Where exactly is BRS Dental?

The practice is on the 12th floor of The Felix, 58 Strand Street, in the Cape Town city centre. The building was formerly called Picbel Parkade, and some maps and directories still use that name. Parking is available in the building, and a lift takes you up to the 12th floor, so you do not need to manage stairs with a sore tooth or after treatment. Strand Street runs through the city centre, so a visit can often be combined with other errands nearby, whether you are coming from home, from work, or from public transport.

Measured in a straight line from the practice on OpenStreetMap, Long Street is about 110 metres away, the Golden Acre and Bree Street are both about 250 metres away, Greenmarket Square is about 265 metres away, and Cape Town station is about 450 metres away. In practice, this makes the walk from the station a short one, well under ten minutes on foot, though the actual route and time on the day will depend on the streets and crossings you take, so it is worth checking a map application before you leave.

Is it convenient for people working nearby?

Working in or near the city centre can make it hard to fit in a dental appointment. Where possible, a same-day appointment is offered for a problem that cannot wait, which can suit someone who works nearby and needs to be seen without losing a full day travelling across town. See How do same-day dental appointments work in Cape Town? for how this generally works. The practice also opens on Saturday mornings, which is covered in Is there a dentist open on a Saturday in Cape Town city centre?, and can suit someone who commutes into the centre during the week and prefers not to take time off work for a routine appointment.

What if I have a dental problem while I am in the city centre?

Toothache and other dental problems do not wait for a convenient moment. Pain that is severe, or that does not settle with over-the-counter pain relief such as paracetamol or ibuprofen, is worth a call to a dentist rather than pushing through the day. The dental emergency guidance on this site sets out which symptoms need same-day care and which signs mean a hospital emergency unit instead.
