A Specialist-Led Approach to Preventive Care
At uthotho Implants & Periodontics, oral hygiene care is fully integrated into a specialist-driven treatment philosophy. Patients are not managed in isolation but within a structured clinical framework that prioritises long-term periodontal and implant health.
All patients seen in the Oral Hygiene Suite are treated by a qualified Oral Hygienist working under the direct supervision of Dr SP Mpungose, ensuring that care remains aligned with specialist standards at every stage.

- Patients previously treated for periodontitis
