FresherBreath is one of the most prominent dental clinics in Johannesburg. We love how they have 5 branches in different neighbourhoods in the city.

Many patients prefer their services because of accessibility. Ever since its establishment, Fresherbreath has served more than 50,000 patients, which we find impressive.

One of the things we like about this clinic is its avante-garde facilities. Their clinics are well-maintained and fully furnished with modern technology.

We also like that they offer a broad range of services for kids. Their list of procedures is divided into three aspects: teeth maintenance, repair, and straightening.

Clients find it convenient how FresherBreath offers all the necessities under one roof. It’s also a plus for us that they have recommended oral products available for purchase in-store.

Their rates for different dental procedures are available only upon enquiry. However, some clients found it confusing how they were given different price quotes for the same procedure from the doctor and the receptionist.

We’re also a bit iffy after hearing grumbles from previous patients about how they felt their appointments were rushed by the dentists. Some even encountered rude personnel, which can be discouraging for anxious children.

We hope FresherBreath can improve their clinic’s internal organisation and the overall ambience to provide a more inviting space, especially for young patients.

Midways Dental is one of Johannesburg’s most- and highest-rated dental clinics. They offer general dentistry, paediatric specialised dentistry, and aesthetic dentistry.

Particularly for paediatric dentistry, we love how Midways Dental developed a tailored dental treatment for children from infancy up until they’re old enough for general dentistry. 

Midways Dental is well-staffed with qualified dentists and highly-trained staff who are often complimented for rendering regular excellent service. 

Many of their patients, even adults, were really anxious about visiting dental clinics, but Midways Dental’s team was able to gently reassure them, which we think is a great asset when handling children.

Take note, though, the Midways Dental is one of the busiest dental clinics in the area, so you might want to book your appointment ahead of time. Thankfully, it’s really easy to reserve an appointment slot through their website.

Another feature we found notable is their 24/7 emergency servicing. The clinic has a special hotline for after-hours emergencies, which we commend.

However, superb quality of service is never free. We’re told Midways Dental’s rates are a little higher than their competitors’, but patients vouch for the calibre of care, which they feel is worth the investment.

Luckily, Midways Dental also offers deals and discounts from time to time, so make sure to check their website regularly to catch a great deal.

If you’re from around Bedfordview, you probably know of Dr. Zeenat Amod’s dental clinic. One of the reasons why they’re popular is because of their accessibility.

Their clinic is based in the Bedfordview Medi Suites. The area is spacious, secure, and has a wide parking bay, which clients appreciate.

Dr. Zeenat Amod’s clinic is also highly sought-after for its strong reputation. The clinic is led by Dr. Amod, who is a brilliant dentist with a wealth of experience of over a decade.

They offer several dental procedures under general, aesthetic, and paediatric dentistry. For paediatric care, they offer consultations and diagnostic services, preventive care, restorative care, and emergency care.

One thing we found remarkable about Dr. Zeenat Amod’s services is sleep dentistry. This is one of their attempts to overcome children’s anxiety and discomfort with dental care, which we think is an interesting approach.

The clinic also works hard to make its space comfortable for children, especially first-timers, and this is a big deal for us. 

Part of the clinic’s routine for newbies is to allow children to go around, touch and operate dental equipment, and just familiarise themselves with the environment to get rid of any anxiety.

We also think it’s awesome that Dr. Zeenat Amod’s clinic is partnered with several medical aids to help patients with the costs of their dental procedures.

However, a number of parents were disappointed after they felt like their children’s appointment was rushed. We’re told the doctor seemed to be in a hurry and was cutting their time short, which felt a bit off.

Also, there are several minor complaints about the attitude of the clinic’s receptionist when attending to patients. It’s disappointing to hear that their staff can be snotty and cold, too.

Molar Bear Dental is an up-and-coming and multifaceted dental clinic located in the suburb of Melville.

The first thing we like about them is their versatility. Molar Bear Dental specialises in all aspects of dentistry and accommodates all patients regardless of age, which is convenient for families looking to share a doctor.

We love that it’s one of Molar Bear Dental’s missions to provide a wide array of high-standard dental care to all patients at an affordable cost. 

Molar Bear Dental offers procedures under family and general dentistry, surgical dentistry and interventions, orthodontics, anaesthesia and anxiety, restorative dentistry, and emergency dental treatment.

We value their dedication to keeping up with what’s new and proven. Molar Bear Dental’s clinic is equipped with top-notch medical equipment.

The whole place is also well-kept and comfortable. It’s also quite spacious, which is great as it can get really busy in Molar Bear Dental clinic.

The clinic is run by Dr. Mohammed Zameer Peer, a young but skilled and well-educated dental practitioner. He’s frequently praised by his patients for his professionalism and great people skills.

A lot of patients who were hesitant to visit a doctor for simple checkups because of anxiety were relieved to have found Dr. Peer. We’re told he’s really great with children, too!

Their schedule is pretty freed up primarily because they have longer operational hours than other clinics, which we love. We would’ve preferred if setting an appointment with the clinic can be done online through their website, though. 

Your Family Dentist is another popular choice for those looking for a paediatric dentist for their youngsters. One of their biggest assets is they offer a wide array of dental services for the whole family.

The clinic is run by an esteemed and experienced dentist, Dr. Fareea Mohamed, who specialises in general, restorative, aesthetic, and paediatric dentistry. Dr. Mohamed is also admired for being great with children.

We like that Your Family Dentist uses the latest dental equipment and adopts the most recent dental techniques scientifically proven to improve dental care. Our favourite feature, though, is the clinic’s welcoming environment for children.

Dr. Mohamed and her staff understand children’s anxiety when it comes to visiting doctors. They’re all educated and trained on how to create a warm and safe space for all patients, which we highly commend.

The team at Your Family Dentist is also applauded for their excellent bedside manners. Many patients are impressed with the seamless processes and attentive aftercare.

Our only issue is their faulty online appointment setting system. There are several complaints from prospective patients about how their bookings don’t push through or don’t reflect on the clinic’s system.
