Patient Care and Treatment

At Dr Smit’s practice, patient care remains a priority. During the first consultation, she develops a personalised treatment plan based on each patient’s needs. The consultation also helps patients understand their recommended procedure and treatment options. Patients under 18 must attend with a parent or guardian.

Advanced Equipment and Sedation

The practice uses the Planmecca Mid 20 x 20cm CBCT, a 3D X-ray unit with full implant and orthognathic planning capabilities. As a result, the system supports quick and accurate diagnosis with low radiation exposure.

The practice also has an in-house sedation and recovery room. This can reduce hospital admission costs for minor surgical procedures. Level one and level two sedation options are available, depending on individual health conditions. Dr Smit will discuss suitable options during the consultation.

Patients can also find expert advice on Wisdom Teeth Removal, Lip and Tongue Ties, PRF and PRP, and Orthognathic Surgery on the practice’s website. Book a consultation to discuss your needs and begin your treatment journey.
