Katja Nunes

Dental Assistant

With years of experience in dental practice, Katja is qualified to be the dentist’s right hand and also the patient’s left hand (caring supporter 😉 ), but also genuinely empathizes with each patient. She finds it rewarding to help guide patients and help them feel at ease in a calm environment. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her family and animals. Katja is also keen on crocheting. Once in a blue moon, she enjoys going to Kaapscehoop to enjoy our beautiful Lowveld.

Practice Hostess

Whether it’s a patient who calls for an appointment or just someone in the waiting room who shares their heart with me. I get to be a witness to someone’s healing journey. I also get to set the atmosphere for what patients experience when they step inside our practice, but the best part of it is welcoming a new face and see how they react when they see it for the first time. 

Outside of work I love the outdoors, especially horse riding and hiking with my two bordercollies.

Francina du Plessis

Practice Hostess

Francina, your dedicated hostess, thrives on her passion for people. A native of the Lowveld, she brings a wealth of experience from the marketing and creative writing industries. Known for her people-loving nature, Francina is compassionate, patient, and meticulously attentive to detail.

In her spare time, she indulges in arts and crafts, and on weekends, she and her husband explore the scenic beauty of the Lowveld on their motorcycle adventures. Francina’s warm and welcoming presence ensures a delightful experience for all patients.

What an amazing experience! Friendly receptionist, fantastic dentist and sympathetic dental assistant. I assumed the “Mint” in your name referred to a toothpaste flavour, but now I know it’s about your “MINT” service!!! You will certainly see me on a regular basis xxx

I can absolutely take a page out of this practices book. Pre appointment communication, thorough dental investigation, gentle and precise workmanship, post procedure follow ups. Bonus is that my children love you too.
Love that I have a dentist that will plan our dental journey with us.

I have been to Mint Dentist a couple of times now and they are highly efficient. Dr Steenkamp explains everything she does and why. never thought would not be scared of a dentist but she definitely helped me and I am looking forward to the road ahead.

I have been to so many dental professionals in the past for orthodontics, maxillofacial surgery, tooth extractions and much more and I can say without a doubt that Dr Stephanie and her team are the best that I have ever been to! The examination was so thorough but also gentle. Dr Stephanie gave great explanations and advice about my personal dental situation and I felt very reassured to be in her hands. The cost for an hour and a half consult of Dr Stephanie’s time was so reasonable and I did not just feel like another patient in and out of her chair. As someone who is very scared of going to yet another dentist I would highly recommend Mint Dentist

What a awesome experience at mint dentist!! friendly and knowledgeable staff. beautiful and brand new equipment and they made us feel so welcome, especially our 5yr old son who can’t stop talking about going to the dentist. i think he is in love with everything dentistry. telling him sweets is going to give him a toothache and we’ll have to go to the dentists is no more a option for us, he will do anything to visit again. thank you Dr Stephanie.
