Our Approach

The kind of dentistry where no one rushes you — and nothing is hidden.

i.

Explain first, treat after.

You see every X-ray, photo and plan before consent. The clearer the picture, the easier the chair.

ii.

Gentle by default.

Painless technique is non-negotiable — for nervous adults and first-time children alike.

iii.

Real results, real photos.

Every transformation on this site is a patient of ours, used with their permission. No stock images.

Reception at The Smile Space inside Hayfields Mall
Meet Dr Shazia Khan

Two degrees. One philosophy: never make a patient feel small.

Dr Khan trained twice over — first as a dental therapist, then again as a dental surgeon — because she wanted both the preventative and the restorative side of the craft.

She opened The Smile Space inside Hayfields Mall to be the kind of practice she wished existed when she was younger: calm, welcoming, technically excellent — and honest about what every treatment will and won’t do.

Dr.Khan and her Staff are fantastic. I can never only give 5/5...numbers are not enough to prove how wonderful they are. I say that it’s infinity what they give. I definitely will never use another dentist. All Medical Aids are welcomed as well. Guys...Try Dr.Khan...you will never be sorry.

★★★★★ Trish Sutton · Google Local Guide

The space is immaculate. The dentist is very professional as well as gentle. She explained things and in that way i was informed about what to improve. A big bonus was that she made me feel comfortable in her chair, even when I saw the needle to be stuck into my gums, she was patient when I all but jumped out the chair.

★★★★★ P. Zondi · Google Local Guide

Before you book

The questions our reception hears most.

We welcome most major South African medical aids — including Discovery Health, Bonitas, Momentum, Medihelp, GEMS, Polmed, Bestmed and Profmed. Bring your card on your first visit and we’ll handle the rest.

Nervous patients are most of our work. Dr Khan will talk you through everything before anything starts, and gentle, painless technique is the default — not an upgrade. Tell us at booking and we’ll make extra time.

Absolutely. Paediatric care is one of our focus areas. We treat first-visit nerves with patience and humour, and parents are welcome in the room.

Pricing depends on the work involved — how many teeth, which materials, whether orthodontics is part of the plan. We’ll quote in writing after your consultation so there are no surprises.
