Cosmetic Dentistry News Cape Town The Future of Cosmetic Dentistry: No-Drill Techniques

Excellent professional and friendly service

A very welcome place, clean environment and good results for good smile 😃.

My 2 year old got injured on his front teeth during the festive season and there were not alot of paedi-dentist on-call. Struggled to find anyone available until I bumped into optismile website and contacted Dr. Yudelman. He was very hands on with giving us referrals and assisting with what we need to do in the mean time as we looked for someone available. I am forever grateful for him taking his time and always following up on us. Thank you so much Doc, God bless.

Juanette takes time to explains what need to be done. She proposes crowns but also respect patients who choose for repair of fillings. I like that approach. I am in the dentists hands but can make my own choice! This was my 3rd visit and I will ask next time for her again.

I had the opportunity to spend time at OptiSmile as a dental student visiting from the United States, and I can confidently say it was one of the best shadowing experiences I’ve had. Although I was not a patient, Dr. Yudelman and the entire staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and professional from the moment I arrived. Dr. Yudelman went out of his way to make me feel included and truly immersed in the practice, taking the time to show me everything they had going on and allowing me to observe different aspects of the clinic. What stood out most was how intentional he was about teaching and sharing his knowledge. It was clear that he genuinely cares about mentorship and creating a positive learning environment. The entire team also contributed to making the experience so comfortable and enjoyable. On top of that, the office itself is absolutely beautiful—modern, well-organized, and very patient-centered. I’m very grateful for the experience and would highly recommend OptiSmile, both for patients and for students seeking meaningful exposure to dentistry.

Highly recommend! I've been a patient with Dr Cara for almost 1.5 years and have been consistently impressed with the excellent service and friendly care. The dentists and all the admin staff are knowledgeable and professional! A top-notch dental experience!

Had an outstanding experience. Dr. Harris and Dr. Clifford were incredibly friendly and professional throughout. My teeth were slightly angled inward, so they treated it with a short course of Invisalign, followed by bleaching and bonding. The final result lools brilliant. So happy woth my new Smile.

Professional,honest care.

Dr. Cara and the Optismile team is simply the best dental experience I’ve had; including having lived in London and NYC for most of my adult life. The Optismile service is second to none and Dr. Cara’s clinical advice and work, great. I had multiple complicated dental issues, all of which were solved painlessly, quickly and efficiently. The consulting rooms are awesome as are the support team, billing process and very easy parking/access. March 2026. Update. Just visited Cape Town from NYC in order to be cleaned and checked up by Dr. Cara. I would only switch to another dentist if she was proven dead. Please don’t die Dr. Cara. Optismile is amazing because of you.

Without a doubt, the best dental practice. I initially came for an Invisalign consult and Dr Clifford gave me excellent advice about the pros and cons for my situation. Since then, I will only come here for my dental work. Dr Cara has become my regular dentist and I’ve never had such confidence in the state of my teeth. She is meticulous and takes exceptional pride in her work. Professional, friendly and always on time. They’ve done an outstanding job on a tricky front tooth veneer and addressed all my concerns. Similarly, the front desk are welcoming, responsive and always ‘on it.’ Your teeth are an investment and this is the place to do it.

Cannot thank Optismile enough. I've lived with a chipped tooth since my early teens, have had two dental visits in my life (before now), I'm now middle aged and can now remember how I looked (bar the couple decades😉) without a chipped tooth. Got my chipped tooth sorted, full clean and polish. Everything about the experience (not dental appointment/visit, "experience") was world class. From the location( sea views👌🏻), the tour of the practice (in a league of its own), the tech (again world class and in a league of its own) and most importantly the people (your good vibes kept me upbeat for the rest of the day😄). I left with an even bigger better smile, more informed, super super grateful and dumb founded at how a dental appointment could be an "experience". Super pleasant experience, thanks again.

Amazing experience yesterday. Tremendous care and time given to my Teeth Whitening. His service was truly amazing given in very professional surroundings.

