DinoDent and Dr Amanda Marais

DinoDent and Dr Amanda Marais Child focussed dentist. Orthodontic treatment. Myobrace. Laser dentistry. Lip and tongue tie clinic. Then DinoDent is the right dental practice for your child!

Are you looking for a child focused dentist or someone to provide braces for your child? I have a masters in Paediatric dentistry, a diploma (together with multiple courses) in Orthodontic treatment. I love children and, as a mother, I know how frightening it can be to go to the dentist. DinoDent has the best "state of the art equipment", including:

A dinosaur dental chair that has a tablet (with

Showmax) and an octopus that hide the instruments,
Dog therapy: "Mauzie" is a beautiful calm miniature schnauzer that loves to sit on the kids laps while dental work is done. A highly specialized X-ray machine that can show panoramic views of both the baby and permanent teeth together,
An "AquaCare" machine that cleans cavities with water and salt instead of a drill,
A "Dental Wand" (electric injection) that looks like a pen and is less painful and daunting for both parent and child. Does your child have skew teeth? Have you been told to wait until all the permanent teeth are in the mouth before starting with braces (orthodontic treatment) or that your child needs to have healthy teeth pulled to make more space? In most cases it is beneficial to start early (interceptive) orthodontic treatment from as early as 7 or 8 years, but it is also very effective at a later age. This early treatment reduces the likelihood of extracting permanent teeth and jaw operations later in life. It is a cost effective and very conservative way of providing your child with a beautiful, confident smile! Come play at the dentist with a jungle-gym, playstation, dvd's and lots more!

A little note from your dentist:

Before your child's first visit, try to stay calm. You don't need to overexplain or promise. Just let them know we'll explain things clearly and take it one step at a time!

A dental checkup helps catch small concerns early and support healthy teeth.

As a bonus: it helps build confidence around visits from a young age 🦷

Meet the Panda scanner: a quick, comfortable way to scan your child’s mouth without the traditional moulds that can make kids gag or feel overwhelmed.

→ The digital scan can then be sent to the lab to create 3D-printed models and orthodontic appliances. Easier for kids, clearer for dentists 🦖🦷

Baby teeth may be small, but they play a big role in speech, smiles, and keeping space for adult teeth 🦷🦖
