# Patient information & FAQ

Practical information for patients of Singh Advanced Dentistry, The Capital Hotel at 15 On Orange, Gardens, Cape Town.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does laser dentistry hurt?

Many patients find laser treatment comfortable. Some procedures need less anaesthetic, and we'll explain what to expect for your treatment.

### What happens at a first consultation?

A digital assessment with 3D scanning and radiography, then a conversation about your goals. You leave with a personalised plan and time to decide.

### Is parking available at 15 On Orange?

Yes. The hotel has secure underground parking, and paid street parking is available on Grey's Pass and around Gardens.

### How long does teeth whitening last?

Results from professional in-chair whitening commonly last around 12 to 24 months, depending on diet and care. Limiting staining foods and drinks and using recommended touch-up products can help.

### Do you see children?

Yes. We see children and aim to keep visits calm and relaxed, so dental appointments feel positive from the first visit.

### How long do veneers last?

With good care, porcelain veneers often last 10 to 20 years. We give you full guidance on looking after them.

### Do you see international patients?

Yes. We see visitors to Cape Town and can often accommodate short-notice bookings.

### Do you accept medical aid?

We're a private practice for self-funded and medical aid patients, and we help you claim back from your medical aid.

### What if I'm nervous about the dentist?

Let us know when you book. We take time to explain each step, and options such as laser treatment and computer-controlled anaesthetic mean many patients feel less discomfort.
