About us
Are you looking for child focussed 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,
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.
Does your child have skew teeth? Have you been told to wait until all the permanent teeth are in the mouth before starting with braces (orthodontic treatment) or that your child needs to have healthy teeth pulled to make more space? In most cases it is beneficial to start early (interceptive) orthodontic treatment from as early as 7 or 8 years, but it is also very effective at a later age.
This early treatment reduces the likelihood of extracting permanent teeth and jaw operations later in life.
It is a cost effective and very conservative way of providing your child with a beautiful, confident smile!
Come play at the dentist with a jungle-gym, playstation, dvd's and lots more! Contact us at 0218519712 / 0792233106 or email at info@dinodent.co.za.

Chantelle L. asked:Good day, I am looking for a good child friendly dentist, preferably a female, she must be friendly and gentle, as it will be my one daughter's first visit. I see Dr Palanyadi comes well recommended, according to previous posts. Is she good with the kids as well, and are her rates reasonable? Just got a quote for a child dentist in S.west, and almost fell out of my chair! :)Jeanne B. replied:www.dinodent.co.za

Michelle G. asked:Does anybody know of a dentist in Somerset West or Strand that is good with children,my daughter of 8 has abcess because the new tooth is ready to come out and the old one still sticking.Please let me know.ThanxAmanda M. replied:Looking for a DENTIST that ONLY TREATS CHILDREN in Somerset West??? DinoDent and Dr Amanda Marais is OPENING SOON! I have a masters in Paediatric dentistry and a diploma in orthodontics (braces) and I will be opening either mid January or the beginning of February. I love children and as a mother, I know how frightening it can be going to the dentist. I am importing a Dinosaur dental chair (see example below) that has a DVD player and an octopus that hides the instruments!! I am working on a website and will post it as soon as it is ready. No more ugly syringe injections, as I will use a "Dental Wand" that looks like a pen that is much less painful and daunting for both parent and child.
