Highly recommend this practice! Dr. Clifford and the entire team were incredibly friendly, informative, professional, patient, and so much more. My older sibling recommended this practice to me and said it was even better than the dental offices we visit in the U.S., as we are visitors to CPT. She was absolutely right! This has become my favorite dental practice, and with my frequent visits to CPT, it will definitely be my go to office moving forward. Dr. Clifford carefully reviewed everything that had been explained to me by my U.S. dental provider and quickly recognized that I was being recommended treatment that were not needed and that they were trying to take advantage of me. The technology at OptiSmiles is far more advanced than what I have experienced at many dental practices in the States. Communication is also excellent! You’ll receive responses quickly, and the team is always willing to help. I have complete confidence in OptiSmiles and highly recommend them to anyone looking for honest, high-quality dental care. They are not focused on upselling services or taking your money. Instead, they genuinely care about your dental health, your smile, and providing the best care possible.

An exceptional experience from start to finish. My journey was a year long & covered replacing old fillings on numerous teeth, Invisalign, cleaning, crowns & injection moulding for that perfect smile. Dr Clifford & Dr Harris are two gentlemen that take the utmost pride in their jobs & attention to detail is key for them. No amount of time spent with them is too long & they never rush you, they answer the same questions over & over with clarity. They make you feel comfortable & that your journey matters, you are not just another client. All the staff are so in sync & as you move from one step to the next all are ready for you. The detailed reports you receive, the reminders for appointments, their equipment & programs used along with the friendliness of all make this journey a pleasant one for a process that usually is not. I can only highly recommend this practice for ALL your dental needs & thank all involved for the exceptional treatment & service!

I had an excellent experience at OptiSmile. My appointment with Aaqilah , the hygienist, was outstanding. She took the time to listen to my concerns and carefully explained every step of the process, which immediately put me at ease. OptiSmile’s new Swiss-made AIRFLOW machine made the cleaning experience remarkably gentle and comfortable. I walked out with a huge smile and noticeably cleaner teeth. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a modern, professional, and genuinely caring dental experience.

My husband and I have both had top notch experiences with what could have been very complicated dental issues. After another dentist cracked his tooth, my husband received exceptional care from Dr Jaco, who fitted an implant that should last him a lifetime. Dr Yudelman is incredibly passionate about what he does. Seeing him is actually a treat. Dr Cara did an amazing job treating my severe teeth grinding with Botox. All the staff are knowledgeable, friendly and professional. I really cannot recommend this practice highly enough.

Thank you so much Opti smile for restoring my smile.Dr Juanette is the best dentist in town. I struggled for more than 10 years in trying to get a proper smile as my implants were always not the correct color or size. I previously went to 3 dentists who could not assist to get me the perfect smile despite they promise and high costs. From day one Opti smile has been a breeze including the friendly reception lady Zanele and lady Verona the manager. Dr Clifford himself also showed a lot of interest in my case as well on every visit. I am so grateful to Dr Juanette for making everything seamless and easy and her professional assistant Olwethu who showed a lot of sympathy for my case. I also thank Dr Cara who showed a lot of interest in my case. I know have a perfect smile and my confidence is restored. I have been Opti- smiled!! I recommend anyone with dental problems to visit this place. God Bless Brian Shelton

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.

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.

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☺️

Why Your Dentist Should Use The Latest Dental Microscopes

Teeth are small, making it very easy for the naked eye to miss fine cracks on a tooth. Now think about having to work on a specific part of a tooth, and it’s even smaller. This is why dentistry is considered a microsurgery – All dental examinations and procedures are done with the highest possible magnification.

With world-renowned optics and six magnification levels, our Leica microscope delivers crystal-clear images with incredible depth of field. It allows us to zoom in up to 40 x, giving us the power to detect and diagnose problems in their early stages before they become difficult and expensive to manage.

Working this close-up allows for better conservative and preventative dentistry while reducing the chance of failure or return visits.

No matter what your dental concerns may be. OptiSmile Advanced Dentistry and Implant Centre can help you achieve the confident smile you have always wanted. 

Leica Microscope FAQ’s

Take a look at our most common questions about our dental technology, including the Leica microscopes, and if you have any questions, please feel free to ask. 

Dentists rely on high-quality Leica microscopes to provide accurate diagnoses and treatments. These precision instruments give dentists a closer look at the teeth and mouth, allowing them to detect any issues affecting a patient’s oral health. Microscopes come in different types, supplying unique features and benefits. Some offer the convenience of a cordless setup, while others provide adjustable light settings to reveal even the tiniest details. When paired with dental tools such as digital X-rays, cameras, and 3D imaging systems, these microscopes give dentists a deeper understanding of their patient’s individual needs. 

A dental microscope is an invaluable tool for dentists and hygienists. Allowing the dentist or hygienist to see the mouth and teeth in greater detail at very high magnification helping them diagnose dental problems quickly and accurately. Additionally, it allows the practitioner to view and work on small areas that may not be visible to the naked eye.. All of this contributes to ensuring that patients get the best treatment available. With its help, practitioners can pinpoint issues more effectively while providing the patient with better care at the same time. 

Dentistry has come a long way since the days of manual tools and vague imaging techniques. A dental microscope is a unique tool that allows dentists to perform their job with accuracy, precision and extraordinary detail. Even the most minor problems in a patient’s mouth can be seen clearly with different magnification levels, illumination and ergonomic design. This leads to early diagnoses quicker than those performed with conventional magnifying equipment or the naked eye. Not only is this beneficial in keeping patients healthy, but it also helps educate them on the condition of their teeth, giving them a greater understanding of their overall oral health. Ultimately, the dental microscope provides invaluable assistance to dentists and patients alike! 

Using a microscope in dentistry offers many advantages for both the patient and dental professionals. Its superior magnification and specialised optics provide the dentist with an improved field of view and depth of focus, allowing for a more precise diagnosis of oral conditions and tooth decay. For the patient, that means early detection and interventions are possible, leading to less unpleasant treatments, such as smaller fillings or a reduced need for endodontics if the damaged pulp is noticed sooner. Additionally, enhanced visibility means fewer retouches may be necessary after an initial procedure is completed since small corrections can be made quickly. Overall, using a microscope in dentistry increases accuracy while reducing potential risks associated with extended dental visits or procedures.
