Tebogo Ramokgadi has travelled to Dubai for a professional smile refresh ahead of National Oral Health Month in September, with the reality star saying the treatment is part of maintaining his image as he prepares for the next stage of his career. The story is also available as an AI-generated audio version.
The reality television personality and socialite has already spent R100,000 on improving his teeth. This time, he returned to Dubai for a polishing procedure that cost about R18,000.
Ramokgadi said the decision was motivated by upkeep rather than insecurity. With filming for season 2 of Diamond and Dolls under way, he explained that his work in entertainment means he is regularly meeting people and wants to feel confident when he smiles. He described his teeth as an important part of the way he presents himself, adding that the treatment was about maintenance, self-assurance and feeling comfortable—not trying to hide a flaw.
He also stressed that an expensive cosmetic treatment should never be viewed as a substitute for basic oral care. A smile goes with a person everywhere, he said, but proper brushing, flossing, routine dental visits and gum care remain essential. In his view, luxury procedures are only one part of the equation; consistent daily habits are what truly protect oral health.
The Dubai visit came as Ramokgadi prepares for a significant new chapter in his television career. His international travel and entertainment plans are continuing to take shape, and he is next preparing to head to Bangkok.
Looking ahead to the second season of Diamond and Dolls, Ramokgadi said he is also creating fresh television and entertainment concepts while expanding his international work and travelling more frequently. He believes the new season will be larger, more polished and more purposeful, reflecting both his personal growth and the evolution of the programme since its debut.
Audiences can expect fresh cast members, distinct personalities, new experiences and a lifestyle that mirrors where he is today. Although the series remains rooted in reality television, he said its production and storytelling are being taken to a higher level, with themes including fashion, travel, ambition, relationships, business and the challenges attached to living a particular kind of lifestyle.
Ultimately, Ramokgadi wants the show to entertain while also exposing viewers to aspiration, creativity and a wider range of possibilities.
