Melinda Williams

Oral Hygienist
Melinda Williams qualified as an Oral Hygienist at the University of Pretoria (1988). Starting off in a General and Periodontal Practice she enjoyed helping periodontal patients with their regular maintenance programs. Moving to the North Coast in 1993 she helped Implant and Periodontal patients at a Prostodontic Practice which prompted her to do the expanded functions course in 2003. Her love for children and an interest in aesthetic dentistry led to further studies so that she may administer local anaesthetic and do small restorations. She concentrates on education and prevention as well as early diagnosis. Educating parents and children therefore making their dental appointments stress free and fun. She concentrates on a holistic approach to maintaining oral health and general wellbeing. Her belief that beauty comes from within and reflects outwardly in a beautiful smile has brought about her philosophy of helping patients achieve this by incorporating Teeth Whitening as part of her oral hygiene protocol with amazing results.
