Dr Dawjee’s focus in digital smile design and collaborative treatment planning allows her to put all these principles into practice. Her understanding of the psychological factors of beauty and the anxieties that patients can experience about dental treatment have facilitated an approach that encompasses a detailed consultation, digital planning and structured execution of all treatments. Through years of study and continued education in smile design, digital dentistry and the face, Dr Dawjee aims to change the dental experience of her patients, from one of fear and anxiety, to one that is holistic, detailed, collaborative and exciting. All underpinned by her philosophy of creating natural, confident and beautiful smiles. Dr Dawjee was the first female DSD Master on the African continent and is proud to be a part of this esteemed group of clinicians in Africa and all over the world.

Using her experience and learnings being part of the Thinc Team, under the guidance and mentorship of Dr Sam, she has developed a deep understanding of the business of dentistry and the impact that we as dentist can have on individuals, communities and our peers.
