Laboratory

At Jocor Dental, we believe in efficient and locally focused care, which is why we are proud to introduce our on-site dental laboratory located right here in Lephalale. This is housed in our new second building at 11 Herman Street, which also features a additional surgery. The biggest benefit to you is significantly reduced turnaround times because we manufacture essential items—including dental retainers, mouth guards, bite plates, and orthodontic study models—locally in Lephalale, eliminating the need to send your work away to bigger cities like Pretoria.This enables better quality control and direct collaboration between our dentists and the lab team, ensuring high-quality, precise results. Please remember, our main building and administrative hub will continue to operate at 5 Herman Street.

The Journey

Jocor Dental took over from the beloved Dr Machiel Geldenhuys, an old favourite in Lephalale. Many people adored him, and he is deeply instilled in their hearts. Dr van der Linde however had a new vision for the building and renovations (its proverbial renaissance) commenced in August 2018. Jocor Dental officially opened its doors on 1 October 2018. To show our development, here are some photographs to illustrate the transition of the practice.
