Filipino Dentist

Dental veneers are getting more and more popular in the Philippines . With countless celebrities, politicians and other distinguished personalities getting them, more and more people are convinced to undergo the cosmetic treatment. Today, the industry of dental veneers is continuously booming due to the increased dental tourism in the Philippines . Moreover, this cosmetic solution easily attracted people since it is a quick way to a beautiful smile. Unlike traditional braces which include brackets, wires and monthly adjustments, dental veneers are made by a thin piece of porcelain that recreates the natural look of teeth. It is then attached to the front layer of the teeth to instantly enhance the brightness of the teeth, straighten misalignment and correct imperfections (such as discoloration, fractures, chips and gaps). Though these are good at recreating the natural look of teeth, while also providing strength and resilience comparable to natural tooth enamel, special care is req...

“When the patient’s wellness and well-being are made to depend on doctors or dentists, every reasonable step should be taken in order to stave off any maleficence and administer only beneficence.” - Quezon City Rep. Winston Castelo Dental malpractice is a big no. Gross ignorance and negligence on the part of some dentists have caused injuries and needless deaths of patients. Thus, the proposed Anti- Medical and Dental Malpractice Act is pushed to get rid of incompetent dental practitioners who couldn’t provide patients with quality oral care. This bill complements the Medical Malpractice Act of 2004 by imposing stiffer penalties on dental malpractice. Both bills prioritize the safety and welfare of patients. Talk about the safety and welfare of patients, being a victim of dental malpractice can be avoided by recognizing the warning signs early. These are the following: 1. Misdiagnosis – A dentist’s misdiagnosis or failure to notice a problem with teeth, gums and or...

With the Internet, looking for dentists is as easy as doing a simple Google search. Reviews will come up and you can read testimonies, do a background check on the dentist, and even see their rates. However, even if you find a good dentist, there may be another obstacle for you and that is inconvenience. The searches mostly check out the nearest clinics to your location and there are times that even in Makati, a dental clinic that has reviews won’t show up on searches because it isn’t registered on Google Maps or some just aren’t talked about all that much.

Ever since childhood, I have this stigma about how I look with my set of teeth. I feel uncomfortable with it because it has a huge gap in between my two front teeth and have smaller set of teeth beside those two. Not to mention, I also have an overbite problem and 2 sets of wisdom tooth that should be removed. Haaaay! Stress! I have been contemplating about this every morning. Looking at the mirror was really devastating but discovering that someone actually experienced the same and eventually improved herself is a sense of accomplishment as well.    Who said that happily ever after only exists in a fairy tail? Watching this would inspire you to find the best  Makati dentist around:

One of the slow but completely safe methods of beautifying yourself is in the form of straightening your teeth through getting braces. But chances are, once the braces are on, no matter how good a doctor your Makati dentist is, it will not be enough for you to not feel discomfort or pain while the braces are on. Oh, and they’ll be on. For at least 18 months. And it’s exactly because of this cycle of discomfort of getting braces adjusted, experiencing pain, having difficulty eating, coping with the pain, getting comfortable eating again, then finding out a month has passed and you need to get your braces tightened again and again that some people back out halfway through the treatment and get their braces removed prematurely. What should you expect when you get braces on and have them taken out earlier than expected (aside from never being able to refund your initial down payment)? After 2 Weeks Not much would have already happened. It is likely that you’ll feel di...

Nowadays, it is common to see a millennial walking around the street, in the malls, or even riding a jeepney, flaunting their teeth as if they are that pretty with that metal piece on. Yes, it sounds bitter but to be honest, some of the braces I’ve seen doesn’t look good at all, as if some cheap piece of metal was just installed on their teeth. I don’t know but something just doesn’t feel right. Yes, I know that before it was a status symbol for some but seeing it too common just means that it is now for the masses. I do not have anything against the masses because I’m also one of them but my curiosity and bitterness (yes, I am bitter and I can’t afford it) led me to find a cheaper alternative, guess what I’ve found: “Nope, I would not sacrifice my whole set of teeth for dentures. But I saw the emergence of DIY braces, the cheapest option I have.” The Dangers of Doing DIY Braces What are DIY Braces? DIY Braces,comes from the abbreviation DIY or Do-It-Yourself is a kind of ...

Why I need Dental Veneers For a long-time now, I have been planning to have my set of teeth to have braces. I know that many people in the Philippines have been dreaming to have those metal brackets installed in their teeth as a status symbol or just as simple as my reason, to have my crooked teeth fixed and my jaws fixed too. So there it is, I had my teeth checked and asked for some dentist’s advice. I inquired to my auntie’s dental clinic and asked, “ready nap o ba for braces ang ngipin ko?” And she replied, “Bale, may 4 na wisdom tooth ka tapos may dalawa kang maliit na ngipin sa harap.” I replied, “Magkano po ba yung wisdom tooth extraction? At yung iba pa?” She replied, “Anak, 5k isang wisdom tooth tapos iba pa yung veneers.” Woah, before getting braces, it looks like I need to get these things done first. I have my 4 wisdom tooth extracted. I went bankrupt honestly and had to save first for my dental veneers. So, what’s dental veneers? How much dental veneers cost in...
