Dr. Norbert Krämer

Dr. Norbert Krämer achieved his degree “MSc Orthodontics” at the Danube University of Krems / Austria in 2005.
His scale of treatment covers the early treatment of children in the early mixed dentition as well as in the late mixed and permanent dentition.
The orthodontic treatment of adults (Clear Braces) can be done with transparent aligners. Orthocaps aligners –www.orthocaps.com –  discreetly correct the position of the teeth, working almost imperceptibly over time until the final result is achieved.  Malpositioned teeth are gently adjusted.
The orthodontic treatment may be carried out -if necessary- in collaboration with the other Dentists/Maxillo-facial Surgeon / Implantologist on our team. In this way an optimum individual result of the patients treatment can be achieved.
Appointments for evening sessions are available with Norbert.

Sarie Libenberg

Sarie Libenberg

I’ve been part of the dental industry for more than 30 years. I love people and I love dentistry. Being a dental hygienist, I get to have best of both worlds. I get to make a difference in people’s lives and be part of their journey through life. I’m taking a holistic approach in oral care through preventative dentistry and motivation, focusing on the direct link between oral and systemic health.
I’m treating a broad spectrum of patients from toddlers to geriatrics. Apart from dental cleanings, I’m also doing in-chair teeth whitening, treatment of halitosis and improving general aesthetics. I am so fortunate to be appreciated for my role in dentistry and society. Apart from my clinical work, I am super blessed to regularly get opportunities to lecture and share my knowledge and experience in dentistry. I love teaching and value everyone who shows interest in gaining knowledge. I’m a strong believer that we all get multiple opportunities in life. Some of us take these opportunities and others let it pass them by. I never say no to an opportunity to learn and grow. This often brings the thought: “Oh my word, how on earth am I going to do this!!!!!!!!” But then it is too late to turn around and somehow; we always manage what we once thought was impossible!
