About ELOHC

East London Oral Health Centre is a dental practice that was birthed from Nu-Smile Dental and Pohl Dental Studio joining forces in January 2020.

 

We are based in the suburb of Beacon Bay, serving a community that stretches far beyond the borders of East London.

 

Our staff are eager to learn and we strive to implement treatment of international standards by keeping up to date with the latest technologies and techniques that dentistry has to offer.
