QUESTIONS
Good questions, clear answers.
Everything people usually ask before their visit. Anything else, just ask us.
What does a consultation involve, and what will it cost?
Dr Dineo examines your mouth, listens to your concerns and talks you through your options. Our team will gladly tell you the fee when you call or book. If X-rays are needed, she explains why before taking them. You'll always get a quote before any treatment starts.
Is Dr Dineo taking new patients?
Yes. We warmly welcome new patients of all ages.
What happens at my first appointment?
A full examination, a conversation about your concerns and goals, X-rays or digital images only if they're needed, and a treatment plan made for you. Nothing is done without explaining it first.
Do you see children?
Yes. We keep children's visits gentle, unhurried and positive, and parents are welcome in the room.
Do you accept medical aid?
Yes. We work with most South African medical aids, and we're happy to help with benefit questions and claims. See our medical aid page for the list.
I'm nervous about the dentist. Can you help?
Absolutely, and you're not alone. We go at your pace, explain everything before we start, and there are noise-cancelling headphones if the sounds bother you. Mention it when you book and we'll plan a little extra time.
What treatments do you offer?
Check-ups and cleaning, fillings, extractions, root canal treatment, children's dentistry, whitening, clear aligners, crowns, veneers and bridges, dentures, retainers and night guards, and emergency consultations.
How often should I have a check-up?
Most people do well with a check-up and clean every six months. Dr Dineo will suggest what's right for you.
Why choose Clear Smiles Clinic?
