your patience Dr Cara, and the super high tech equipment you used to get me my night guard ASAP and diagnosing my TMD and sending me to a specialist physio (instead of pulling out my tooth like I was insisting on 😂) and getting me to smile at the end of a dental appointment - not my usual vibe believe me. Thanks to everyone at @optismile I’ll see you guys in 6 months for a check up ❤️ love, @sammikoalareads

Dr Keira is one of the best dentist I have ever had. I came in July with my partner and we had the best treatment. She is passionate, professional and really takes the time to explain you what she does and how to improve your teeth and gum. The whole team is very friendly and professional, you can also hear nice music and have a view on the ocean while you are having your appointment!I had to come back a month later for a small emergency, Dr Keira made space right away, helped me sort it out and did not let me pay. I really recommand you to go there if you are looking for Dentistry. I come from France and I can tell you this is really really a next level experience!

Dr Harris and Dr Cara are both phenomenal. I was told by other dentists I had to have an operation to correct my underbite. With their experience and Invisalign it was quick, painless and overall a very pleasant experience. If you want the very best dental care, Optismile is the place. Thank you Dr Harris and Dr Cara! 🙂

The Optismile establishment as a whole is very impressive. So much care is taken to cater for the comfort of patients, from a beverage to a blanket, not forgetting the decent, genuine conversation that comes from the staff. Personally, Dr Yudelman ensured my dental emergency was handled swiftly, and to the utmost degree of efficiency, without even knowing me. I was reassured from the moment I sat in the chair.As I do not stay in The Western Cape full time, it was a concern that I might not find a professional who could understand my previous difficulties/history and thoughtfully make informed decisions for the steps to follow. He was kind and described the procedures, so I could understand what exactly would result from my appointment. No less, he helped me on very short notice, even staying after hours to ensure I received the help I needed.Thank you Dr Yudelman and Optismile for offering a service that is worth every minute and penny.

I went to OptiSmile initially to get a broken tooth fixed, and find out more about Invisalign. I was experiencing jaw pain and had been told I could expect more chipping and breaking of my molars unless I addressed the root cause of crooked bottom teeth in particular. I ended up spending seven months with Louis, Harris, Clifford and their assistants, who worked out a complete dental plan for me and then repaired and straightened my teeth but also so much more. And Verona, who checked in with me at every appointment. It's the most relaxed yet professional and adept dental practice I've been to, with the latest technology and dental advancements. I no longer worry about teeth breaking and my jaw pain is gone. Louis and Clifford were also happy to work without anaesthetic when I said I'd prefer not to have it. Everyone in the practice is down to earth and friendly, and it creates a welcoming environment where you feel you're in safe hands. I'm confident now that my teeth are strong and fit for purpose for years to come. Thanks to all of you for such a comfortable and seamless experience.

OptiSmile, Dr Louis, Clifford & the amazing dental assistants saved my smile.This is the best dentist in the world in my opinion after visiting veneer specialist dental clinics around the world and having a rough 2 year journey of trying to re-correct my original veneer work which I had done in the UK, Dr Louis, Clifford and OptiSmile saved me and have changed my life especially my mental health.I came to Optismile originally just for them to stick back on my veneer which had been falling off for the last two years, I really was hopeless and Clifford offered me a treatment plan which would re-correct the full veneer work with even more veneers included and also fix my bite which I had struggled with intense pain and regular headaches with.I ended up going for it, I trusted my instincts as not only you can see how professional they are but also friendly and the clinic is very modern with the latest technology.I had a full makeover and life changing smile all within 3 months, not to mention a very reasonable price for the highest quality.Dr Louis was in charge of my treatment and he allowed me to WhatsApp him with any concerns throughout, he’s become a good friend and I am so grateful.Thank you to everyone at Optismile, everyone on reception who are friendly, the dentists who are clear professionals, the assistants who are kind and gentle and everyone who made this journey so easy for me.Best,Lyndon.

I had the pleasure of being treated by the world class dentists at Optismile, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Dr. Cara did a fantastic job adding bridges, and Dr. Steyn was amazing with the implants. Their expertise and professionalism truly stand out. The entire experience was seamless, and they made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. Thanks to their excellent work, I now have a smile I'm proud of. Highly recommend these talented dentists to anyone in need of dental care!
