Dr Clifford Yudelman makes going to the dentist almost fun😄. Great conversation & music throughout the session.

Dr Harris and Dr Cara are both phenomenal. I was told by other dentists I had to have an operation to correct my underbite. With their experience and Invisalign it was quick, painless and overall a very pleasant experience. If you want the very best dental care, OptiSmile is the place. Thank you Dr Harris and Dr Cara! :)Luke Dixon

I was experiencing jaw pain and had been told I could expect more chipping and breaking of my molars unless I addressed the root cause of crooked bottom teeth in particular. I ended up at OptiSmile with Louis, Harris, Clifford and their assistants, who worked out a complete dental plan for me and then repaired and straightened my teeth but also so much more. It's the most relaxed yet professional and adept dental practice I've been to, with the latest technology and dental advancements. I no longer worry about teeth breaking and my jaw pain is gone. Everyone in the practice is down to earth and friendly, and it creates a welcoming environment where you feel you're in safe hands. I'm confident now that my teeth are strong and fit for purpose for years to come. Thanks to all of you for such a comfortable and seamless experience.Kelly Fletcher

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! 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.Matt Stanley

I come from France and I can tell you this is really, really a next level experience! Dr Keira is one of the best dentists I have ever had. I came in July with my partner and we had the best treatment. She is passionate, professional and really takes the time to explain you what she does and how to improve your teeth and gum. The whole team is very friendly and professional, you can also hear nice music and have a view of the ocean while you are having your appointment!Tiphaine Gualda

6 years ago I was visiting Cape Town from the US and chipped my tooth! Dr. Ratan saw me immediately and did a quick and flawless job - one of the best dental experiences I have ever had. Very highly recommend this state-of-the-art, professional, and friendly dentistry to anyone. Could not have been more happy or impressed with my experience.Tinsley Corbett

7 years ago I was on vacation in Cape Town, with a friend's wedding to attend and my bridge fell out!! It was on the weekend and Dr Yudelman agreed to come in and refit it for me. He did an awesome job, and the bridge now feels like it did when it was originally fitted over 7 years ago. The service was professional, courteous, and in super facilities - the best I have ever seen. I can't recommend Optismile and Dr Yudelman highly enough. Thank you :-)Al Giles
