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.

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!

Dr. Clifford is amazing! I came from the states to do injection molded bonding. I also had my teeth cleaned and whitened. The whole team is friendly, the office is beautiful, and the result is better than I could have imagined. Thank you so much to Dr. Clifford and team 🙌🏼 Highly highly recommend

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!!!!!

For the first time in my life I have a smile to be proud of!

Working with OptiSmile over the past 7 months has been nothing short of incredible. The entire team is warm, welcoming and they take the time to make sure the plan they create is suited to your goals. In just 7 months I have gone from having chipped, yellow and misaligned teeth to a clean white smile!

A special thank you to both Dr Harris and Dr Cara. Dr Harris was responsible for getting my teeth into the correct positions and Dr Cara is an artist for what she has done to create my smile! I will be eternally grateful to both, and the entire team for what they have achieved.

If you are looking for a highly skilled and passionate team to help you get the smile you've always wanted, OptiSmile is the way to go.

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.
