Meet Dr Naidoo
Innovator. Craftsman. Visionary.
Meet Dr Vevasen Naidoo, Director at the Aesthetic Dental Institute (ADI)
With his unique and lauded approach to holistic dental care, and over a decade of experience in the dental industry, Dr Naidoo has earned an enviable reputation as one of KZN’s leading dental surgeons.
The University of the Western Cape Dentistry graduate has also amassed a number of locally and internationally-accredited qualifications to add to his already impressive skill set, with the addition of a postgraduate diploma in Implantology from UWC as part of his never-ending pursuit to provide his patients with cutting-edge treatments and experiences. Compassion is at the core of Dr Naidoo’s brand, and his approach to dentistry is deeply embedded in the principles of Batho Pele (putting people first) – which he achieves through mutual respect for the dignity of his patients and his craft.
A consummate professional who is uncompromising on quality and care, Dr Naidoo is passionate about the bespoke brand of dentistry he’s created, one that’s rooted in excellence, precision, and a desire to transform a patient’s smile – and their lives.

His tailor-made approach to modern dentistry is entrenched in the values of emotional dentistry (the practice of understanding the emotional connection between a person and their smile); biological dentistry (focussing on the interconnectivity of body and oral health and treating the patient accordingly), and in creating a safe and open space for patients to take control of their oral healthcare issues and needs.
The ADI Experience
The Aesthetic Dental Institute (ADI) is situated in the picturesque hamlet of Hillcrest, in Durban.
Our practice philosophy is established on the principles of comfort and care, and we strive to cultivate an environment of warmth, calm and inclusivity for all who visit.
From the moment our patients enter our doors, they’re welcomed by our team with a warm smile and a genuine desire to help best fulfil their treatment needs.

Our holistic approach to patient care is second to none, and we curate an experience for every patient with dental excellence in mind.
Our treatment rooms are where advanced technology and modern comforts meet, and have been specifically designed to promote an aura of tranquillity. We play ambient music to help maintain a sense of serenity; provide weighted blankets to relieve anxiety and apprehension, as well as heated blankets on colder days. We also provide patients with eye masks for relaxation during longer procedures, and neck pillows to increase comfortability.
A diagnostic assessment of a patient’s vitals (including blood pressure monitoring and pulse oximeter readings) is also conducted for those undergoing conscious sedation (for procedures such as full mouth rehabilitation, implant therapy and smile makeovers).
We are also committed to maintaining and enforcing strict Covid-19 protocols for all our patients, including: conducting temperature checks on entry, providing Covid-19 questionnaire forms for each patient to fill in; ensuring patients’ hands are properly sanitised, and providing disposable booties to wear on premises.
At ADI, we firmly believe that the journey towards a perfect smile starts with open communication, realistic expectations, and a shared vision.
Whether your healthcare needs are cosmetic, preventative, restorative, or rehabilitative, you can be guaranteed that our world-class approach to holistic dentistry is solutions-orientated, and rooted in gold standard practices.
