Dentistry63’s Brianne Khan champions preventative care and patient education to help people maintain healthy smiles for life.
A healthy smile is about so much more than straight, white teeth. Good oral health starts with healthy gums, consistent daily habits and understanding how to care for your mouth before problems arise. It’s a philosophy that has shaped Brianne Khan’s approach to dentistry throughout her career.
Having qualified as a Dental Therapist in 2003 with a bachelor’s degree from the University of KwaZulu-Natal, Brianne brings years of experience and a genuine passion for oral health to Dentistry63, where she has been part of the team for just over a decade.
The family-oriented practice proudly serves the Kloof community, providing comprehensive dental care for patients of all ages. For Brianne, building trust means taking the time to understand each patient’s needs and helping them feel informed and comfortable with their care.
Healthy gums are the foundation
Brianne has a particular interest in periodontal health, which focuses on the gums and other tissues supporting the teeth. She believes that maintaining healthy gums and attending regular professional check-ups are essential to preserving oral health over time.
Rather than concentrating solely on problems once they develop, she prioritises preventative strategies and ongoing maintenance. By explaining what patients can do at home and why it matters, she helps them take an active role in caring for their teeth and gums.
It’s about empowering people with knowledge, giving them the confidence to make informed choices and establish habits that last.
A fresh approach to professional cleaning
As part of her preventative care offering, Brianne provides air polishing, a professional cleaning technique that uses a controlled combination of air, water and fine polishing powder to remove plaque biofilm and surface stains from teeth.
The treatment can reach areas that may be difficult to clean with conventional polishing methods and can leave teeth feeling smooth and fresh. It can also play a valuable role in periodontal maintenance by helping to disrupt biofilm, particularly for patients who require ongoing gum care.
Air polishing offers a minimally invasive cleaning option, although its suitability depends on each patient’s oral health and individual needs. Brianne can recommend the most appropriate approach as part of their care plan.
Dentistry63 also has the BlancOne Clean&White X-Power system, a two-in-one dental prophylaxis and whitening system that combines professional cleaning and whitening capabilities.
For Brianne, however, technology is only one part of effective dental care. What matters most is selecting the right treatment for each patient and explaining how professional procedures complement their everyday oral-care routine.
More than a beautiful smile
Oral healthcare extends beyond the dental chair. It’s about helping people feel confident in their smiles while understanding how everyday choices can influence their oral health and overall wellbeing.
Whether she’s discussing gum health, recommending maintenance or explaining professional cleaning options, Brianne’s approach remains rooted in education, prevention and individual care.
Because a healthy smile isn’t just something you leave the dentist with. It’s something you nurture every day.
