DR. CORNEL DE KLERK

It’s a privilege to be part of the incredible I Love My Smile team as a general dentist. After graduating from the University of Pretoria in 2014, I pursued advanced courses in aesthetics and completed a post-graduate program in oral implantology in 2017.

 

Surgery is my true passion, and I’m always seeking ways to grow and refine my skills in this area. When I’m not helping patients achieve their healthiest smiles, you’ll find me outdoors enjoying nature or spending quality time with my four beloved dogs—life’s best companions!

Dr. THEO VENTER

For Dr Theo, dentistry is about more than teeth — it’s about solving problems and helping people feel better. He enjoys the full scope of general dentistry, from routine fillings to more complex treatments like root canals, with a special interest in oral surgery and cosmetic dentistry.

 

He is passionate about helping patients understand their oral health and clearing up common misconceptions — especially the belief that dental problems can heal on their own. His approach is simple: identify the problem early and focus on the right solution.

 

Dr Theo also understands that many patients feel anxious or may have avoided the dentist for some time. His calm, non-judgemental approach helps patients feel at ease and supported from the moment they walk in.

With his practical mindset and focus on patient care, Dr Theo is committed to helping every patient feel comfortable, confident, and well cared for.

WHAT DOES A GENERAL DENTIST DO?

General dentists are the foundation of excellent oral health. They diagnose, treat, and manage a wide range of dental needs to ensure optimal health and a beautiful smile.

 

Key responsibilities include:

  • Removing tooth decay and filling cavities.
  • Repairing fractures to restore teeth to their natural form.
  • Performing extractions when necessary.
  • Developing personalized care plans to maintain and enhance oral health.

 

General dentists also offer expert advice on oral hygiene practices, dental products, and lifestyle habits that promote long-term dental wellness. Regular visits to a general dentist ensure your smile stays healthy and radiant.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We recommend bringing your child for their first dental check-up as soon as they have a full set of front teeth—typically the two front upper and lower teeth. Annual visits from age 1 onward are ideal, increasing in frequency as they grow.

If the tooth is clean, try placing it back into the socket immediately!

  • Hold the tooth by the crown (not the root).
  • Firmly press it back into place and bite down on a clean handkerchief for 15–20 minutes.
  • Ideally, see a dentist within 30 minutes for the best chance of saving the tooth.
Bruxism is the involuntary grinding or clenching of teeth, often during sleep. Many people aren’t aware they’re doing it. Ask your dentist for signs of bruxism and solutions to protect your teeth.
