Most smile-makeover regret starts in the consultation, not the chair.

Second-opinion patients tell us the same thing: they didn’t know what to ask. So here’s the short list — and the reason COHA® exists. We assess the whole mouth and the whole person before anyone talks about veneers.

Some moments remind me exactly why I love being a dentist. 🤍

This thoughtful gift and handwritten card from a patient made my day. Reading their words, I was reminded how much the care we give—and the way we make people feel—can mean to someone.

Creating a beautiful, healthy smile is deeply rewarding. So is the relationship that grows along the way: getting to know the person in the chair, listening to their concerns, and building the confidence to trust each other.

For me, that is the heart of relationship-driven dentistry. Patients feeling heard, cared for and valued, and knowing how much we appreciate the trust they place in us.

Thank you for this lovely gesture, and to every patient who allows me to be part of their journey. These connections make the work so meaningful.

This is the essence of Trust Dentistry. 🤍

Your teeth tell part of the story. Understanding you completes the picture.

COHA — Comprehensive Oral Health Assessment — brings your medical history, nutrition, habits and sleep into the conversation alongside your teeth and gums.

It’s designed to help us understand your individual risks, personalise prevention and guide informed decisions about your care.

When restorative treatment is needed, that broader understanding helps shape a plan around your needs and goals. The before and after ceramic photographs show one patient’s restorative journey.

At Trust Dentistry, our focus is the person behind the smile.

A broader view of oral health. A more personal approach to care.

Five years later, look beyond the ceramics. Look at the gums.

A long-term review is about more than how restorations look. The health of the surrounding gum tissue is an important part of their lasting success.

Careful planning, precise restoration margins and consistent maintenance all help support healthy tissues and restoration longevity.

This is where COHA — Comprehensive Oral Health Assessment — brings a broader perspective: assessing gum health alongside daily habits, medical history and other relevant risk factors to guide personalised prevention and ongoing care.

Beautiful ceramics are part of the result. Supporting the health around them is part of protecting it.

Five-year follow-up. A smile worth maintaining.

“Don’t pay more than you have to for your dentistry.”

For too many people, the cost of dentistry has put essential care out of reach. That is something I want to help change.

One of the cornerstones of Trust Dentistry is to make quality dental care more affordable and more valuable to our patients—without compromising the standard of care.

That means putting prevention first, helping you understand your oral health, and planning treatment around your needs and budget. It is also the thinking behind COHA, our Comprehensive Oral Health Assessment: a clearer understanding of your health to guide more informed, personalised care.

Value is about more than the cost of an appointment. It is about helping you protect your health and making every investment in your smile count.

That is the practice I am building at Trust Dentistry.

My favourite smile treatment? ABB — Align, Bleach & Bond.

Align the teeth, brighten the smile, then refine the shape with carefully placed composite bonding. A conservative approach that preserves natural tooth structure and lets your personality shine through.

I’m now practising full time at Trust Dentistry, where our focus is on making dentistry more sustainable and affordable, with long-term health at the heart of every smile.

With COHA — Comprehensive Oral Health Assessment, we look beyond appearance to understand your oral health and its connection to your overall wellbeing.

Beautiful smiles. Thoughtful care. A healthier future.

This is why every implant at Trust Dentistry leaves with a maintenance plan attached — not a procedure that ends at placement, but a structure tracked for life. Probing depths. Bone levels. Checked on a schedule, not by chance.

That’s what COHA is built for — catching what’s happening around the implant before the bone, or the rest of the body, does.

Place it well. Track it forever. Never let it fail quietly.

Swipe through. Then ask your dentist when your implant was last actually checked — not just looked at.

After 8 incredible years by my side, my amazing dental assistant, Hortensia, is beginning a very special new chapter. ❤️

While I am incredibly sad to see her go, I couldn’t be happier for her. She is following her dream and will be joining the church full-time — and I am so proud of her.

Hortensia has been so much more than a dental assistant. She has been an important part of my journey, my patients’ journeys, and the culture we have built together. The short video above is her story, in her own words.

And now, as one chapter closes, another begins…

I’m looking for an exceptional dental assistant to join my team.

We are entering one of the most exciting periods of my career as we move into our beautiful new home at Trust Dentistry in Cape Town — including a surgery overlooking our magnificent Table Mountain. ⛰️

But what makes this opportunity special isn’t the view.

It’s the culture.

We have worked incredibly hard to create an environment that is positive, supportive, caring and ambitious — a place where people genuinely enjoy coming to work, where every member of the team matters, and where we strive every day to deliver extraordinary care.

I’m looking for someone dynamic, warm, highly motivated and passionate about dentistry. Someone who wants more than simply a job — someone who wants to grow, learn and become part of a very special journey.

If you are HPCSA registered, have at least 5 years’ dental assisting experience, and feel that this sounds like the environment you’ve been looking for, I would love to hear from you.

Please send your CV, together with a short message telling us why you would love to join our team, to:
