FresherBreath (Houghton)

My daughter's journey for a great smile started in October 2023 with Dr Moolla. WOW!! What a service, what a result. He deserves 10 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Dr Moolla is one in a few, best of the best, his professionalism is beyond, so passionate about his work, very very reasonably priced. He's so gentle on kids and always keep them interested in hygiene. I couldn't ask for more. The receptionists are superb.My daughter always covered her mouth when talking or smiling. She had all sorts of dental issues, ranging from crooked teeth, misaligned teeth, spaced teeth, tongue biting, difficulty pronouncing certain words, you name it. She didn't like herself at all. 3 months after wearing braces l noticed a massive change in her teeth, they were all coming together. She started gaining confidence. I was so pleased and can't wait to take my other daughter to him for braces. All l can say is that if you or your child has dental challenges, don't look further, Dr Moolla @ Fresher breath in Houghton is the one for you. He is indeed the one. Call them now and l can tell you, you will never go wrong. He knows his work and is very passionate about kids. My daughter removed her braces November 2025 and the beautiful smile on her face is unbelievable. She can't stop smiling. It's like a, "Welcome Back to self" . We all couldn't believe it. It was an amazing fruitful journey. Thank you Dr Moolla for adding a great smile to my daughter. Thank you for bringing her confidence back. Words alone can't describe how you changed her life. We greatly appreciate your service 🙏. Look at the before Pic and the after Pic. It's amazing. Happy parents/patient. 🌹🌹🌹

Poor After-Service and Communication I visited FresherBreath for a routine check-up and cleaning, which was perfectly fine. Unfortunately, the after-service and overall communication from the practice were extremely disappointing and unprofessional. During my appointment on 9 February, moulds were taken and I ordered additional dental products. From that point onward, the experience became frustrating. I had to follow up numerous times with the receptionist to check on the status of the products and plates. Each time I called, I was assured that I would receive a call back with an update, but this never happened. After nearly a month of repeatedly following up with no response, I eventually sent an email to the office expressing my frustration with the lack of communication. I was then assured that the products would be ready by the end of that week and that I would receive a call on Friday to arrange collection. Friday came and went without any communication. On Monday morning, I once again had to follow up myself, only to be told that the products had "arrived that morning" and that I could come and collect them. The complete lack of proactive communication and the need to constantly chase updates made the experience extremely frustrating. Unfortunately, this will be the last time I visit this practice.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 I had such a great experience with Dr. Moolla throughout my orthodontic journey. From the very beginning, he explained every step of the process clearly, so we always knew exactly what to expect. He never rushed through appointments and always made sure we were informed beforehand about any procedure, possible discomfort, or after-care. What I appreciated most was his gentle manner and how patient he was with all our questions. His bedside manner is truly exceptional — reassuring, respectful, and very professional. It made the whole treatment so much easier and less stressful. I’m really grateful for the care and attention we received. Highly recommend Dr. Moolla to anyone looking for an orthodontist who genuinely cares about his patients.

I was reffered to Fresher Breath by my collegue. I would like to sincerely thank Dr Suhina Deochand for my root canal procedure. She explained every step of the procedure in a clear and professional manner, which put me at ease. I was expecting the worst as my tooth was in a bad state and had been causing me so much pain. The experience was far better than I anticipated. I would recommend Fresher Breath to my friends and family any day! Also would like to thank Violet at Reception for her kindness and welcoming attitude!

Two dentists, Friendly, professional and clean environment. Dentist was patient and accommodating. Very helpful and informative. Receptionist gives you a call as a reminder a day before your visit. They also have some great products available. Reason to smile😁

Dr Moola did my braces for me. He was so reasonable, caring, meticulous, result driven, has great bedside manner and is so professional and the finished product was everything I hoped for and more. I have had a gap in my teeth for as long as I can remember and finally with Dr Moola’s help it is completely gone.

The service rendered here was very okay. The dentist that attended to me took her time to explain things to me. I was there to clean my teeth and it went seamlessly without pain or damage to my gums. The environment is friendly, clean, and organized. They take medical aid for those that have.

My sister and I had an incredible experience with Doctor Adams, I got braces to straighten my teeth, and the results have been fantastic my smile is now perfectly aligned. My sister started with a Myobrace, which helped correct her jaw position, and then got braces to complete the realignment of her teeth. The entire process was smooth, and the team was always professional, friendly, and supportive. From the first consultation to the final adjustments, they provided expert care and guidance, making sure we were comfortable and informed every step of the way. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-quality orthodontic treatment! A huge thank you to Dr. Adams for his kindness, wisdom, and great sense of humor throughout our orthodontic journey. Over the years, he not only transformed our smiles but also made every appointment enjoyable with his stories and friendly nature. His patience and dedication meant so much to us, and we truly appreciate the time and effort he put into making our experience a great one. We couldn’t have asked for a better orthodontist!

I recently had my braces removed, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Dr. Adam and Dr. Moolla are exceptional professionals who ensured that my treatment plan was smooth and effective. The staff were consistently polite, friendly, and accommodating, making each visit a pleasant one. From start to finish, the level of care and expertise was outstanding. I highly recommend this practice to anyone seeking orthodontic treatment!

Complaint about Fresher Breath and Dr. M Essop. I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with the service provided by Fresher Breath, specifically with Dr. M Essop, regarding my daughter's orthodontic treatment. Despite being on Myobrace treatment for a year and a half (my daughter is extremely compliant and is now on Stage 2), her doctor did not bother to follow up on her treatment unless I call the surgery for a follow up, which I believe is rather unprofessional on her behalf. In addition to the ineffective treatment we have experienced issues with billing and insurance claims. Dr. Essop provided incorrect medical aid codes, which resulted in our claims being refused, that too after numerous attempts to get her to help me. It appears that Dr. Essop's office did not submit the necessary documentation, including X- rays to our medical aid, apart from our first visit, no X-rays were taken up until now to show any further progress. The service provided by Dr. Essop has been subpar in several ways. Appointments are often delayed, and we rarely receive detailed feedback or updates on my daughter's treatment. It's been 5 months since the last time she's called me for a follow up and I think that's very unprofessional considering the price I paid for the treatment. Given the issues we have experienced with Dr. Essop's service, including the lack of progress, poor communication, billing errors and inadequate care, we have lost confidence in Fresher Breath and Dr. M Essop's ability to provide quality orthodontic treatment. When we met her at Milpark, she was a good dentist, however upon her move to Houghton, something went wrong there. We urge management of Fresher Breath to please take our complaint seriously and take necessary actions to address these concerns. Sincerely, Amanda
