What Clients Are Saying About OptiSmile

I started treatment here with the best mouth survey I’ve ever had with Cara using the latest high tech equipment and was given a clear dental plan.I was personally very encouraged with the health summary for my gums and teeth as I’m 61 and as an adolescent in the 70’s had 4 double teeth pulled and the whole UK train tracks of amalgam in most double teeth by the end of my teens, several ‘on... trend’ root canals in the 1980’s which wasn’t the best start for strong teeth in older age. I spent the 1990’s slowly having amalgam out and gold or porcelain or composite fillings put in.I’ve seen a lot of dentists over the years and am only writing all this to encourage you if you are nervous or know you need some work.At Optismile I had the most gentle drilling I have ever had on an old large filling that needed replacing.It was superb work. Even the anesthetic was just what was needed and wore off gently and quickly.Highly recommended. Great value.read more

My experience with OptiSmile was great. I managed to get an appointment very quickly for my tooth ache and the support over phone in preparation of the appointment was much welcome and appreciated. Dr Clifford is very friendly and helped me out efficiently without having to go through unnecessary screens and test.

The best experience. I was suffering from a cracked tooth whilst travelling and contacted OptiSmile on NYE. I received fast and friendly responses with an appointment on the 2nd. They quickly identified and resolved the issue for me. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The actual space is beautifully designed and belongs in Switzerland. If only all dentists and healthcare providers were so... great. Thank you!read more

Dr Clifford was beyond amazing. Best experience I’ve ever had with a dentist. Facilities and technology they use are the best I’ve ever seen. I went in with an issue my dentist had recommended a root canal for and wanted a second opinion. Dr Clifford said it wasn’t necessary and fixed my issue in a much less invasive fashion. Thankyou so much!

Absolutely amazing experience. I had a year and a half of Invisalign and then had Injection Molding done to finish it off. I had a completely new smile and a comfortable bite. I felt looked after through the entire experience, Optismile always went the extra mile for me.

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

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

What is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is a severe, potentially life-threatening sleep disorder in which individuals experience pauses in their breathing while asleep. These pauses can last from a few seconds to minutes, preventing an individual from getting a restful night of sleep. In some cases, episodes can occur hundreds of times throughout the night. Not only does this leave an individual feeling exhausted, but it increases their risk of developing severe medical conditions such as high blood pressure and Type 2 diabetes. Unfortunately, many people are unaware they have this condition, as its symptoms are often mistaken for insomnia or snoring. Chatting with your dentist at OptiSmile is essential to prevent future complications.

Sleep Apnea Solutions & How It Works

Oral Appliances for Sleep Apnea?

Snoring And Sleep Apnea 1

According to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM), oral appliance therapy is an effective first-line treatment for those with mild or moderate obstructive sleep apnea. Even patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who cannot tolerate other forms of treatment are advised to try one of these custom-designed appliances like the ApniSleep® Mandibular Advancement Device, our high-tech 3D printed device. A large percentage of those diagnosed with OSA have reported positive results after using a dental appliance such as ApniSleep® at night. 

How Does ApniSleep® Work?

Snoring And Sleep Apnea 2

ApniSleep® type devices are a proven and effective way to combat snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. It fits comfortably in the mouth and works by repositioning the lower jaw, allowing the tissue at the back of the throat to relax and prevent it from collapsing and blocking off your airways. What sets ApniSleep® apart from other oral appliance solutions is its custom-designed design that adjusts precisely to each patient’s unique anatomy, providing maximum effectiveness while still feeling comfortable in your mouth. 

Why Choose ApniSleep® for Snoring and Sleep Apnea?

Snoring And Sleep Apnea 3

ApniSleep® is the ideal choice for snoring and sleep apnea, offering superior quality and customised design. Among the many advantages of using a device like ApniSleep® are that it has been verified to be 90% effective, with patients reporting reduced snoring and apnea. The slim design ensures comfortable wear for extended periods without disrupting the patient’s regular breathing pattern or the ability to open and close their mouth. You spend a third of your life asleep, so ensure it’s enjoyable and comfortable and choose a device customised for your needs.

Snoring & Sleep Apnea FAQs

Take a look at our most common questions about snoring and sleep apnea. If you have further questions, please reach out to us for help. 

Surgery is an option for those who suffer from obstructive sleep apnea, wherein the airway becomes blocked in the upper passages. Different surgeries may be used to enlarge the passageways, such as removing or reducing tissue from the uvula, tonsils, soft palate, adenoids or tongue. This is not recommended in most cases and has a very high failure rate with further complications.

Additionally, mandibular advancement surgery may be conducted, pushing the upper and lower jaw forward. In cases where other treatments prove to be ineffective in providing a snoring cure, surgery can be utilised as a last resort. 

There are a few lifestyle changes you can make to help with sleep apnea. Changing your sleeping position from lying on your back to sleeping on your side can help. Treating your allergies can allow for a solid night’s rest, so there are no disturbances. Losing weight if obese can help contribute to a better night’s rest. We recommend avoiding sleep-inducing drugs before bedtime as they can alter your sleep patterns and create a “heavy” feeling in the morning. 

Sleep apnea is a severe disorder that can lead to various health problems. Anyone can be affected, but it is most commonly seen in people who are overweight or obese and men above the age of forty. Other individuals at risk for sleep apnea include those with large necks of 43 centimetres or more in diameter and a family history of the disorder. It is also important to note that some medical conditions, such as diabetes, can increase the risk of sleep apnea. 

Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder in which breathing is disrupted during sleep. There are three main types of sleep apnea: obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), central sleep apnea (CSA), and mixed sleep apnea. OSA involves obstruction of the upper airway during sleep due to collapse or narrowing of the windpipe. Obesity, enlarged tonsils, larger neck size, and other physical abnormalities can cause OSA. CSA occurs when the brain fails to control respiration during sleep properly. Mixed sleep apnea combines OSA and CSA, causing impacted respiration during sleep. Each type can cause serious health issues if left untreated; however, proper diagnosis and treatment can usually manage your condition effectively.
