I highly recommend this dental clinicCharles, UK, 07 01 25

The experience was truly wonderful, from the warm and welcoming receptionist, to the very knowledgeable dentist, who before examining my teeth took time to enquire as to my expectations. After examining my teeth he then carefully explained what he had discovered, before giving me a number of treatment options. I highly recommend this dental clinic!

It really was a pleasant & painless experienceLeeAnne, South Africa, 21 07 23

I had my wisdom tooth extracted yesterday, and believe me when I say I was nervous and anxious as I haven't had a dental procedure done in years. Dr Moosa & Dr Ismail & team made me feel so much at ease. Dr Ismail is amazing at what he does the way he explains everything and talks one through the process. Before I knew it my tooth was out and I didn't feel a thing, I couldn't believe it. It really was a pleasant & painless experience. Thank you Dr Moosa & Dr Ismail & team for what you have done for me. I'll never forget it...you guys are truly amazing.

A very understanding and accommodating dental surgeonDAVID, South Africa, 27 07 20

To date, all my consultations for dental implants went well. I have had 3 extractions of which one was invasive dental surgery owing to a broken tooth that had to be removed. Other preparatory procedures have been done to my upper jaw. Dr Huson with over 30 yrs experience was my best choice. A very understanding and accommodating dental surgeon. I did after my first consult decides to look at alternatives but I was grateful to Christina who contacted me to assure me that Dr. Huson will look at the plan to see how best he can address my concerns and not long I was back to begin surgery. The dental clinic has wonderful people like Christina, Sarah and Marguerite to care and facilitate the proceedings for every visit. I am confident that when Dr Huson is finished that my goals would have been reached. Thank you dr, and staff at Silver Oaks Clinic.
