Our Grounding Philosophy:

Slow Dentistry

At SvL, we practice Slow Dentistry, which emphasises thorough, meticulous care. This philosophy ensures every procedure is done with precision, focusing on quality over speed. Slow Dentistry means we take the time to understand your needs, explain treatments thoroughly, and ensure the best possible outcomes.

01 Safety

At Smith and Van Lierop Dentistry, safety is our top priority. We ensure a sterile and clean environment for every patient, reducing the risk of infection and complications. Our meticulous hygiene protocols and state-of-the-art sterilisation technology guarantee that you receive the safest care possible.

02 Informed Consent

We believe in empowering our patients with knowledge. Before any treatment, we take the time to explain the procedure, its benefits, and any potential risks. This ensures you can make informed decisions about your dental care, feeling confident and comfortable with the choices you make.

03 Pain Management

Your comfort is essential to us. We prioritize proper anesthesia and pain management to ensure you have a stress-free and painless experience. Whether it's using numbing creams, anti-anxiety medication, or sedation, we tailor our approach to meet your individual needs and alleviate any discomfort.

04 Patient-Centered Care

Slow Dentistry is about more than just procedures; it's about the overall patient experience. We take the time to listen to your concerns, answer your questions, and tailor treatments to suit your specific needs. Our compassionate and empathetic approach ensures that you feel valued and cared for throughout your entire dental journey.
