FAQ
Popular Questions
Find answers to common questions about our services, procedures, and policies. We’re here to provide you with the information you need for a smooth and informed dental experience.
What are dental implants, and who is a candidate for them?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium that provide a permanent base for fixed or removable replacement teeth. Candidates typically have healthy gums, sufficient bone to support the implant, and are in good overall health.
What is a root canal, and when is it necessary?
| A root canal is a treatment to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed or infected. It's necessary when the tooth's pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth) becomes inflamed or infected, which can cause pain and swelling. |
Do we offer braces?
| Yes we do! We offer Clear aligners. These are a type of orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic trays to gradually shift teeth into their desired position. They are a discreet alternative to traditional braces. |
What are veneers, and what issues can they fix?
| Veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite resin that are bonded to the front of your teeth to improve their appearance. They can fix issues like discolored, chipped, or misaligned teeth, giving you a brighter and more even smile. |
How can I replace missing teeth?
| Missing teeth can be replaced with dental implants, bridges, or dentures. The best option depends on your specific situation, including the number of missing teeth, your oral health, and your budget. Your dentist can recommend the most suitable solution. |
Do we offer payment plans?
| Yes we do! We are partnered with MediWallet and Pay Just Now. These payment plans allow you to get your dental treatment now and pay for your treatment with 3 interest-free installments. |
Do you accept medical aid?
| We do accept most medical aids! Our receptionists can confirm everything regarding your medical aid coverage and possible co-payments when you book your consultation. If you would like a full break down before booking your consultation, visit our medical aid query page and the receptionist at the practice closest to you will inform you directly. |
Does the dentist do wisdom removal?
| Yes we do. Our dentists can do normal tooth extractions and wisdom tooth extractions. |

How to choose the right dental treatment
The right treatment depends on your symptoms, goals, oral health, budget, and timing. A patient with tooth pain may need a different appointment pathway from someone looking at whitening, clear aligners, or a protective bite plate. Family Dental Care focuses on assessing the concern first, explaining suitable options, and helping patients make informed decisions.
