I got injection molded composite bonding and Dr. Clifford was the GOAT! I was visiting from overseas and on a tight schedule and he was more than accommodating. Something I really loved too was the fact that their practice has all the new technology for dentistry, so essentially everything you’re getting is really precise to your needs. Dr. Clifford is also a phenomenal human, world traveler, experience from all over the world, friendly and easy going, and really does care about his patients. I wish he was my regular dentist here in the US, I’d totally go to him. Thank you Dr. Clifford for showing me what the best should look like! 🙂

OptiSmile, while on the pricier side, delivers an exceptional experience from start to finish. From the warm welcome at reception to the precision of their treatments, everything is handled with professionalism and care. They make use of the latest dental technology, and their staff are clearly highly trained and skilled.

We’re especially grateful that they took on my wife’s aligner treatment after she was unfortunately let down by her previous dentist in Johannesburg — a man named Tynan McArthur, who has since fled to Israel, leaving behind numerous unpaid debts and many patients in distress. OptiSmile stepped in when we needed real professionals, and we couldn’t be more thankful.

We now bring our whole family to their Cape Town practice, including our two children. Verona always goes out of her way to make us feel welcome and at ease, and Dr. Cara has been outstanding — highly professional, meticulous, and clearly passionate about her work.

Yes, it’s expensive, but with OptiSmile you’re paying for top-tier expertise, advanced technology, and a level of care that is truly world-class.

I cannot praise this clinic, their staff and particularly Dr Ruan Scheepers enough.
From the moment I walked through the door for an initial assessment till the time I walked out after month later after roughly 30 hours of dentistry, their professionalism, expertise, empathetic manner and flexibility was very evident.
If you need minor or major dental work done, go directly to these guys and ask for Dr Ruan Scheepers.

Very helpful and caring staff. Dr. Ruan was great at not only taking care of my teeth, but also educating me on everything going on. He actually helped me find out I had sleep apnea, which has been a game-changer for me. Would highly recommend Opti Smile

This is probably the best dental clinic in the world. My partner has already had a new smile, which she is completely satisfied with. She inspired me to also have my teeth beautified by Doctor Cara. The result is absolutely brilliant. The whole team, from reception to the assistants, are extremely friendly and you feel that you are in very good hands here. The clinic has the most modern infrastructure.

I am usually anxious about going to the dentist, but I still decided to get a dental cleaning, a check-up, and a bleaching treatment. At first, I didn’t fully understand why everything was necessary for the bleaching, even though the receptionist explained it to me.

Now that I’ve had the treatment, I have to say—it was the best experience I’ve ever had. Not only is the clinic stunning, but the professionalism and the way they treat you are outstanding. The dentist was with me for the entire three-hour session; he never left me alone. First, he explained everything he was going to do, step by step. He used equipment and techniques I had never seen before, not even in Switzerland or Germany.

The check-up was not just a quick look at my teeth—it was incredibly thorough. They took pictures, X-rays, and close-up scans. They explained everything in detail, going through each tooth one by one, showing me what was good and what needed attention. Their level of professionalism is truly remarkable.

The staff is super friendly and prepared for everything. The whole experience was incredible—highly professional, beautifully executed, and absolutely worth every penny. I would do it again without hesitation. Five stars aren’t enough to describe how amazing this place is. I would recommend it to everyone—just outstanding!

Five-star service represents exceptional, consistently flawless customer service that anticipates needs, exceeds expectations, and leaves a lasting positive impression. It's about going above and beyond to ensure customers feel valued and satisfied.

Nothing is truer from the moment you walk through the doors and are greeted by the amazing front desk staff and made to feel so welcome. The team at OptiSmile is nothing but professional, patient and a team of incredible and warming people.

Dr Cara is so professional and guided me throughout the whole process and procedure. Dr Cara uncovered other areas where attention was needed and plans were put together that made me leave with a big smile.

Thank you OptiSmile for the experience and for being an exceptional team.

The best experience I’ve had a dentist so far! Dr Cara was very kind and did the most exceptional job on my crown; and Dr Ruan did an amazing job on my root canal. His gentle, warm nature really put me at
ease. The experience was pain free, very
professional and it’s clear both doctors are very knowledgeable and skilled. The cost was worth the level of expertise and exceptional service. The hours these doctors work are very long and yet they have always given 100% at every appointment.
Appreciate them both immensely!

I've been going to Optismile for many years, and at this point would trust nobody else with my teeth! I've never been anything but extremely happy with work done, and beyond that the team obviously really cares about their customers happiness.

On the admin side booking or changes are always smooth and friendly.

I have had a lot of significant dental work done by a variety of dentists in the United States, Mexico and at OptiSmile. OptiSmile is clearly superior in every respect. With costs as they are in the United States, it is only slightly more expensive to fly to Cape Town and it is well worth it.

I've been a patient at OptiSmile for four years, and I couldn't be happier with my experience! The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and I truly appreciate that the dentist is always on time – no long waits here! The advanced technology they use makes procedures quick and pain-free, which is a game-changer. Dr. Ruan Scheepers is top-notch – professional, thorough, and genuinely cares about his patients' comfort and well-being. I highly recommend OptiSmile to anyone looking for exceptional dental care!

