“I have been meaning to sort my teeth out for years. I just did not want the hard sell.”

Fair enough. A consultation here is a conversation with Dr Essop, a proper examination and a straight answer, including “you do not need treatment yet” when that is the truth. It costs R680 and commits you to nothing.

Treatments

Whatever stage of life the teeth are at

Children

A first screening around age seven. Often the honest answer is “all fine, come back later”, and that is a good visit.

First screening ~ age 7

Teenagers

The classic years, with growth working in our favour. Braces go on, colours get chosen, and chosen again at every visit.

The core of the practice

Adults

Around a third of our patients are adults. You will not be the only adult in the waiting room.

Invisible options

Clear aligners and ceramic braces. Nobody at work needs to know.

How it works

The whole plan, in three steps

1

Come and talk

A consultation with Dr Essop himself, from R680. An examination, your questions answered, and a straight opinion. Sometimes the answer is “not yet”.

2

Get your own plan

Photographs, x-rays and a digital 3D scan, with no impression trays. Dr Essop analyses them personally. Nothing is quoted on the spot, because nothing is guessed.

3

Watch it change

Braces or aligners, adjusted visit by visit, until the day they come off and the mirror gets a long look.

Comprehensive braces run R37 000 to R60 000 for children, teenagers and adults alike, and early treatment for children starts from R5 000. Payment spreads over 12 to 20 months, interest-free. The monthly figure is the one worth looking at.

For referring dentists

Nine years on your side of the referral

Dr Essop was a general dentist for nine years before specialising, so he plans around the restorative work that follows. Every referred patient goes back with a full diagnosis, a treatment plan, complete records and a traced ceph.

If the plan needs to fit around your future work, phone. It will be modified to suit.
