In the age of ‘looksmaxxing’, 10-step skincare routines and AI-curated workout regimens, we’ve adopted a global obsession with aesthetics. Yet, one of the most important parts of our appearance — that affects not only aesthetics, but health as well — is overlooked: our teeth.
While slapping a whitening filter on your profile photo may create the illusion of good oral hygiene, this type of tech cannot provide any tangible rehabilitation for your teeth. That said, recently developed technology does exist that not only enhances the appearance of your smile, but also advances your oral health — and it exists right here, in South Africa.
Digital Smile Design
Tucked into the heart of Cape Town, just a short drive from the V&A Waterfront, Enamel Clinic has quickly become one of South Africa’s most talked-about dental destinations. Being the first and only certified Digital Smile Design (DSD) clinic in Africa, Enamel Clinic has made revolutionary medical technology accessible locally.
DSD is a smile-planning technology that uses 3D scans of your teeth and face to design a smile that is specifically curated to best fit your appearance and cater to your oral health. The smile architects at Enamel Clinic ensure that their patients are involved during every step of the process — allowing patients to provide in-depth input and test drive their smile before commitment.
The expert team at Enamel Clinic
While Enamel Clinic has earned great renown for Digital Smile Design, its services extend far beyond aesthetics. Their accomplished team provide general dentistry, aesthetic dentistry, hygiene treatments and long-term dental treatments.
The team includes experts in implantology, endodontics, biomimetics for dentistry and periodontics. One such expert is periodontist Howard Gluckman, who, in an exclusive interview with Ace Radio, highlighted how expert knowledge plays a central role at Enamel Clinic.
Howard Gluckman, specialist periodontist at Enamel Clinic, lecturer and co-founder of the Implant and Aesthetic Academy, joined Ace Radio to discuss the team structure at Enamel Clinic. Gluckman emphasised the role that careful, thoughtful selection of practitioners plays in the clinic’s overall processes.
Gluckman explained that Enamel Clinic has formed a rare multi-disciplinary group under one roof. In this way, complex, full-mouth rehabilitations that would normally require referrals to half a dozen specialists can be planned and executed in-house with seamless coordination.
When questioned why he chose to use his expertise in Cape Town, Gluckman expressed his belief in uplifting South Africa by using his skills to benefit local communities and economies. This local-first perspective is seemingly reflected across multiple areas of Enamel Clinic as they bring world-class technology to the Mother City.
