Family Dentist

All that is good begins with a SMILE.


When you visit our office, your smile is our top priority. Our entire team is dedicated to providing you with the personalized, gentle and professional care.

In 2004, Dr Gabriel Pereira graduated at the University of the Witwatersrand and received the Prossa Prize for Clinical Removable Prosthodontics. He then completed a year of Community service in the small town of Lichtenberg in the North West province. Shortly after completing his community service year, Dr Pereira started working at a private practice in Alberton, Gauteng and up until now has been working there for six years. As of July 2011 he became the resident dentist at the Optimum Care Wellness Centre in Faerie Glen, Pretoria.

While practicing in Alberton, Dr Pereira developed and perfected what he calls Family Orientated Dentistry

In children, it is important to place fissure sealants on all permanent premolars and molars. It is also important to give children effective oral hygiene instructions.  Adults need to be assessed for leaking fillings and general maintenance of their teeth and gums. Patients who have lost some or all of their teeth may need to have their dentures checked and adjusted. Other treatment options can also be discussed with Dr. Pereira, for example, crowns, bridges or implants.

Dr Pereira also specializes in the safe removal of Mercury fillings working very closely with Dr. Arnuld Engelbrecht. Together they have formulated a protocol to ensure that these Mercury fillings are removed safely and that the impact on the body is kept to a minimum.

Modern dentistry has been designed to be as painless as possible. At Optimum Care Dr. Pereira ensures that any dental experience will be as pleasant and relaxed as possible.

Please contact 012 991 7616 for appointments and questions.
