In the words of your parents’ favourite crooner (Frank Sinatra) – “You’re never fully dressed without a smile.” Frank must have been talking about SA celebs because Mzansi red carpet style- slayers like AKA and Pearl Thusi take a trip to the dentist as seriously as dropping paper on a pair of Gucci sneakers.
ZAlebrities are known to spend thousands on upgrading their smiles when visiting Instagram-famous dentist, Dr Alexander Rawhani, aka, Dr Smile.
The hip, Johannesburg-based dentist is known for having a long list of celebrity clients. Graduating at the top of his class when he completed a Masters degree in dentistry from WITS University, Rawhani specializes in general dentistry, paediatric dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, emergency dentistry, root canal therapy, as well as 18karat gold and diamond grills, at THINC practice in Rosebank.
Scroll through to see a selection of 7 of the most stylish SA celebs who’ve visited Dr Smile HQ.
