Fantastic experience and so happy with the results. I had fast braces fitted by Stephan and his team who have been brilliant throughout - professional, always courteous and great at what they do. Couldn't recommend highly enough!

Honestly the kindest reception received, clearest professional advice and care given. Tasnea was fantastic from on the phone to in person, and I received patient and exceptional treatment from Monica. Can't recommend this practice enough!

Dr Stephan van Vuuren truly crafts orthodontic artistry. I'm so pleased with the results after 5 months of fastbraces treatment, I can hardly recognise myself! It was the best decision and couldn't have timed it better. Easy, efficient, affordable without much pain at all. Highly recommend IGDP and Dr Stephan if you're after that perfect smile!

I cannot stop smiling having just had my braces removed after about 5 months as I have the straight teeth I've always dreamed of. Dr Stefan and the team are wonderful! Treatment is definitely great value for money. The service is highly professional, friendly and very reassuring. Smooth appointments (from booking through to attending) every 2 weeks despite covid restrictions.

And it wasn't as painful as I had feared. Stefan outlined the process, explained at each appointment what I could expect to experience after the adjustment and it was all exactly and described. Highly recommend!

I've just finished my fastbraces treatment with Dr. Stephan Van Vuuren which I am really pleased with! Stephan and his team made me feel very comfortable from the start and I have felt well overseen with the fortnightly check-ups. After having orthodontic work as a teenager (and not wearing the retainers), I was pleasantly surprised to see how technology has moved forward over the last 20 years, how quickly results were seen and now have a number of friends considering this approach, after the fantastic and quick results seen in my experience!

I have put off going to the dentist for a number of years - but given how at ease I've felt during the whole orthodontic experience, I plan to make this my regular dental practise as I believe they are truly invested in my dental care and future! For anyone with a similar irrational fear of dentists as me, I definitively recommend you give them a try. You will not regret it!

Had a root canal operation by Dr Rory Mac Sweeney, who was very professional and methodical in his approach. Two days later and I am suffering no more pain. Highly recommended.

I did my treatment with Dr. Stephan (Orthodontics), Dr. Jose (Surgery) and their Nurse team, visiting the clinic frequently (fastening braces every 2 weeks) for a year and I am VERY happy with the results, my teeth are straight, back in place, my bite is strong again and I get compliments from friends and colleagues all the time! Never waited to start my appointments, every time I got there Dr. Stephan was ready waiting for me, in fact if was early we'd start earlier!

And appointments never overrun too - this was a blessing helping me on occasions I had to go over to the clinic at lunch time. Get in, get out, get lost every time, with no issues post-appointment whatsoever! I can't believe I am saying this but now, 4 months having finished my treatment and removing the braces, I actually miss going over and being received by friendly people and being treated by honest, caring and knowledgeable professionals. Thanks a lot everyone at IGDP, specially to Dr. Stephan for putting up with my grumpiness when I had a little pain here and there.

I started the fast braces after a friend recommended Stephan - Friendly, thorough and pain free. I am so happy with the results - My teeth are straight and my gums are now healthy! I only had my braces on for 5 and a half months. I tried several places before going to IGDP and I have now switched to seeing Stephan as my new permanent dentist. I would recommend to anyone. Five star!

Excellent customer service. I missed my appointment due to me getting the date mixed up and spoke to the practise manager Pina, who was very professional, helpful & wanting to help. Thanks to Pina a new appointment has been booked for me, and it was a breath of fresh air speaking with Pina. Excellent.

I recently had my fastbraces taken off after 9 months and I had a follow up appointment with the hygienist. The feedback I got from my friends and family have been uplifting. Dr Stephen was amazing. He's a perfectionist that is straight forward, friendly and professional. The staff are wonderful and welcoming, but most importantly the results are 100% guaranteed. I strongly recommend Dr Stephen and the IGDP team.

My business partner recommended the IGDP dental practice to me just less than a year ago - In particular Stephan, the principal dentist. I needed some routine work on my teeth which was straight forward and well taken care of but ultimately I wanted to have my teeth straightened with the help of braces. Stephan recommended Turbo Braces which certainly seems to have been the way forward.

It was estimated that the entire treatment would take between 9 and 12 months, however much to my delight Stephan removed my braces just on 6 months down the line. Not only am I thrilled with my new smile but also I can't recommend Stephan enough. He is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and most of an excellent orthodontist. Thanks for everything Stephan and see you soon.

Finished my Fastbraces treatment with Stephan and the team this morning and I am simply over the moon with the results. I have to praise the whole team for my experience there. The staff are extremely professional and friendly, which made each visit a delight. It is stated that tooth movement can happen from Day 1, which I was very skeptical about.

However within minutes of leaving the practice I could see and feel my lower incisors had already moved and continued to do so. My treatment took longer than anticipated, but this was due to the many adjustments I requested, which Stephan accommodated with ease. Straight after my braces were removed I saw the hygienist Monika who was simply fabulous.

She is so knowledgeable and informative. As an adult I was so nervous about embarking on orthodontic treatment but I am so pleased that I took the plunge. I have no hesitation in recommending IGDP for your orthodontic and dentistry needs.
