Welcome
Modern dentistry, built on long-term relationships

Our differentiator
Same-Day CEREC Crowns & Bridges
Traditional crowns often involve external laboratory production and a waiting period. Our CEREC CAD/CAM system allows certain crowns and bridges to be digitally designed and manufactured chairside — reducing the wait between appointments in suitable cases.
- Digital workflow with intraoral scanning
- Chairside manufacturing of ceramic restorations
- Reduced waiting between appointments in suitable cases
- Modern, precise restorative dentistry

Our Story
Experience without feeling outdated
Leon Philip Botha qualified at the University of Pretoria in 2001, completed community service in King Williams Town and East London, and spent time aboard the Phelophepa Health Train before joining this East London practice at the end of 2003. He purchased the practice from Dr Cornelius in 2007 and worked alongside Dr Crouse for around fourteen years until Dr Crouse retired at the end of 2022.
Since then, the practice has continued investing in digital dentistry — CEREC CAD/CAM, CBCT 3D imaging, intraoral scanning and diode laser technology. Leon has worked with his assistant Belinda since 2003, building long-term relationships with patients across the region.
