We take pride in being able to serve you with…
A dedicated TEAM
Dr Richard Lombard has over 30 years experience both locally and abroad. He leads the team of friendly, respected professionals whose aim is to help you feel comfortable and relaxed… and to make you smile!
LATEST TECHNIQUES
Our practice is equipped and geared to use the latest techniques and materials. We keep up-to-date with developing technology to provide you with the best care possible. By being members of one of the best study groups in the country and attending all relevant congresses, we are constantly updating our knowledge and skills.
HIGH STANDARDS
We have a strict code of standards with the highest levels of sterility in our immaculate rooms. We value the trust that you have placed in us and would like to assure you that this trust will not be misplaced.
Our Premises
My Dental Clinic is located at Cedar Tree Office Park, opposite Fourways Life Hospital in Johannesburg. Our surgery was the first in South Africa to be purpose built for the Adec 12 O’clock system. This system not only affords optimal ergonomics for doctor and nurse, but as a result, perfect positioning and better quality of treatment and comfort for the patients. The new sleek slim line surgeries with very little exposed equipment also look great, and does away with a lot of the phobias associated with traditional equipment on view for the nervous patients.
We have state-of-the-art sterilising technology and every precaution is taken to keep our patients safe. Our trusted team of Dr Lombard and staff have been serving the Fourways community for over 20 years, providing consistently excellent service and quality that our patients have come to expect.
Our Services
From routine preventative dentistry through to all cosmetic services as well as endodontic, prosthodontic, orthodontic and hygiene services. While we always aim for the optimum cosmetic results, we firmly believe that patient care comes first; hence functionality and health are our prime concern.
general dentistry
We urge you to be diligent with your 6 monthly check ups and oral hygiene appointments. Patients presenting themselves for their six monthly check-ups seldom develop emergencies which require extensive and costly treatment.
oral hygiene
The golden rule of prevention being cheaper than cure, is non-more valid than in dentistry. At ‘My Dental Clinic’ our hygienists play a key role in ensuring the ongoing health of our patients. By being diligent with your oral hygiene appointments you will go a long way in preventing dental diseases likes tooth decay and gum disease. Our Oral Hygienists are expertly qualified to assist you with the following:
- Prophylaxis (Professional cleaning) involving scale and polishing to remove plaque, stain and tartar.
- Application of decay preventative agents, eg: Fluoride treatments.
- Application of tooth desensitising agents.
- Oral hygiene instructions and education.
- Tooth whitening procedures.
- Pit and fissure sealants.
root canal
Having completed an Endodontics diploma at the University of Pretoria, Dr Lombard is able to perform the vast majority of root canal treatments in house. Furthermore, as part of the specialisation, Dr Lombard is fully equipped to deal with traumatic injury cases.
orthodontics
Aligners (clear braces) are a large part of our orthodontic offering, particularly for adult patients wanting to avoid conventional braces.
cosmetic dentistry
- Dental Implants
- Fillings and Crowns
- Veneers
We specialise in cosmetic dentisty at ‘My Dental Clinic’. We offer a full range of services when it comes to crowns, veneers, porcelain fillings, bridges and implants, and have worked in tandem with one of the best dental laboratories in Johannesburg for almost 20 years.
teeth whitening
We offer a full range of bleaching services and have honed over many years our bleaching to be different from traditional laser/ light bleaching systems, as these systems only offer a temporary solution with a need for the patients to have return visits at greater cost and inconvenience. We are one of the few practices in the country who import directly on an overnight basis the Korr bleaching system, recognised to be one of the best and most effective bleaching systems in the world, due to its different makeup and strict storage protocols. The Korr bleaching system is available as a home or in office bleaching protocols. In addition vital or non vital bleaches – slightly different to that of normal bleaching services, are also available for individual teeth, including traumatised dark or discoloured teeth.
TMJ disorder
Dr Lombard has a special interest in Temperomandibular Joint Disorder. TMJ disorder involves problems affecting the jaw joint which often results in pain or limited movement of the jaw. This can lead to among other things -severe persistent headaches, inability to open your mouth wide, clicking and pain in the joint, sensitivity and clenching of the teeth especially at night. Dr Lombard has attended many specialised courses relating to this disorder, and has had much success in helping his patients overcome many of these problems.