I had an outstanding experience with OptiSmile! The personal service I received from Verona and Dr. Clifford was truly exceptional. From start to finish, my Invisalign journey was far better than I could have ever expected. Their knowledge and expertise ensured that I had complete confidence in the process—there was never a moment of uncertainty.

The team at OptiSmile is incredibly professional, well-informed, and genuinely cares about their patients. I’ve already recommended them to friends and family and will continue to do so. Thank you, Dr. Clifford, Verona, and the entire OptiSmile team, for making this such a smooth and positive experience!

Pure magic. That is my experience Dr Clifford Yudelman and Siwe his assistant saving a most important tooth today. Without one moment of fearing the usual anxiety a visit to a dentist meant in my young days. None of the "what-ifs" that could happen during a 2 hour long reparation of a cracked tooth with ancient silver filling from long ago. None of the fear of what could happen should I not be able to swallow and saliva could smother me in the upside down position in a dentists chair! Not once did I experience that anxiety with Siwe sucking all my fear away. And then watching the artist/computer geek, Dr Clifford creating a new ceramic tooth, as if creating a 3D sculpture in photoshop! Then sending his design via internet to a machine that carves my new ceramic tooth as I watch it happening!
Thank you Team Clifford/Siwe for what is not the regular "dentist-fear but an experience of wonder at modern technology performed by Magicians.

The team at optismile has changed the way I look at dentistry. I use to fear going to the dentist, they make you feel so comfortable and welcomed.
They are not just your regular “reactive” dentist, a full assessment prior to your consult ensures a proactive approach to your dental health.
All the expertise you need in one place.
I now smile with confidence thanks to them!!
Friendly professional service.
I cannot recommend them enough.
The only thing I regret is not getting to them earlier.

I could not recommend Optismile enough! The reception staff are always so friendly & helpful, the practice environment is so clean & beautiful with amazing views, and the dental experts are, in my opinion, absolutely world class! I switched to Optismile when I wasn't happy with what was supposed to be the end result of my Invisalign treatment with another provider... Dr Smeyatsky was phenomenal, and he immediately understood why I wasn't yet satisfied & made a plan for me. The final result was exactly what I had always envisioned! Upon his advice, I also had some composite bonding done on two of my teeth after my treatment, which elevated my smile even further, while still looking natural & not giving that "overly done" look. Optismile has given me so much confidence in my smile. I'm so happy I chose this practice & every year without fail when I visit home from the UK, I go back for oral hygiene & a dental check-up to maintain the smile I now have. Every visit continues to be a delight!

Hallo zusammen ,
Ich war im Dezember in Kapstadt im Urlaub als ich dummerweise über Nacht heftige Zahnschmerzen bekam. Die Praxis in Seapoint wurde mir von Freunden empfohlen und ich habe sofort einen Termin bekommen. Das ganze Team hat sich super um mich gekümmert und Dr. Ruan ist ein super einfühlsamer Arzt der sich viel Zeit nimmt und alles genau mit mir besprochen hat.
Auch nach der Behandlung wurde sich noch des Öfteren per WhatsApp nach meinem Wohlbefinden informiert.
Ich kann die Praxis nur empfehlen !!!
Liebes OptiSmile Team : nochmal vielen vielen Dank für eure schnelle Hilfe. Macht weiter so . Ihr seid einfach super !!
Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland. Melanie

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!!!!!

Limited time FAQs

Look at our most common questions about how long different dental procedures take. If you have further questions, please reach out to us for help. 

60 minutes and if you include dental cleaning with the above, it’ll take 90 minutes overall. 

Fillings are a popular way for people to address their cavities, but how much time does the procedure require? Generally, getting a filling is a quick and straightforward process that takes between fifteen minutes and an hour at the most. 

Teeth whitening is a quick and easy procedure that takes about an hour in the dental chair. The process begins when a bleaching gel is applied to the teeth, followed by an LED activation light that helps to accelerate the reaction. This specially placed light allows for a gentle but powerful cleansing action that removes discolouration and yellowing without damaging surfaces or enamel. Whitening after cleaning will take between 90 and 120 minutes.

Don’t let dental extractions scare you! Even if it’s a complicated wisdom tooth removal, the procedure may take up to an hour, and It is important to note that in-chair teeth whitening treatments will vary depending on the severity of discolouration, so it is best to speak with a dentist for an accurate treatment time frame.

In addition, aftercare instructions must be followed correctly to ensure long lasting results. These may include at home touch ups and avoidingthe recovery time is usually quick. Gums are relatively quick to heal, only two weeks at most! The bone beneath them might take longer, but 3-4 months should do the trick. As for Root Canals, these can be completed in about 120 minutes during a single visit, or it can be split into two. However, teeth with multiple roots can present more of a challenge and require multiple visits over time with a specialist. 

Invisalign appointments typically take between 45 and 60 minutes each time. Our Invisalign specialists will evaluate your mouth to determine what changes need to be made and then craft your treatment plan. This includes taking digital scans of your teeth, creating a 3D model of the patient’s bite, creating a series of clear aligners tailored to your needs, and planning for future adjustments throughout the orthodontic process. During the appointment, you can expect to receive your first set of aligners and instructions on using them throughout the remainder of treatment. 

Dental bonding typically takes as little as an hour to complete. During the procedure, a resin-like material is applied to repair chips and cracks in teeth or even change the shape and size of the tooth itself. Once applied, a specialised tool is used to shape it before hardening it with a UV light.
