I had a really great experience with Dr Damstra and his team. Even though I didn’t have any major work done, I left feeling very impressed and confident in the care I received. Dr Damstra was incredibly helpful and transparent about pricing, and I really appreciated that he focused on what would be the best option for me, rather than trying to upsell anything unnecessary. It felt very genuine and patient-first. His team was also lovely, and everything ran smoothly. I would highly recommend Dr Damstra to anyone looking for an orthodontist in Cape Town.

As a mom, I couldn’t be happier with the care my child has received at Damstra Orthodontics. From our very first visit, the team made us feel completely at ease. When doing Adam’s clinical records, they explained every step of the process clearly and made sure he was comfortable throughout. After the 3D scan was done they showed us what Adam’s smile would look like after the aligners and answered any questions we had about the treatment process. Dr Damstra is absolutely wonderful! He answered all the questions I had regarding Adam’s treatment, making sure we understand the process, as well as the instructions that go along with the aligners. The staff are professional, gentle, and so friendly! When you walk in the receptionist immediately greets you with the biggest smile making you feel welcome. Knowing what the result will look like after the aligners we are so excited to start this journey with Damstra Orthodontics. I would highly recommend Dr Damstra to any parent looking for a team that truly goes above and beyond.
