  • What if we could help you stop the natural ageing process? Would that be something you’d like our help with?
  • What do you value most about your teeth?
  • If we happened to come across some things that might keep you from maintaining the current health of your teeth, how soon would you want to do something about it?
  • What if we could get your teeth into a state of health that will keep you from having to worry about dentistry in your retirement years?

Benefit From A Sound Foundation

Teeth are supported by the gums and bone. They are intimately related.

This practice offers a unique holistic  service by having a prosthodontist and resident periodontist work hand-in-hand in the same office.

  • Dear Dr Kaplan How fortunate I was in being referred to you by a family member! Having just gone though a failed implant treatment which left me with an uncomfortable and unsightly partial denture, I was not looking forward to trying to find a good, reputable dentist to continue treatment. Well, my prayers were heard and I found you – the best ever dentist and a wonderful person. Words cannot really express my delight and satisfaction, but I have attempted to by writing the attached ‘little ode’ in honour of you. Dr Kaplan, “Thank You!” from the top and the bottom of my heart and I am truly grateful and honoured to be a patient of yours. Best regards Gail

    Gail

  • I would like to thank you for the consideration you have shown me in respect of my dental treatment. I would like to thank you also for your most professional attention and for the meticulous care which you put into my treatment. I am very happy with the work and believe that nobody could have done it any better.

    Professor CBP

  • It has been a long but positive procedure. Have been treated by the best !!! Would not hesitate to recommend Dr K to all. Will miss his wonderful approach to life in general. Thank you just doesn’t say enough for all you have done. Best regards.

    TS

  • From day one I was given 100% confidence that the job could be done efficiently. After waiting 9 years and not needing to have bone graft done, I have gone ahead with treatment. The whole procedure has taken around 15 months, but certainly worth waiting for. Dr Kaplan and all their team have done a fantastic job and I have full confidence in recommending them to my friends. Thanks a million.

    JK

  • HI Doctor, They are going well, i have a follow up after my first month next week. Thank you so much for the follow up, i have been so happy with your service. Regards

    Justine

  • How fortunate that I was referred to you, your talented hands and vision – I felt relaxed and confident that in the end, the prolonged treatment would result in excellent reconstruction and it was. I now have such good teeth, all thanks to your fantastic work! Many thanks again. With my best wishes.
