Make a trip to the dentist FUN

Are you looking for a child focused dentist or someone to provide braces for your child? Then DinoDent is the right dental practice 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.

Come play at the dentist with a jungle-gym, playstation, dvd's and lots more!

"We live more than 30 min away from the practice, but would make the trip 10 times over for the amazing service provided by Dr Marais and her team. The facility is great and with cute kiddy aesthetics. My son is 5 months and required a lip and tongue tie release procedure to be done. So many other providers said they won’t be able to do it for us without general anaesthesia. Dr Marais went the extra mile to make it happen and we are so grateful! Highly recommend!"

"Dr. Amanda and her team are absolute champions and super professional. From the first moment we stepped into the practice Amanda and her team made my kids feel at ease and treated us with the utmost respect. What a pleasure to be part of the Dino Dent family. To Amanda and her team: thank you so much, you are amazing. To parents out there: If you looking for someone that is professional, someone that will walk the extra mile and treat you and your children with respect, well, I recommend Dino Dent without a doubt!!"

"Highly recommend Dr Marais for early intervention orthodontic treatment. Vicki’s had first phase treatment with 100% success after 11 months. What a lovely addition having a therapy dog at the practice."

"The Dinodent team was amazing with my very anxious 4yr old who had a bad experience with her previous dentist for a 1st appointment. She was petrified of the dentist after her first appointment. They made her feel so much better about going to the dentist and is no longer as afraid of the dentist. We will definitely make use of them again. Thank you so much Dinodent team!!"

"Well I firstly think the name of the practice should be Angel in Disguise.... When it comes to difficult cases with regards to teeth, my daughter rated way up in the most complex of problems. We have been with Dr Amanda for three years now. We have been blown away by the genuine care of every single staff member at the practice. From the rainbow of smiles and sunshine that greet you at reception. Leading into a beautiful and state of the art practice. Which is an incredible testimony to the amazing work being done. Dr Amanda goes out of her way to make sure your child is feeling comfortable and safe. No one really likes the trip to the dentist... But with a Team like this it makes it a more pleasurable trip. Thank you very much for all you have done for us."

"We called DinoDent very desperately as our 2 month old boy had a very bad tongue tie. We drove all the way from Malmesbury to Somerset West and what a great reception! While screening they discovered there was a slight lip tie as well, the procedure was so so quick and the immediate result was just amazing! Our boy is now feeding without any problems and breastfeeding is also a lot less painful for mommy. Thank you so much DinoDent and Dr Amanda for assisting us in the most friendly and professional manner."
