Treatment and results: 10/10 Environment: 10/10 Technology and facilities: 10/10 Without a doubt the kindest, most caring team I have ever been to. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed and supported. They take the time to answer every question thoroughly and make sure you feel completely comfortable throughout the process. The positive energy in this place is incredible. The people around you genuinely lift you up, and you leave feeling better than when you arrived. I honestly wouldn’t go anywhere else. ❤️

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.

Had an outstanding experience. Dr. Harris and Dr. Clifford were incredibly friendly and professional throughout. My teeth were slightly angled inward, so they treated it with a short course of Invisalign, followed by bleaching and bonding. The final result lools brilliant. So happy woth my new Smile.

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☺️

Many thanks to Dr Clifford and the team at Optismile in Seapoint for giving me a truly five star experience from start to finish. I landed at Cape Town airport with tooth pain, and was seen promptly, with treatment the next day. Everything was delivered with compassion and gentleness, and backed up with the highest level of technology and expertise - and I say this as a dentist myself! I would highly recommend OptiSmile for all your dental needs, both as a visitor or a local.

Dentists use dental technology to provide patients with modern and high-quality care. Dental technology uses the latest advancements to provide earlier detection of problems, more clarity on the placement and fixing of cavities and even better predictions regarding what your smile and teeth could look like. It is used in procedures such as aligning your teeth, teeth whitening and composite bonding, to name a few.
Sometimes, dental insurance doesn’t cover the total costs of procedures. Luckily we have a range of finance options to help make your investment more manageable.