I had to have an urgent cosmetic repair before leaving South Africa and I cannot speak more highly of the professionalism of everyone at the Optismile clinic! Truly world-class communication, diagnostics and dental work -- my smile is back and I couldn't be more thankful! Truly world class Dr. Clifford -- thank you so much!

Many thanks to Dr. Ruan and his team for a wonderful check up appointment and crown replacement. The office is state of the art. I have decades of dental visits under my belt and this was by far the most thorough and thoughtful. It’s so comforting to have every step explained in detail. HIGHLY recommend.

Mein Freund und ich sind aus der Schweiz und waren im Dezember bei Dr. Clifford in Kapstadt in Behandlung. Wir waren äusserst zufrieden. Die Praxis ist sehr modern, hervorragend ausgestattet und extrem hygienisch. Man fühlt sich vom ersten Moment an gut aufgehoben und professionell betreut. Dr. Clifford und das Team waren freundlich, kompetent und haben sich viel Zeit genommen. Wir können die Praxis uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen! Vielen Dank, wir werden wieder kommen☺️

Easily the best dentist in Cape Town. The practice, people and overall experience was superb.

Many thanks to Dr Clifford and the team at Optismile in Seapoint for giving me a truly five star experience from start to finish. I landed at Cape Town airport with tooth pain, and was seen promptly, with treatment the next day. Everything was delivered with compassion and gentleness, and backed up with the highest level of technology and expertise - and I say this as a dentist myself! I would highly recommend OptiSmile for all your dental needs, both as a visitor or a local.

Fabulous experience at OptiSmile, would fully recommend. I will return

Dr Ruan was exceptionally kind and made the entire experience of extraction/implant/bridge as easy as it possibly could have been

I’m incredibly grateful to OptiSmile and Dr. Harris for giving me the smile I’ve always dreamed of. My teeth were in such difficult condition that several orthodontists with braces didn’t even want to take me as a patient — but Dr. Harris saw potential where others didn’t. In just a little over a year, he transformed my smile to absolute perfection. His skill, care, and attention to detail are unmatched. I couldn’t have asked for a better doctor and a better clinic. If you’re looking for the best place to change your smile and your confidence, OptiSmile is the one. Truly life-changing!

We come to Cape Town every year, and a dental check-up and cleaning for the whole family is always a fixed appointment on our calendar. The entire staff is warm, welcoming, and efficient, and it truly shows how much they care about their patients. They operate at the highest standards, utilizing the latest technology and modern methods, which gives us great confidence in their care. Booking and communication via WhatsApp are incredibly easy and seamless. The experience feels almost like a spa treatment! They really take their time and never suggest any unnecessary procedures. We are already looking forward to our next visit. If you’re looking for a dentist who genuinely cares, go to OptiSmile.

I came to Optismile during my stay in Capetown as one of my tooth broke out. The service was top notch. Everybody working there is an absolute Professional, which is also felt in the quality of work that my dentist Cara has done on my teeth. I can recommend also the teeth whitening there - definitely gave me 2-3 shades lighter teeth in one go.

Top kliniek. Vriendelijk en zeer deskundig personeel. Nieuwste en meest geavanceerde apparatuur. Een aanrader wat mij betreft. Ik kan weer breeduit lachen.

Dr Clifford is an amazing attentive dentist. His attention to detail, and the willingness to tell u what he is doing step by step in your mouth whilist he is working is reassuring and very calming.

I can’t recommend Dr. Cara and her team enough. I’ve struggled with dental issues for a long time and was always terrified of going to the dentist, but everything changed when I visited OptiSmile and met Dr. Cara. She has an incredibly gentle approach and explains everything clearly, which is truly comforting. The entire staff is warm, welcoming, and efficient, and it really shows how much they care about their patients. Zanele is also exceptional when it comes to updating me with my appointments which I am grateful for. If you’re looking for a dentist who genuinely cares, go to OptiSmile—they are the best.
