Arch Clinic
Implant and Rehabilitation Clinic
At Arch Dentistry, we believe successful implant rehabilitation begins with understanding the patient, not simply replacing missing teeth.
Our Implant and Rehabilitation Clinic in Ballito provides comprehensive assessment, surgical implant treatment and restorative dentistry for patients requiring anything from a single dental implant to complex full-mouth rehabilitation.
By integrating advanced digital planning, clinical experience and computer-aided prosthetic design, we aim to develop treatment solutions that restore comfortable function, natural-looking aesthetics and long-term oral health.

Comprehensive Implant Dentistry
A coordinated approach to replacing and restoring teeth
Dental implants are used to replace missing teeth by providing support for crowns, bridges or more extensive prosthetic restorations.
At Arch Dentistry, implant dentistry forms part of a broader restorative philosophy. We evaluate the condition of your remaining teeth, supporting bone, gum tissues, bite and overall dental health before recommending treatment.
Where natural teeth can be predictably maintained, preservation remains an important consideration. Our aim is to recommend an appropriate treatment strategy based on your clinical needs, functional requirements and personal preferences.
Service Excellence
Meet Raksha. She is an excellent communicator and will assist in all administrative aspects of your journey, from booking your first appointment to managing your treatment schedule. She is always happy and loved by all our patients.
Detailed Diagnosis
This is the Sirona Axeos 3D CBCT machine. This is also the starting point for every patient and an invaluable tool in the diagnosing and treatment planning processes. The machine is unique in that it produces incredibly sharp, large volume images - perfect for implant and rehabilitation dentistry.
3D Scanned
The Trios 4 by 3Shape produces extremely accurate 3D scans of patients’ mouths, replacing traditional impressions. When merged with the 3D volumes created by the CBCT machine, these 3D scans make digital implant and rehabilitation planning possible. They are an excellent visual tool to show the treatment process.
Full Frames
The taking of well-oriented and accurately lit photographs greatly enhances case planning and the digital design process. Most cases involve a photography session to capture the necessary information for case planning. Dr van Niekerk is fanatical about photography and only uses the best equipment to achieve consistent, quality images.
3D Printed
Able to print a host of different biocompatible materials, the 3D printer allows digital scans and designs to be processed in a clean and accurate workflow. Used to print prototypes, models guides and much more, the power of 3D printing in dentistry is unparalleled, offering novel treatment solutions.
Precise Milling
This PM7 5-axis milling machine from Ivoclar® is a behemoth and central to the clinic’s production facility, capable of milling and finishing a host of materials to an industry-leading standard in accuracy. We produce complex implant frameworks previously outsourced to offshore labs, reducing treatment timeframes and costs.
Precision Through Digital Dentistry
Planning the restoration before placing the implants
An implant is only one component of a successful dental rehabilitation. The intended final teeth, their position, appearance and relationship to the opposing dentition are central to our treatment planning.
Our digital workflow brings together diagnostic imaging, intraoral scanning, clinical photography and computer-aided design to help coordinate surgical and restorative treatment.
The objective is to plan each implant around the restoration it is intended to support.

Frequently Asked Questions
Implant and Rehabilitation Clinic
A dental implant is a biocompatible fixture placed into the jawbone to support a replacement tooth or prosthetic restoration.
Depending on the clinical situation, implants can support individual crowns, bridges or complete-arch restorations.
Suitability depends on factors including your general health, oral health, available bone, gum condition and the proposed restoration.
A comprehensive clinical assessment, supported by appropriate diagnostic imaging, helps determine the available treatment options.
No. Many patients have sufficient bone for implant placement without augmentation.
Where bone volume or anatomy is inadequate, grafting or an alternative surgical approach may be considered.
Treatment time varies according to the number of implants, healing requirements and the complexity of the restoration.
Some patients qualify for immediate temporary restoration, while others require staged treatment and additional healing time.
The cost depends on the number of implants, the surgical requirements, restorative materials and complexity of treatment.
Following your consultation and diagnostic assessment, we provide an individual treatment proposal with the recommended procedures and associated costs.
A single dental implant generally supports the replacement of one missing tooth.
All-on-X rehabilitation involves a complete arch of replacement teeth supported by multiple strategically positioned implants.
The appropriate treatment depends on the extent of tooth loss and the patient's individual requirements.
