About Us

We believe in more than just perfecting your smile, we believe in transforming your dental care journey into an unforgettable experience.

As a premier UK dental tourism company, we have partnered with leading global service providers to offer you a unique combination of world-class dental treatments and luxurious travel adventures to South Africa.

Our team of internationally acclaimed Dentists are 100% fluent in English and include some of the world’s best, many of whom are registered and have thrived in practices across the UK, the USA, Europe, Australia, and South Africa.

They have since been welcoming UK and international patients for decades, including TV personalities, celebrities and esteemed members of royal families. Each clinician ensures that you will receive the highest quality care and results.
From your initial free consultation, where your ideal choice of South African practice and doctors will listen to and understand your unique needs and goals, to visiting one of over 600 UK dentists closest to you for imaging (X-rays, 2D/3D or CT scans) prior to travel, right through to submitting a detailed investment proposal for your review, final approval, treatment and post-care.

We offer a personalised approach tailored to every aspect of your dental journey. Our teams meticulously consider every detail to ensure your peace of mind and complete comfort throughout your experience with us
View our South African Experts
Our approved clinicians in South Africa use the same high-quality components and materials used by many leading UK dental clinics, sourced from the same top dental manufacturers, to ensure excellent post-care and continuity back in the UK.

Treatments and procedures in South Africa are more affordable due to a number of determining factors, including lower-operating costs, staff salaries, rent, insurance, and taxes, as well as a favourable exchange rate, where one British Pound (GBP) is approximately 23.5 times stronger than the South African Rand (ZAR).
For instance, 2024 statistics show that the minimum wage in the UK was around £11.44 per hour, while in South Africa just £1.44 per hour. This disparity partly explains why, as of August 2024, a 2L bottle of Coca-Cola Zero Sugar was 84% cheaper in South Africa, and a McDonald’s Big Mac was 125% cheaper, and the average salary in the UK is more than 2.5 times higher.

Worth knowing is that whillst some Eastern European and emerging market countries are known for offering cheap prices because they offer and manufacture their own cheap components, the affordability of treatments by our approved clinics in South Africa compared to the UK stems primarily from savings on operational costs, taxes, and a favorable exchange rate—never a compromise on quality.

This allows UK residents to benefit from Dental Spas and Safaris® offering premium dental care combined with top-tier services and luxurious travel experiences, all at exceptional value and a more accessible price. In fact, what might afford an average practitioner in the UK would secure one of the world’s best in South Africa.
We have teamed up with leading service providers in the UK and South Africa to ensure each one of our clients embarks on their journey with absolute confidence, prioritising peace of mind and comfort at every step.

In collaboration with renowned dental clinics across the UK with over 600 locations for pre-travel imaging to choose from, and South Africa for exceptional dental treatment, we ensure seamless coordination for all your pre- and post-procedure needs.

Welcome to South Africa

Dr. Clifford and his extended team are true masters. They lead an exceptional state of the art practice with passion and utmost dedication to their clients. I have had some extensive work done by Dr. Clifford, where he did a collaboration with my dentist from the United States, he went above and beyond to repair a very tricky situation and I could not be happier. There is no other dental practice that I would recommend with such confidence. Thank you to Dr. Clifford and everyone at Optismile for your impeccable care.

I had an amazing experience at OptiSmile last month, whilst visiting Cape Town from the UK. From the moment I entered this beautiful, state of the art practice, I was put at ease and the entire treatment procedure over the next 3 weeks, truly exceeded my expectations. I am beyond happy and very impressed with my brand new, beautiful smile. Thank you Dr Yudelman, Dr Ratan, Emma, King and all the rest of the OptiSmile Team for your kindness and professionalism, I will definitely see you on my next visit. Beverley Tyson

Being Scottish, the enjoyment of good return on investment is a guiding factor. When I received the steep quote to 'renovate' years of not looking after my mouth and teeth followed by sub-standard dental work .... I was a little suspicious. Well, well ...... the Enamel team were relational, really skilled at their work and actually passionate about dentistry. Can you believe this? Passionate about teeth. This is big. Howard, you are the don of all implants. Sheryl, you were exceptional (Dr Smithies) and thank-you Rene and Nikita for adding to the experience. It was worth every cent and more. Thanks gals and yes, Howard.

Dr Cahi and his team are absolutely fantastic. I had limited time to do a lot of treatments to solve a number of issues with my teeth and Dr Cahi put a plan together to ensure I would get all the treatments done and with great outcomes. I feel much better, more confident and more functional. Dr Cahi is extremely thorough to ensure the outcome is as natural and functional as it possibly can. My family and friends are very impressed and so am I. Thank you so much to Dr Cahi and his fantastic team:

I will never be able to thank Dr Van Rooyen enough for giving me the smile I have always dreamed of! It is just perfection. 😁 I am absolutely in love with Patheodent! Their staff and customer service is of the best I have ever experienced. And I have seen my fair share of dentist practices over the years.

I cannot recommend this practice more highly. I found the work carried out to an exceptionally high standard. I had a fairly complicated and in-depth treatment plan which was explained very clearly and carried out with great skill.

Hout Bay Dental Studio

I had to have a complicated mouth surgery. At first, dentists were brought in to advise on how to do the surgery which according to them would take a few visits over a lengthy period of time. Instead, Dr Siebold came up with an idea that others said could not be achieved. In one six hour sitting, the surgery was successfully accomplished by Dr Siebold. I am grateful to have met him! I trust only him and the team he works with now!
