Dr L Da Costa Dentist Bonteheuwel

Dr L Da Costa Dentist Bonteheuwel is committed to providing high-quality dental care to the community. With decades of experience, Dr Latiefa Da Costa has built a reputation for excellence in general and specialized dentistry.

A Passion for Dentistry and Patient Care

Dr Latiefa Da Costa began her academic journey with a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Cape Town. She later pursued a teacher’s diploma through UNISA while teaching at Alexander Sinton High School and Habibiya High School.

In 1988, she followed her passion for dentistry and enrolled at the University of the Western Cape. Despite the challenges of balancing studies and family life, she completed her degree and opened her first dental practice in 1991. Her dedication to patient care led her to expand her services, and in 2008, she established a second practice in Bonteheuwel.

Expanding Expertise for the Best Patient Care

Dr Da Costa continually enhances her skills to provide the best care possible. She spent five years training under an orthodontist to make orthodontic treatments more affordable for her patients. Additionally, she worked alongside a maxillofacial surgeon to refine her surgical expertise.

Her philosophy is to offer more than just dental care—she aims to restore confidence and promote oral health through a preventative rather than conservative approach.

State-of-the-Art Facilities and a Skilled Team

In 2010, Dr Da Costa upgraded her practice to incorporate the latest in dental technology. Today, her Salt River practice has grown to include three full-time dentists, an oral hygienist, and a dedicated support team.
