Cape Town Smile Studios

Integrating dental health and wellness

At Cape Town SmileStudios (CTSS) we posses a great love and respect for human life and its' sanctity therein. When we committed ourselves to the practice of dentistry, little did we know the magnitude of such a commitment!

Dentists are not seen as just tooth doctors from our prospective, but rather as doctors who specialize in the science of head and neck health, as well as, and most importantly, the integrity of our patients’ oral health.

All parts of the body coexist with one another resulting in a magnificent specimen of superior life form that performs eloquently and recovers remarkably. The health of the oral cavity is mandatory and in direct correlation to the performance of the body as a whole as it relates to the physical strength of the body, as well as the nutritional and emotional balance.

in·te·gra·tive med·i·cine : Integrative Medicine seeks, through a partnership of patient and practitioner, to treat the whole person (body, mind, spirit and environment), to assist the innate healing properties of each patient, and to promote health and wellness as well as the treatment and prevention of disease.

The health of the oral cavity is equally important to the integrity of the immune system as well as the circulatory system. And perhaps, most importantly to the patient, it's correlation to the aesthetics or appearance of the patient.

If you don't believe this statement, consider this:

• if you don't eat you begin to feel weak ...and  you don't feel good;
• if your teeth are reeeaaallly ugly, you don't feel good about yourself...and you don't feel good;
• if your mouth is diseased it affects you systemically (circulatory and lymph system)...and you don't feel good;
• when you don't feel good, it can affect you emotionally, thereby affecting those around you,...and then you don't feel good because they don't feel good about you!

Our philosophy

A healthy mouth creates a healthy smile and a healthy smile reveals a healthier, happier you! After all, that's what this is all about, isn't it?

We believe that cultivating one's own inner beauty is the most important key to experiencing happiness and wellness in life.  However, we also recognize that our external image affects how we interact with others and how others respond to us in our everyday life. It is this understanding that motivates us to be who we are and do what we do at CTSS.

How do we achieve this?

Not only do we constantly evaluate the health of the gums and the bone surrounding the teeth, but also the health of the body. Numerous times we have found the link between dis-ease in the body and dis-ease in the corresponding tooth. 

Our treatment regime includes the SAFE removal of mercury amalgam fillings, the use of biocompatible materials (e.g. ozone) when performing root canal treatments and the use of metal free fillings.

Our commitment to you:
•    To guide you along a path of optimal health, wellness and vitality.
•    To always pursue excellence through continuing education and growth.
•    To treat you as a unique individuals and truly listen to your concerns.
•    To learn from everyone we meet.
•    To encourage you to own and control your own wellness
•    To act as a wellspring of total health information. What we don't know we will find out.
