How to send your question to our clinic team

If you are not sure which treatment you need, or you want clarity before booking, send us a message at our contact form. Keep it simple and tell us what is bothering you, how long it has been going on, and whether you want help for yourself or a family member. We use that information to guide you to the right next step, whether that is a consult, an emergency visit or a specialist assessment.

For the quickest reply, include your name, mobile number and your area in Johannesburg. Patients from Sandton, Bryanston, Rivonia, Morningside, Fourways and Rosebank are all welcome to ask through the same channel. If your query is urgent, mention that clearly in the first line so the team can treat it with priority.

What our team can help with before you book

Our support team can help you understand which service fits your situation before you come in. Some questions need a new patient consult, while others are better suited to emergency dentistry, preventive care or orthodontic assessments. If you are asking about a smile improvement plan, we can direct you to cosmetic consulting or implant planning as needed.

We also answer practical questions about sedation options, aftercare follow-ups and payment guidance. If you have a busy diary, work in the Sandton area or are travelling in from nearby suburbs, let us know what time of day suits you best and we will advise on the next available step.

What to include when you ask about treatment

The more detail you give, the better we can guide you. A short photo can help if you have a chipped tooth, swelling or a broken appliance, but only send images if you are comfortable. If you are asking about pain, tell us whether it is sharp, throbbing or only when you chew. That helps the team decide if you need same-day attention.

If your question is about a child, mention their age and whether the issue started after a fall, sport or a loose milk tooth. For adults, note any medical conditions, pregnancy, allergies or medication use where relevant. These details help us suggest the right appointment type and avoid delays later on.

What happens after you message us

Once your message reaches the clinic, a team member reviews it and sends direction based on the issue. In some cases we will suggest a consult, in others we may advise emergency care or a more detailed assessment with the right clinician. Our aim is to give you clear next steps without making the process confusing.

You may hear from a practice manager, imaging coordinator or one of our clinicians depending on the nature of the question. Dr Sibusiso Mthembu and the team work with a practical approach, so you can expect straightforward advice and a plan that suits your needs. If you need follow-up guidance after treatment, you can use the same contact point.

Questions we hear from Sandton patients most often

Many patients contact us before they book because they want to know if they need treatment straight away or if it can wait. Others ask whether cosmetic dentistry, implant work or orthodontic care is suitable for their age and budget. We are happy to help with those questions and point you in the right direction.

People also ask about discomfort during treatment, recovery time after procedures and how long they should expect to be in the chair. If you have been delaying care because of work meetings, school runs or traffic around Sandton and Fourways, tell us and we will try to guide you toward a practical appointment. Small details can make the whole process easier, even if you are only starting with a question.
