A practice area that crosses suburb lines

Suburb boundaries mean little for dental care in this part of Johannesburg: patients commonly travel a few kilometres to the practice they choose, and practices here commonly list several neighbouring suburbs as their service area.

Melrose itself is a small, mostly residential suburb beside the M1, known mainly for the Melrose Arch mixed-use precinct.

Choosing where to be treated

Because practices in Melrose, Rosebank and Sandton are all close together, the choice of where to be assessed is rarely about distance alone. Consider who will carry out each stage, how the practice communicates between visits, and whether you can get to the practice easily on the days you are not able to drive.

It is reasonable to ask for a written treatment plan and to take time to consider it. If you have a regular dentist, they can help you understand the plan, even if they will not be doing the treatment.

The next step is an assessment by a dentist

Only a dentist who examines you, with X-rays or a scan, can say whether an implant is suitable and what it would involve. Start with your own dentist. If you do not have one, read what an implant assessment covers and what to take with you.
