Angelene Burton (BChD)
I qualified in 1998 with distinction at the University of Pretoria, BCHD(Pret), received my training in dental implants in 2012 with Nobel Biocare and joined the Invisalign group in 2016. I’m a dedicated dentist with a strong interest in Invisalign, surgical dentistry, and implant treatment. I enjoy helping patients achieve healthy, confident smiles using modern, minimally invasive techniques—whether that’s through clear aligner therapy, extractions, or more advanced surgical care.
I have a particular passion for treating nervous and anxious patients. I understand that visiting the dentist can be stressful, so I take pride in creating a calm, supportive environment where patients feel listened to, comfortable, and in control of their care. I believe that clear communication and a gentle approach make all the difference.
I’m committed to continually developing my skills in implant dentistry and oral surgery, and I enjoy providing comprehensive treatment plans tailored to each patient’s needs. My goal is always to deliver high-quality care while building trust and long-term relationships with my patients.
