Building Strong Foundations

Arch Dentistry: Strength, Precision and a Patient-First Philosophy

At Arch Dentistry, we are dedicated to enhancing both the smiles and the overall wellbeing of our patients. Combining advanced digital technology with expert knowledge and a personalised, human-centred approach, we help individuals achieve and maintain optimal oral health.

Rooted in Purpose

Arch Dentistry is the evolution of one of South Africa’s leading dental practices, The Cosmetic and Dental Emporium. While the name has changed, our unwavering commitment to personalised care, clinical excellence, and patient-first service remains at the heart of everything we do.

The “arch” in our name holds deep meaning. It represents the natural configuration and alignment of the teeth within the dental arch—central to both oral function and aesthetics. But it also symbolises one of the strongest forms in architecture: an elegant structure in which every component supports and reinforces the whole. In the same way, our team of professionals works collaboratively, delivering integrated care with strength, accuracy and grace.

“The new name is a more authentic reflection of who we’ve become and where we’re heading. Our founding ethos remains unchanged—anchored in excellence, empathy, and innovation.” – Dr Van Niekerk

A Modern Approach to Comprehensive Care

Arch Dentistry blends the art and science of dentistry in a seamless way—bringing together function, aesthetics, and long-term health outcomes. With a strong focus on implant and rehabilitative dentistry, we begin every patient journey by evaluating health first, followed by function, and then aesthetics. This layered approach ensures that beauty is built on a foundation of stability and wellness.

As Dr Van Niekerk explains:

“We start from a position of health—understanding the patient’s needs holistically before moving on to function and finally, aesthetics.”
