  • What is Children’s Dentistry?

    • Children’s dentistry (also known as paediatric dentistry) focuses on the oral health of infants, toddlers, and young children. From the eruption of the first baby tooth to early cavity prevention, regular check-ups, fluoride treatments, and education on brushing habits are all part of building a foundation for lifelong dental health. At Innovative Dental Care, our team creates a warm and welcoming environment to make dental visits comfortable and fun for kids — while giving parents the support they need to maintain healthy routines at home.

  • What is Geriatric Dentistry?

    • Geriatric dentistry focuses on the oral health needs of older adults and senior patients, typically aged 60 and above. As we age, dental concerns can become more complex — from tooth loss, dry mouth, and gum disease, to managing dentures, implants, or chronic health conditions that affect oral health. At Innovative Dental Care, we provide gentle, personalised care for seniors, helping maintain comfort, function, and dignity. Our services include routine check-ups, restorative treatments, full and partial dentures, dental implants, and ongoing oral care support tailored to the specific needs of older patients.

      We are committed to ensuring that our senior patients in Midrand, Centurion, and Carletonville enjoy healthy, confident smiles at every stage of life. Learn more about our Geriatric Dentistry treatments for seniors, or book your consultation at one of our dental clinics today.

  • How do dental implants work, and who qualifies for them?

    • Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots, replacing one or more missing teeth. After the area has healed and the implant has integrated with the bone, a custom-made crown is attached to restore full function and appearance — giving you a durable, natural-looking smile. You may be a good candidate for dental implants if you have healthy gums, sufficient bone density, and no underlying health conditions that could interfere with healing. A full evaluation is done during your consultation to determine suitability.

      At Innovative Dental Care, we proudly offer dental implants at all our clinics, conveniently located in:

  • What is the difference between braces and other orthodontic treatments?

    • Braces are a traditional orthodontic solution that use metal brackets and wires to gradually straighten teeth. Other treatments, like clear aligners (e.g. Invisalign), offer a more discreet option but may not be suitable for complex cases. At Innovative Dental Care, we offer a full range of orthodontic solutions to suit every smile and lifestyle.

  • Is Innovative Dental Care Centre contracted in to Medical Aid?

    • We are contracted into most medical aids and charge medical aid rates for most of our procedures.  Please double-check with our friendly, efficient receptionist what is covered by your medical aid and whether you need to pay upfront and claim yourself or whether we can claim directly on your behalf.  Please remember that you remain liable for the account if your medical aid should reject the claim for any reason.  If you’re not sure, we suggest contacting your medical aid for prior approval.  If you are not a member of a medical aid, we still charge the lowest possible rates, if you can’t afford it, please talk to us about a payment option, we do everything we can to support our community and we’re here to help.
