About Us

This is what we can offer our patients:
  • Dental implants: This includes immediate and multi-stage implants, bone grafts and socket preservation techniques.
  • Orthognatic surgery (jaw operations): This includes correcting misaligned jaws and surgery after trauma or injury.
  • Oral surgery: This includes the removal of wisdom teeth, bone grafting to rebuild bone structure after bone loss, and the removal of tumours and cancerous lesions.
  • Conscious sedation: We offer conscious sedation to make procedures such as implants as comfortable and convenient as possible for patients.
  • Support services: This includes the services of a prosthodontist (crowns, bridgework, dentures, etc.) and periodontist (gum diseases, etc.).

Dr Swart’s private practice, which was established in 1995, is in the Louis Leipoldt Medical Centre in Bellville to the north of Cape Town.

Our facilities include a hospital-style operating suite where we perform procedures like implants and the removal of wisdom teeth under conscious sedation (outpatient basis). We use advanced dental and monitoring equipment and materials, and we apply additional measures to optimise sterility. For our patients, this saves time and costs, while adding convenience.

The inside of the practice has been designed by an interior decorator to offer a visually pleasing environment that is both beautiful and functional.
