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.

What Is Injection Moulded Composite Bonding?

Process for Injection Moulded Composite Bonding

Scanning with iTero: We start by taking detailed digital pictures of your teeth. It’s quick, precise, and comfortable, leaving behind those messy traditional impressions.


Designing with ExoCAD: Next, we use top-notch software to design a smile that fits you perfectly. It’s all about ensuring your new teeth look natural and feel great.

Creating the Perfect Fit with Exaclear: We make a unique mould that matches your new tooth design. Consider it a perfect guide to ensure everything fits just right.

Isolate, Etch Teeth, and Apply Bonding Compound: We carefully prepare your teeth so the new material will stick firmly. It’s all about setting the stage for a lasting and beautiful smile.

Injecting the Composite: Your new teeth are crafted by injecting a unique material into the mould. It’s like filling a jelly mould but with high-tech precision!

 

Ensuring a Perfect Fit: We ensure the material fits snugly into the mould, providing a perfect replica of your planned smile.

 

Turning Liquid into Solid: A special light is used to harden the material, turning it into a solid tooth-like form. It’s a vital step in making your new teeth strong and ready for action.

Polishing and Shaping: Your new teeth are perfectly shaped and polished. It’s like the final touch on a masterpiece, ensuring they blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Benefits of The Injection Moulding Technique

One of the most revolutionary advancements in dentistry is the use of injection moulded composite. This leading-edge technology offers several unique benefits:
  1. Precision and Aesthetics: The composite material blends into the tooth’s colour, maintaining a natural appearance. Planning before whitening ensures a flawless colour match.
  2. Versatility: Suitable for almost all patients, including younger ones wishing to avoid unnecessary removal of healthy tooth structure. Whether restoring a single tooth or multiple teeth, this technique offers ultimate flexibility. Uniform thickness ensures optimal adaptation on the tooth surface.
  3. Conservation of Tooth Structure: This method preserves healthy tooth structure, requiring minimal preparation compared to other restorative techniques. This is particularly valuable for patients wanting to maintain as much of their natural tooth as possible.
  4. Predictable and Efficient Technique: The technique allows accurate placement and shaping of the injectable material, saving the dentist and patient time.
  5. Maintenance and Durability: Our material is highly polishable, reducing discolouration. Regular maintenance may be necessary, and protective measures such as a bite plate or occlusal guard are advisable for those who grind their teeth.

What Can Injection Moulding Be Used For?

Injection Moulding for Dental Veneers

Dental veneers, thin shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance, have also benefited from the advancements in injection moulding techniques. Traditionally, veneers are crafted from porcelain or composite resin materials. However, injection moulded composite bonding (often referred to as composite veneers) presents a leading alternative. This method involves creating a digital design of the veneer, which is then accurately brought to life using a mould. The flowable ceramic composite is injected into this mould, ensuring an impeccable fit and natural appearance.

Injection Moulding for Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is an innovative technique that employs the precision of injection moulding to restore or enhance the appearance of teeth seamlessly. In this method, a technician digitally designs the ideal tooth shape and anatomy, which is then precisely replicated onto the tooth. We’ll fix the space between the teeth using specially crafted moulds and the new design is filled with a flowable ceramic composite material.
