Ask: Is the dentist registered with the HPCSA, and can you share the registration number and full name?
Why it matters: Mobile dentistry is still dentistry. You want a clinician accountable to professional standards, not an untraceable contractor.
What good looks like: They share details easily, and their practice has clear contact channels and a real track record.
Not all mobile dentistry is equal. Some providers bring only basic screening tools. Others bring proper portable clinical equipment and can treat on site.
Ask: Do you arrive with a mobile unit, or do you bring portable equipment into a room? Can you do diagnostics and treatment on site, or only screening and referrals?
What good looks like: A clear explanation of what happens during the visit, what they can do immediately, and what gets referred to a fixed location if needed.
Ask: How are instruments sterilised between patients? Do you use sealed sterile packs? What is your surface disinfection process between patients?
What good looks like: Calm, specific answers with a repeatable process. If they hesitate, get vague, or minimise this, move on.
Mobile dentistry can be ideal for prevention, early intervention, and many everyday treatments. But you should verify what the provider actually offers on site.
Ask: Ask for a written list of services. Depending on setup and clinical scope, this can include checkups and cleaning, fillings, diagnostic assessments, and other treatments.
What good looks like: They clearly state what they can do during the visit, and what requires referral or follow up at a clinic.
A trustworthy provider can explain how they maintain clinic standards outside a fixed practice.
Ask: What equipment do you use for lighting, suction, diagnostics, and patient safety? If you take X-rays, what type and how are images handled and stored?
What good looks like: They can explain their setup in plain language, and they do not overpromise.
