Leader in Cape Town dental care now at a third location
With JJS Dentistry now operating in the V&A Waterfront, Durbanville and Stellenbosch, they offer more convenience for your state-of-the-art dentistry work.
JJS Dentistry is redefining dental care across Cape Town — it's where clinical excellence meets comfort, and where both your smile and overall health are given the attention they deserve.
With three elegant practices now open in Waterfront, Durbanville, and Stellenbosch, JJS Dentistry is more accessible than ever. Patients can expect an experience that's a far cry from the cold, clinical visits of the past. Each space is designed with luxury, warmth, and minimalism in mind, creating an environment that's as calming as it is cutting-edge.
At the heart of JJS Dentistry is Dr JJ Serfontein, a leader in cosmetic and general dentistry, known for creating natural, bespoke smiles that restore both beauty and function. A member of prestigious organisations such as the South African Academy of Aesthetic Dentistry (SAAAD) and the International Team for Implantology (ITI), Dr Serfontein believes in combining innovation with empathy. 'The smiles I create are both functional and beautiful,' he says. 'With modern digital workflows and the highest-grade materials, every treatment is planned with precision and care.'
From same-day crowns and veneers using digital dentistry to pain-free professional cleanings and advanced orthodontic solutions, JJS Dentistry's approach focuses on minimally invasive care that values the patient's time, comfort, and individuality.
What truly sets JJS Dentistry apart is the way each location mirrors a vision: dental care that feels more like a luxury experience than a medical appointment — complete with Netflix at the chair, soothing décor, and a team trained in reducing anxiety and enhancing care outcomes. But JJS Dentistry goes far beyond aesthetics, and this is where their oral hygiene team steps in.

Oral and overall health with microbiome testing
Each of the three branches is home to expert oral hygienists who play a vital role in preventive care and patient education. Using advanced techniques like air polishing with warm water and flavoured powders, cleanings are now gentler, more sensory-friendly, and more thorough than ever.
Most notably, JJS Dentistry offers oral microbiome testing — a powerful diagnostic tool that screens for harmful bacteria such as Porphyromonas gingivalis. This pathogen isn't just a leading cause of gum disease and tooth loss — it's also been linked to serious systemic conditions, including Alzheimer's, cardiovascular disease, and colon cancer.
This unique integration of cosmetic excellence and medical-grade diagnostics means patients receive not just a more confident smile, but a healthier future, too.
Whether you're transforming your smile or taking control of your oral health, JJS Dentistry welcomes you to a dental journey that is innovative, luxurious, and always personalised.
To see some of the work they do, have a look at their Facebook and Instagram feeds – you'll be blown away by the brand new smiles they produce.

Bacteria in your mouth might reveal how depressed you are, scientists say
Depression could be linked to a lack of diversity in the bacteria in your mouth, according to new research. As you read this, your mouth contains between 500 billion and 1 trillion bacteria. After the gut microbiome, the orifice is the second-largest community of microorganisms in human bodies. Now, researchers at New York University say the makeup of those microbes could be used to help diagnose and treat depression. In a new study, they found that less diversity of microbes in the mouth is associated with the mental health condition. 'It's possible that the oral microbiome influences depressive symptoms through inflammation or changes to the immune system. Conversely, depression can drive changes including dietary intake, poor oral hygiene, increased smoking and drinking, or the use of medications—all of which have the potential to alter the oral microbiome,' Dr. Bei Wu, vice dean for research at NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing, said in a statement. 'We need more research to understand the direction and underlying pathways of this relationship.' Wu is the senior author of the study, which was published this week in the journal BMC Oral Health. To reach these conclusions, the authors examined data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. They used questionnaire data from more than 15,000 adults collected between 2009 and 2012 to compare symptoms of depression with saliva samples. They also used gene sequencing to identify the microbes in the saliva and measure the diversity of the oral microbiome. That's how they found that people with less microbial diversity were more likely to have symptoms of depression. Additional analysis revealed that practices including smoking, drinking, and dental care influenced the relationship between the oral microbiome and depression. They can all change the makeup of bacteria in the mouth. They noted that antidepressants and other psychotropic medications have side effects that can lead to reduced saliva and alter the oral microenvironment. 'Thus, medications not only alleviate depressive symptoms but also have a regulatory effect on oral health,' they said. Still, it remains unclear whether the diversity of microbes in the mouth influences depression, if depression leads to changes in the oral microbiome, or if there's a symbiotic relationship. They noted that a recent study found a potential link between depression and the diversity of bacteria in the gut, and that a growing body of research points to a connection between the oral microbiome and overall health. That's thought to be driven by inflammation and disruptions to the immune system. They hope these findings will support a greater understanding of the issue. In 2021, an estimated 21 million adults had at least one major depressive episode in the past year. 'Having a better understanding of the relationship between the oral microbiome and depression could not only help us learn about the mechanisms underlying depression, but could contribute to the development of new biomarkers or treatments for mood disorders,' said Wu.

Yeovil dental hygienist named finalist for Ms Great Britain 2025
A dental hygienist from Yeovil has been named a finalist for the 2025 Ms Great Britain competition. Rafina O'Brien is using her platform to advocate for oral health, support charitable causes, and highlight the Somerset community. Her 'When She Smiles' campaign centres on women's oral health, a frequently neglected issue. She raises awareness of how hormonal changes during puberty, pregnancy, and menopause can harm gum and bone health, potentially resulting in severe consequences like low birth weight and premature birth. Ms O'Brien aims to educate women about the importance of taking charge of their dental health through community discussions and online initiatives. She said: "I believe oral health is about much more than just teeth. "It's about confidence, wellbeing, dignity, and overall health — and everyone deserves access to that, no matter their background." She also works with Dentaid, a charity that operates mobile dental units and clinics for people experiencing homelessness. Ms O'Brien volunteers at these clinics, teaches oral hygiene practices to schools and community groups, and organises fundraising events, such as recently completing three ultra-marathons in three months. She also served as the first dental hygienist on the world tour of HMS Queen Elizabeth in 2021, as seen in the BBC documentary, The Warship: Tour of Duty.

The Lead: Wouter Basson vs HPCSA round two, with Tammy Petersen
The Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) continues in 2025 to push for some form of historical accountability from 'Dr Death' Wouter Basson's involvement in the apartheid government's secret chemical and biological warfare programme, 'Project Coast'. But as News24's Cape Town journalist Tammy Petersen reports in this edition of The Lead, the Durbanville-based cardiologist has, at the age of 74, turned to the High Court to get the HPCSA off his back once and for all: 'Dr Basson argues in his court papers that this new bid by the HPCSA is nothing but persecution,' says Petersen. Later in the show, we learn that a former Transnet official is wanted by the police for the mistaken hit on a Vereeniging engineer whose company blew the whistle on procurement corruption. Finally, attorneys for disgraced R&B singer R Kelly claim he's in danger behind bars and argue that he should be put under house arrest. Listen on YouTube: Listen on Apple Podcasts:
